I am appreciating your response. I have watched Maher for years. He keeps me on my toes. (Such a corny expression, but so be it.) On most things, I agree with him. On most things, even if I don't agree, I laugh or at least "get it" and think further, on myriad topics. I know my own sense of spirituality and religion and everything thereof, and my own ain't typical. I don't always lean toward how far Maher goes in yanking on religion/spirituality, but I know where he comes from, and I rarely (count on one hand) take it offensively.
My perhaps less-than-level-headed response prior to yours was specifically directed to O'Hehir's comment about our having a Muslim candidate, which I didn't think rose to Maher's level of irony or satire, or, if I daresay, his beliefs, thus the O'Hehir comment failed, to me, miserably.
