I don't think I've ever agreed with anyone on tv as much as I do him. It's scary because I consider my self religious which is the pole opposite of him lol. Do any of you watch his show?

He makes a lot of good points, but he tends to think he's always right. He has good guest to balance it out though.
His religious rants are annoying, only because he forces his beliefs down people's throats, much like those he disagrees with.

He's a pompous and unfunny blowhard hack. And his show is damn near unwatchable because it's just a lefty circle-jerk, for the most part.

I think he's great. smart, funny, and is just about fearless in his approach
i think his show is great too and while i don't agree with his religious beliefs, everyone is entitled to believe in what they want don't you agree?

he can be a self righteous jerk. but i'm ok with him cause it's only him, jon stewart and (no longer keith olbermann) versus the rush limbaughs, bill o'reillys, glenn becks, and the rest of the fox news hacks.
edit: i forgot to give him points cause he luvvvs him some black women.

I enjoyed Religulous, but I don't really follow him.

How is Bill Maher forcing his beliefs down people's throats??? I really wanna see a cogent answer to this one.
He has a talk show on basic cable. If you don't like what he says, you can just change the channel.
When we talk about religious people forcing their beliefs down our throats, we're talking about the ones that try to legislate laws in accord with their beliefs. We're talking about the ones trying to get Creationism taught in public schools. We're talking about the ones trying to take away women's rights. We're talking about the ones preaching on street corners like hypocrites.
You don't like religion threads on NT? don't enter them. easy as pie.

hes a comedian with a television show and hes a liberal. What do you expect?

I'm liberal also but he sounds like a douche most of the time.
I understand he's an atheist but his need to attack religion at every chance is annoying. I don't care about his religious agenda. It is his show so he has a right to do it.
On a sidenote, when I used to go to church the priest was talking about how much of a jerk that maher is

He's one of the greatest. I'm a Christian but can still appreciate his differing viewpoints, even though I can respectfully disagree. On every other point, though, I am pretty much aligned with his political views. He's arrogant, cocky, and stubborn, but that's why he's interesting to watch. It's educational, but it's also entertainment.

huge fan of his as well, real time is part of my weekly hbo lineup of shows i watch religiously (pun intended). Remember watching his show politically incorrect when I was younger on abc (?) way before i knew what they were talkin about.
I also find myself agreeing to a lot of his views as well, he has very strong opinions and is often mislabeled as a liberal version of glen beck or o''riley, which is unfair because above all he's a comedian first and a political pundit second. He's not the funniest comedian in my book but I like his sharp witty remarks and always feel like I'm sticking it to the man by watching his show.
One thing I respect about the man is he fights fire with fire. You hear a lot of this conservative rhetoric these days, particularly from the tea baggers , and he pretty much uses those same tactics to prove his point.

I watch the show weekly and I'm not talking about my throat. I can dig up clips to support what I said, for instance, he had Cornel West on once and pretty much told him that he was wrong because he had different religious views than Maher. But I'm not going to get trolled into an argument or debate after I clearly said I like him and the fact that he has guest that balance him out. Some of you need to work on your skimming...

Goes for you too. Try reading, it's fundamental.
