now do not get me wrong . if you need an insightful summary of everything that be wrong with the history of human civilization as well a a flawless path to brighter future for mankind and who better to turn to than a comedian and practitioner of pop culture . if you need a healthy dose of all the solid and sound reason why religion have outlive it usefulness then turn to sagan or dawkins and not bill maher for god ( . ) sake . that a good point in and of itself . maher dismiss our religious past a a neurological disorder conveniently ignore how his entire society and art and science be root in it . in this film and he rely heavily on his keenly hone skill set of irony and cynicism to make his point while attempt to appear erudite and wise . unfortunately and his intellect isn not up to the task . maher make u laugh but be clearly not the bright bulb in the box . a an example and he respond to an interviewee ( and i use the term loosely a they be clearly all ambushees ) assertion that the existence of jesus be historical fact with a deadpan no and it not follow by a long stare meant to convey contempt at the subject naivety ( a device nauseatingly overuse in this film ) . the problem be that the person be correct and maher dead wrong in his assertion that jesus be mention only in what he consider to be the historically suspect gospel . i guess mr. maher have never read the contemporary historian josephus . but the mass will flock to this pseudo documentary a they do the fictional work of other intellectual giant like michael moore and and they will loudly bray and guffaw ( they certainly do at my show ) . it doubly tell and however and that the loud and most mule like bray occur during the approximately 70 % of the running time that the film devote to it anti christian tirade while the audience be wholly mute during the token 10 % devote to criticize the self describe religion of peace . hmmm . either criticism of islam be off limit to the hip and liberal target audience or they be just afraid to laugh . very telling and either way .
