Real or full of crap? I read that he was really a Jesus freak, but I'm being he's just messing around.

Bill Maher
|
I've never heard that he's a Jesus freak. He certainly says otherwise in literally every show that he puts on. I'm a fan, Real Time is one of my favorite shows.
Plus Religulous, plus all his stand-ups. Don't think he's a closet Christard. What would the angle be?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

From a Funny or Die bit. There's no "Gotcha" moment, so I imagine people are running with it.

I read that he was really a Jesus freak, but I'm being he's just messing around. That clip is obviously a joke and there is no good reason to think that he believes anything other than what he says. On a side note I don't find him to be funny at all. He's a whiny, braying pseudo-intellectual with a poor understand of most of the things that he talks about. I can never forget cringing at an interview with Mike Huckabee where Bill Maher described evolution as being 'about the monkeys and stuff' I'm probably in the minority on these forums but I thought that Religioulous was a poorly done movie that looked and felt extremely amateurish and poorly researched. I also find him to be poorly rehearsed, he reads most of the jokes on his show like it's his first time going over them, like he was too lazy to rehearse anything and had nothing to do with the writing process. Also I don't think he's funny. ![[Image: dcep7c.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i46.tinypic.com%2Fdcep7c.jpg)
"And not the charity stuff, because they've got that covered." That was great.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould 
I like Bill Maher despite him being entirely unlikable. He's an unfunny person who says funny things. And his suit isn't helping him. I mean, that head of his is formal enough. He could use a bit of loosening up in the image department.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay." For context, this is the previous verse: "Hi Jesus" -robvalue  RE: Bill Maher

Bill Maher is a fucking riot. Though come to think of it so many great comics are atheists, we got bill hicks, George Carlin, Eddie izzard, Ricky Gervais, jon steward, Stephen colbear. Who do the Christians have? I shockofgod and nephilimfree are pretty funny but I do not think that is intentional.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. |
