Bill Maher's 'Questions to Ponder'

I don't go to the movies very often. I'll probably give this a pass but it doesn't mean that I won't go see it. Christians have always been able to laugh at them selves. As kids we have asked these very questions. Being able to see pass these things and not take ourselves to seriously has made us stronger.

Bill Maher is a comic/satirist/political junkie. I hope that he does offend everybody and that they can laugh at themselves. I have been accused of being a heretic because I have called the creationists "Flat-Earth Christians" who fail to see God as the only true Father and Author of Science.

I like Bill Mahar, have always appreciated his sense of humour, as well as his intelligence. He is an equal opportunity offender, and no race, religion, gender or political party is safe from his barbs. I will see this as I enjoy his take on everything.

I find Maher extremely funny except when I find his hostility toward faith extremely offensive. I realize that most of his attacks really only are aimed at those who are both politically conservative and religiously far right conservative. But he paints with such a broad brush that he seems completely dismissive of any legitimate faith. Interestingly, he tones down the anti-Christian rhetoric if someone like Jesse Jackson or Cornel West is on his show.

I don't find his questions difficult to answer from a faith based perspective at all. Much like certain militantly atheist scientists, he seems to believe that he's completed defeated Christianity when all he has really done is attack the most conservative versions of it.
