I think of Bill Maher as an entertainer who provides a platform for interesting guests, not as a dispenser of wisdom. I think he is an egoist and a fool; a fool for mocking people's religious beliefs, and a bigger fool for mocking God. The level of his argument is similar to that around the lunch table in my college cafeteria; odd that he has failed to advance from there by this point in his life. He says he is agnostic, but he talks like an atheist. I don't plan to see his movie, not because I disagree with the premise that religion has no proper place in the political debate, but because I wouldn't want to be subjected to his usual blasphemous "humor."
