"It sounds crazy, because it is"

Bill Maher was on the Daily Show promoting his new movie the other day, Religulous. Watch it below.



I think Bill Maher is great a lot of the time. He is really intelligent and sometimes funny. But Bill, come on. What Maher doesn't understand is that he is, as one commentator put it, "as Religulous as the rest of us." All the while Bill is condemning organized religion, he himself touts his own faith, namely, "European progressivism." Basically, he holds to a sort of nihilism, believing that that he should be able to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however he wants. But if he would only step back, he'd see that his positions are, in truth, beliefs, just like Muslims, Christians and Scientologists. For goodness sakes, Maher has made a movie trying to convert the world from their beliefs to his own!

Of course more could be said. But one must always point such simple logical fallacies. In truth, Maher's religion is elitism.
