Re: 7 Times Bill Maher Offended Your Idiotic Beliefs I like Maher a lot until it comes to two subjects, religion and women, some of the time. I can't get worked up if persons think they are going to a place of nirvana and will meet up with their family and all will be forgiven, I don't see that as a problem yet Maher gets incredibly worked up. Religion becomes a problem when it hurts people, whether physically or mentally. Religion becomes a problem when you deny yourself healthcare, alienate your family and friends and when it effects govt., religion is not a problem cause some people think they are going to a better place, so what?
Re: 7 Times Bill Maher Offended Your Idiotic Beliefs Bill Maher is an ass.
He may make some valid points at times, but he's still an ass.
But then sometimes being an ass can make you rich.

Re: 7 Times Bill Maher Offended Your Idiotic Beliefs We've come to an age where we have op-ed's on cable news and comedians that have become a big part of it. I rarely miss Colbert, I think he is brilliant. I also remember Letterman and his Clinton routines, even made my jaw drop, how they kept coming on his show after his routines that went on for years, is beyond me, I guessed it means politicians will do anything to get on air.

I don't have a problem with his criticism of religion. He has made some good points about it and stood up to the politically correct crowd who object to his criticism of Islam, a religion that generates a lot of problems.
He has seemed to be a bit sexist at times. Once I suggested to him that he have some female experts on his show to talk about their personal knowledge of their work and he said that there wasn't anything they could tell him that he didn't already know. That was pretty condescending. He certainly is a very egotistical guy.

He is not kind to any religion, if it is a problem, I get it, just believing in Heaven isn't enough to be so mean. Sexist, I've got the feeling for all that he touts being pro women, his objective is how many women can I have sex with and not get tied up into some type of black widows web.
Re: 7 Times Bill Maher Offended Your Idiotic Beliefs He's a smug jerk. Just look at his smug face. Can you imagine him ever really connecting with another person? He seems to me to be really damaged.
