A Priest: Bill Maher Talked To "Stupid People"

I've heard this argument before, that if Bill Maher had talked to "serious scholars" of the bible for his movie "Religulous" he'd have gotten intelligent answers. But here I am, investigating this very claim, listening to this serious scholar and child of God and he calls the average believers profiled in the movie "stupid". Very Christ-like, that one. He actually claims there may be only one intelligent person in the movie - and that's a scientist.

Not a word about who left the believers stupid (presumably their spiritual leaders) after a lifetime of belief and/or bible study. But what can we expect from a guy who, in the end, makes no sense as he goes on trying to explain how the bible can be true - "in a theological sense" - in our present age of scientific knowledge.

I haven't seen "Religulous" yet, for what I think is the same reason many people who have seen it seem turned off by it: it features Bill Maher. He's a cynical, and only intermittently funny, person; who I've heard, unapologetically, defending quackery (and his politics are just weird) so who is he to be leading the fight for intelligence or what should be considered reasonable thought?

Hell, in many cases, Bill Maher makes about as much sense as this guy. Which ain't much.
