I like his show primarily because of the guests he brings on and the discussions he allows to take place. I thought his movie was a bit of a missed opportunity. I think he tried to emphasize his points by bringing on the craziest religious nutjobs he could find, but IMO it added nothing more than "haha look at how retarded those people are!" entertainment value.
I've never really understood what was so appealing about atheism? I mean, there might be some immediate impact, but what's the upside? If atheism were a draft pick, it'd be Tyler Hansbrough.
I would say it would be more akin to drafting Oden. Might be all you hoped for, might be a terrible pick, but you probably won't know for quite a while.
doesn't rule out deism obviously. so are a lot of die-hard theists. irrelevant. only when it comes to traditional religious fundamentalist versions of god. he does believe some sort of god exists. you could say he's no less than a deist, and possibly an agnostic theist.
My brother and his wife recently saw a Bill Maher show, and thought it was hilarious (except her taking offense to some sexist jokes). My brother said it was great though.
he's okay... I know where he's coming from and take his stuff with the necessary salt. His show is sometimes better then that dependent on the guest... the new rules segment is when I start looking at the menu for whats next STOMP
