Bill Maher's anti-Christian documentary
I stayed up late last night to watch the David Letterman show. I normally do not watch it (nothing against David), but since Sen. McCain was supposed to be on, so I decided to watch it. Sen. McCain decided that he should be in Washington working on the economic crises, so he canceled on Letterman. Dave obviously did not take it lightly, because for the rest of the show he ripped McCain relentlessly. That is not the point why I am writing. While watching I saw a commercial for a "documentary" film from Bill Maher. The film titled; Relgulous is supposed to be about how ridiculous religion is, and it does it in joking way. This is an obvious retaliation to the film that Ben Stine released last spring. I have not yet watched the film, so I cannot have a critical view of it yet, but I have seen a trailer for it. From what I have seen the film is supposed to be critical of all religions, but from interviews and clips that I have seen, it is more or less directed towards Christianity (Maher does have some gay Muslims he interviews though). Maher has selected some off the wall folks, and puts them in a more ridiculous light than what they are already in, and labels them true Christians. This is very dishonest, and to compare it to the work that Ben Stine did in his film; Expelled. Ben did not make any stupid jokes about atheist, all he had to do was ask them questions about their faith, and they became bumbling fools. Ben didn't have to interview the nut jobs that followed the pagan beliefs, he went right to their poster boy Richard Dawkins. So the joke is on Bill Maher, he has no evidence or no rhetoric to prove any of his opinions. All that I have heard from him is jokes and ranting. My question is; is this the best that the pagans can do? They laugh and call us foolish for believing, and worshiping in a God that created the universe. They believe the world has created itself, thus they worship themselves. I would love to see them interview a solid Christian scholar just once. I am sure Dr. John MacArthur would love to debate Mr. Bill Maher on this point. Here is the You Tube link for one of Billy's rantings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmar4-NAJ
