Disorder, Are Crazy</STRONG></FONT>
<P><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>Dear J.
Eiland, </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>
<P>Bill Maher, host of HBO's <I>Real Time With Bill Maher</I>, says
that all Christians are crazy and are unenlightened because of their
faith. Maher made the comments on MSNBC's <I>Scarborough
Country</I>. <BR><BR>Maher said: "We are a nation that is
unenlightened because of religion…I think that religion stops people
from thinking. I think it justifies crazies. I think that flying
planes in a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion
is a neurological disorder. If you look at it logically, it's
something that was drilled into your head when you were a small
child."<BR><BR>"When you look at belief in such things--as do you go
to heaven, is there a devil--we have more in common with (Muslin
countries) Turkey and Iran and Syria than we do with European
nations and Canada and nations that, yes, I would consider more
enlightened that us."<BR><BR>Maher said he wasn't speaking only of
evangelicals, but included all religious people. He said he agreed
with Jesse Ventura "who had that quote about religion is a crutch
for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers."<BR><BR>Because
of their neurological disorder, he said Christians "do not believe
in science and rationality." He went on to say the future does not
belong to religion. One recalls the famous quote from the Beatles in
the 60's that they "were more popular than Jesus."<BR><BR>According
to Maher, the Bible is a book of fairy tales, calling the account of
Jonah a fairy tale the same as <I>Jack in the
Beanstalk</I>.<BR><BR>Had Maher said such things about homosexuals,
he would have been immediately fired. But because he was speaking of
Christians, his bigotry was acceptable to HBO, owned by Time Warner
Inc.<BR><BR>TAKE ACTION<BR><BR>Send Mr. Maher an email saying you
regret he has such a low view of Christians, and will pray that he
be "enlightened" as to the true nature of Christianity. Explain to
him that Christians appreciate the good science does and most
Christians are rational individuals. </P>
