he asked a lot of questions but they were largely rhetorical in nature. He also spent a lot of time just saying "that's nuts." I did think there were some very funny moments due to some clever editing. But this piece totally lacks meat and Bill Mahr makes the mistake of attributing ceetitude with religion. The same levels of certitude can be found in some atheists as well. Just look at Communist China and the former Soviet Union. I think he starts out with a very good question, why do people believe irrational things (religion). Why is faith a legitimate reason for belief and why is it a good thing. But he really does drop the ball right after the great premise. But I did have some good laughs. Mormons and Evangelicals speaking in tongues make for easy targets.
