Who is “Religulous"?

On the occasion of the release of Bill Maher’s movie, “Religulous”, on DVD

15-Feb-2009 (12 comments)
Bill Maher is clearly uninterested in engaging authorities on religion. No cameos of Houston Smith or Karen Armstrong here. Instead, he targets the humble and the unsuspecting: a lay pastor of a store-front church with folding chairs, an Imam in a mosque under construction in Amsterdam, and a peacenik Rabbi in a cramped Brooklyn synagogue. He then goes on to badger them with irreverent questions and clever asides. You can’t help but feel for these folks who have been framed—in both senses of the term—as ignorant fanatics. One must have a twinge of sympathy even for the Christian fundamentalist senator whose verbal gaffes Mahr flashes across the screen lest the viewers miss the extent of his ignorance>>>

Somewhere in the night
The moon in the gutter
The magic flute
Wings of desire
Heart like a wheel
A man and a woman
Made for each other
Falling in love. >>>
