I just watched the movie Religulous with Bill Maher’s.
The movie really is funny and made me laugh a lot.

"Do you actually believe in talking snakes?!"

"Jonas didn't really live in a whale for 3 days. It was a big fish. Therefore since it was a fish instead of a whale it makes it so much more believeable."

However the movie does have it's very serious side.

Maher’s ultimate message is simple: Abandon religion… or we’ll all die.

In the clip that follows, Maher lays out the foundation of this statement. Here are a few choice quotes which I believe pretty much sum things up:

“If one believes that the world is going to come to an end, does it not drain one’s motivation to improve life while we’re here?”

“Religion must die for man to live.”

“Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking.”

“Those who preach faith and enable and elevate it are intellectual slaveholders.”

“Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings, who don’t have all the answers, to think they do.”

“The only attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt.”

“The solace and comfort that religion brings you, actually comes at a terrible price.”

I learned a lot from the movie. Did not know that the Mormons had baptized Hiltler to make sure he gets into heaven. What about Mussolini?!
