Bill Maher shreds organized religion on Scarborough Country

[titsrock]

Meester--why do you pay careful attention to LOST, the greatest TV show in the last 20 years, and yet you are *loooooooose* with the facts in many, many other threads:dunno:

You called Maher Jewish early on this thread and then went off into ramble mode...when if fact there's this....

If this quote refers to Bill Maher I think you are mistaken.

Bill Maher is the son of a Catholic dad and a Jewish mum. He was raised Catholic. He talks about at length with his sister and his mum in his movie.

This is early on in his Wiki page. He has never practiced Judaism in his life regardless of what his mother was. This is why we don't call Obama a Muslim simply because his father was. Doesn't a person actually have to PRACTICE the religion to be labeled a believer of that religion?

i think thats it!
i just read he calls himself an atheist.
his wiki article, man he really does seem confused.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Maher

It's too bad you didn't read that wiki page further because then you would actually know what Bill Maher considers himself...oh, okay, I'll do the work for you. From Bill Maher's Wiki

Maher declared himself an apatheist instead of an agnostic on Scarborough Country on April 24, 2007.

In an interview with Times Online Maher noted, "I'm not an atheist, though, because the belief that there is no God only mirrors the certitude of religion. No, I'm saying that doubt is the only appropriate response for human beings.

If we can all just forget about this religious crap for a minute. WE SHOULD ALL BOW DOWN TO BILL MAHER because (again on his wiki), not only has he been a fixture at the Playboy mansion pretty much his entire adult life,but in 2006 he was hittin' an ex-pornstar who wrote a New York Times Bestseller...this babe, :bowdown:Karrine Steffans:bowdown:


I daresay there is not a babe in Colombia as hot as that....:thefinger

Well, to be fair to Maher he does cover all the bases in his movie. He goes to the wailing wall, the dome of the rock, Salt Lake City and a bunch of other places. He stands on the very spot where that dutch guy was stabbed to death for criticising Islam/Alla/Muslims, he talks to that dick head British Muslim rapper.

At the end he delivers an impassioned speech which I believe was sincere. In it he calls for rationality. In the middle of the movie he talks to a couple of catholics who in my opinion should be promoted to pope and vice pope without delay.

Weapons of mass distruction in the hands of religious zealots are a short cut back to the middle ages for those un/lucky enough to survive the inevitable launching. His movie was nothing more or less than a light hearted attempt to wake up the masses to this fact. He has my vote.

He's jewish , I'm 100% sure of that.
But thats not even the point.
The point was that its accepted and cool and fashionable to disrespect christianity but don't go near judism or your career will be destroyed and you'll be labeled racist

You mean some slut who has admittedly fucked a shitload of guys for money, including billy boy?
So we should bow down to him for that?

And you couldn't be more wrong about that last statement.

Do you think charlie or claire will return this season?

You should just give it up about him being Jewish and move along...

Nobody goes near Judaism because there are no more jokes left. Larry King, Jerry Seinfeld and every other New York Comic pretty much told them all.

I haven't seen his film but this clip pretty much makes it clear that he's criticizing organized religions and non-christian religions too (what do you think they practice in Pakistan?)

Actually, yes, because Bill Maher is about as handsome as Alfred E Newman. And do you really care if pornstars fuck a lot of guys and get paid for it? Would that stop you from fucking one if she picked you up at a bar?

Do you think charlie or claire will return this season?

No Charlie, No Penny, yes Claire would be my guess. Charlie and Penny are locked into "Flash Forward" would be my guess....I think they will pull out pre-filmed footage and show it throughout the season, but that isn't the same thing as the actors being back on the series....I saw my first LOST promo during FlashForward tonight:nanner:

Maher is what he practices and says he is. Just like everyone else.:2 cents:

 

[Mrs Jolly]

that just shows that he's full of shit, the ultimate flip flopperone day hes atheist, in this video he believes in god.
I have not liked him since he got on ted nugent for defending the 2nd amendment like 10 years ago, but i do agree with him once in a while.

Er, wouldn't it be true to say that if a bunch of Jews hadn't flip flopped on their beliefs there wouldn't have been a bunch of disciples? And therefore no christianity.

Good for you then that Jesus didn't preach a negative sermon about Tedus Nugentus: the quick silver Lyreist who advocated for slings for all or Peter never would have joined the flock.

 

[Will E Worm]

He's correct on a few things.

On this subject he doesn't have a clue.

i'd like to offer Maher the chance to write a movie about bashing Islam and for him to promote it in the middle-east; i'm sure that would go over real good!

I like Maher, but for him to take a large group of people like Judeo-Christians and lump them all as nuts is uncalled for.

I agree. But, it's not "Judeo-Christianity."

Maher could make the anti-Islam movie here.

He's too cowardly to make one.

was it Salman Rushdie who did some anti-Islam thing and to this day there is still a bounty on his head, or was it someone else?

Salman Rushdie was condemned to death by the former Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on February 14, 1989,

The Satanic Verses and the fatwā

The publication of The Satanic Verses in September 1988 caused immediate controversy in the Islamic world because of what was perceived as an irreverent depiction of the prophet Muhammad.

 

[titsrock]

^That book (The Satanic Verses) is on my must read list...

How in whichever god's name you want did Salman Rushdie ever bang Padme Lakshmi? That is a mystery worthy of the Sphinx.
