Religulous


tumblr mgfncrihvV1qg9t56o1 500 by ~karlarei2003

So, I've always wanted to watch "Religulous" but, as I live in the south, I never had a chance to see it. I'm only like 10 minutes into it, so I'll most likely have more on it tomorrow, but I'm already horribly uncomfortable. Now, I've always really liked Bill Maher; I like people who ask questions (leave me alone. I likes who I likes) and my unease is actually more to do with the people he's asking the questions to. I'm having the same kind of fear watching Bill Maher try to ask, what I think are, really honest questions.

Do you guys remember that episode of Top Gear where Jeremy, Richard and James went through the deep south (like the deep deep south) with things like "Hillary for President" and "Man-love rules OK"(my personal favorite)prominently displayed all over their cars?

Now, I really thought that I was about to witness a murder of, at the very least, one of these guys and their camera crew.

I wouldn't put it past the BBC as I've seen detrimental episodes than that on a regular basis. (Doctor Who: End of Time - Part 2; Britain on that day, we all hated you.)

So, yeah it's that sort of uneasiness. I know Mr. Maher lives through this, as I have watched his stand-up since this movie was made, but I find myself wanting to cover my eyes in anticipation of some hick sucker-punching him in the face. I really hope that doesn't happen. I actually really like it so far.


Wal-Mart Brawl

-That never actually happened-


So, I'm standing in line, minding my own business, when I notice the man standing beside me in the other cashier line. I actually did a natural double-take (rare in the wild) and realized my eyes were not playing tricks on me. This man looked exactly like Wilfred Mott (Bernard Cribbins).

You have no idea how hard it was for me to stand there and not attack this man. Well, I mean the "character" Wilfred Mott--not the actor. I actually really like the actor BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.


Wow, my grammar is more horrible that my last journal entry...Well, it IS 2:30 in the morning. However, if you read my journals for their immaculate grammar you need to turn off your computer and call 911 because you are having a hallucination.

That is all.

I like some of Maher standup, but I actually took some issue with Religilous. He said doubt was good, people should show some doubt about things (which I agree with), but then he turns around & says 'I know for sure God doesn't exist.' And I'm thinking 'But you just said doubt was a good thing! How can you say that then turn around and say with certainty that God doesn't exist?!' His hypocrisy bothered me

Wait, when did he say that? He was sitting and talking to his mom and she says something along the lines of, "Well, it's not that I don't believe, I just don't know." and then he agrees and say that's the way he is, too.

Hmm, I must watch it again to see if I can find where you're talking about. (totally not looking for an excuse to watch it again, btw)

I was paraphrasing a bit, but that was the gist of what he was saying. (or maybe he did say he's certain about God not existing, but it was in something else? That's possible - I've seen/read enough of his stuff where it's possible I'm mixing things up)
