I lost all respect for Maher when he was discussing population growth on an episode of PI with Adam West in the panel.
Maher was going on about how the world was going to have eleventy jillion people by 2010, and we were all going to starve to death*, and West pointed out that the UN had recently released numbers, in which the upper bound suggested that, at the then-current rate of growth, the population would top out at 11 billion at approximately 2150. Maher flew into a frothing rage, accusing West of being stupid and uninformed (when he was the one quoting actual researched numbers).
Don’t mess with Batman when he’s prepared!
I live in one of the biggest markets in the States yet there are only two places I can go see ‘Religulous’.
Both of which I’ve never really heard of.
Yeah, pisses me off, too, but doesn’t surprise me considering there’s a church every fourth block and a mega church every fifty miles. The Angelika theaters are nice. The downtown one is right off the DART station. The one in Plano is smaller, but I like it better. Here’s the website. They usually run indie films.
Atheists who aren’t happy with Bill Maher as a spokesman? Settle down. He’s not an atheist and said as much on a recent Daily Show.
I’m an atheist, and I don’t even want a spokesman. But I’m fine with what Bill Maher says about religion, even if he does call himself an agnostic.
I will use this as an example when I try to convince my kids that West is not as clueless as he plays on Family Guy.
You don’t want to point out that he was “Batman!”? Or that he did softcore porn? (Lady Chatterly’s Lover 2 )

Yeah, isn’t that part of the attraction? We don’t need a spokeperson.

I’m agnostic, leaning towards atheist, but there is no fucking way that I’m going to watch some retard who thinks that Western medicine is poisoning the world as he smugly pretends to be smart for 90 minutes.
…the other 10 being him chanting “Gosh-un-gah-hoo, Gosh-un-gah-hoo, now you are one of us, now you are one of us…!”
