    Thou Shall Not Watch Bill should be added to the Ten Commandments

    I am a Christian and I have mixed emotions when watching Real Time and I intend to see Bill's movie. However, the irrational (a/k/a religious) side of me says "Oh Bill, you are so going to hell." But then the other side of me, the rational (a/k/a spiritual) side, says that he is a biggot towards Christians and is doing exactly the same thing he accuses Christians of doing. He contradicts his own point of view. For me, that is the sum of Bill Maher. Watching him is like passing by a terrible car accident, its interesting and hopeful and tragic and provoking...but I go on my way glad I was not responsible for the accident.
