That was Hilarious! And appropriate. That stuff has been going around here lately where Sappy Simpletons have repeatedly bastardised the language and mangled reason by calling atheism and "Darwinism" (whatever that is--having been stripped of all sense by the Creationist Crazies) religious movements!! Like...if you DON'T believe in the supernatural, then...YOU DO!! Clear as mud! :-)

So Mr. Bill Maher has a lock on the rules of the Universe. Incredible human arrogance on his part. Even Darwin considered himself Agnostic. There may be multiple ruling entities within the Cosmos and given it's size there probably are very many.

John Lennox on the Definition of Faith "Faith is not a leap in the dark; it’s the exact opposite. It’s a commitment based on evidence… It is irrational to reduce all faith to blind faith and then subject it to ridicule. That provides a very anti-intellectual and convenient way of avoiding intelligent discussion.” - John Lennox

Atheism is obviously a religious belief.

"Atheism is NOT a religion" ...From Friday night's Real Time with Bill Maher : youtu.be That was so funny & really deserves a repost & here's the Power of Satire at its best ! Seemed to really strike a nerve in the knee-kissers which means they are dimly aware of some dim agitation in the lower medulla that there is something amiss . ( it will take alot of head scratching but they prolly will just go have another beer and more numbness ) This completely unhinges arguments posed by those that have so few real elements of defense now by demonizing science & atheism as "religion" , an overt admission they themselves acknowledge belief in absurdities is a first requirement of their own mantras . What can be a more futile approach & apex of irony to take than this especially when we get to witness the inevitable humbled back pedalling later on when the cries of "burn the witches" die down . Is there anything more inspiring than to see a good show of humility & penitence from a true believer as they return from the daily holy crusades of burning imaginary villages of strawmen & pillaging ranting attacks against reason ? Science & Atheism is a Religion and stupid just like US ! rotfl
