I have my problems with Bill Maher, but I look forward to this. It is past time people put these religious assholes in their place.

[SLCPUNK]

Looks like a good one.

All praise the flying spaghetti monster.

Religious assholes? And I thought I was notorious in making outrageous generalisations.

But maybe the practice of religions is diferent in USA than Scandinavia.

I don't discriminate, all religious people are deluded assholes.

[fuckin crazy]

 Ok, maybe not assholes; just deluded.

[norway]

Why deluded?

The spiritual part is just a small part of the actual practise of religions, often the spiritual parts is dropped altogether.
Like with the Olympic Games.

It's based on a ceremony where men were to do a series of activities, the winner were to produce with a priestiess.
THAT is what OL is based on.

I myself worked briefly in a Christian (and I am anti-Christian ) group.

The main thing they did was give away food, toys, clothes, furniture etc to those who needed.
By doing that they where operating from Christian ideas, values and ideology.

When it comes to the ritualmagic, singing songs and praying was done with focus on the social and mental aspects. Not spiritual.
The Christian group used to have weekly dinner for example, for all to come.

Or trying to help people in a tough situation, help in humanitary issues basicly.

So you see, at least where I live that religous people are far from deluded.

[fuckin crazy]

Why deluded?

For the same reasons of Greek Mythology. I have been drinking heavily, and I might not be able to explain myself well, but I think it is readily apparent, to anyone with an open mind, that religion is bullshit.

I think Greek mythology are great. Thats some of the best ideologies when put in practise.
It's a great foundation for eucological industry for example.

Not that you'd need religion to live after certain ideals, values but I am just pointing out religion is far more than beliving blindly in some myths or the existence of a specific god, godess.

My favorite are the pagan religions and the Nordic gods. Fr?y anyone?

A noble God, but Thor will kick his ass.

How so? Name one non-supernatural related thing that religious people do that nonreligious people don't do.

But thats what I said, you don't need religion to do x, y and z.
I'm just pointing out that the practise of religions are more diverse and non-stereotypic then what some people seem to think.

It's both good and bad elements, depends on the practicants really.

ok, but the part of religion which actually makes it religion is pretty uniform.

Bill Maher is a jackass.

First off, there are a lot of religious nutjobs in the world sure, but there are also people are very intelligent, logical, down-to-earth people who have firm convictions about their faith and have gathered that conviction through critical analysis of the Bible/Qur'an/religious text and historical fact.

Second, Bill doesn't know the facts. He's merely exploiting extremism for humor. Not to mention he so proudly declared that he hadn't read a book in years. Regardless if that statement was truth or not, he's merely taking his opinions, glorifying them, and stating them as fact all the while exploiting both the religious extremists and preying on people with limited knowledge.

If he wants to make a movie, then make a make a satire. But this is nothing more than a dishonest "documentary" with a cynical ideology and agenda.

Haha, that is the classical definition of an oxymoron.
