Well if I gave you any thought I probably would.

What is it called when someone has paranoid delusions that someone with paranoid delusions is out to get him? Whatever it is, Bill Maher has it in spades. This guy is seriously paranoid about paranoid Christians – or as he calls them, “nativist bedwetters” who wave signs on Tax Day and offer burnt sacrifices, I gather, to the most “Evil Dingbat,” Sarah Palin.
On Monday’s Tonight Show, Maher snarked about the dreaded Sunday School teachers, organists, moms in jumpers, and little girls in patent leather shoes who “control the national dialogue” and “perpetuate mass delusion” – through electromagnetic microwaves, I suppose, that shoot from church steeples to the implants in his brain.
Maher explained to Jay Leno that places of worship are where “people go to retell nonsense stories from a time before men understood what a germ or an atom was, or where the sun went at night.”
In other words, before “men” understood that a germ is a “masterpiece of miniaturized complexity that makes a spaceship or a super computer look low-tech” and what Richard Dawkins said contains a “digitally-coded database larger than all the volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica put together;” and that every night the sun manages to “go” to just the precise place that doesn’t turn us all into french fries or popsicles.
I think Maher was implying that the belief – most common among churchgoers – that those things couldn’t have popped into place by themselves, proves that believers are a threat to society.
“They try to telepathically communicate with their imaginary friend. These [churches] are places that fleece people and scare people and they perpetuate mass delusion. We shouldn’t build any of them.”

Sounds like hate speech. Just like when he used the n-word as a slur on Larry King this week.
Bill Maher, you need to sign off the air just like Dr. Laura.
So, is Mahr admitting that he is so weak minded he can be controlled by “incontinent, paunchy, racist church-goers”?
I think Bill’s gay.
Well, I fit the term "paunchy", so I'll have a go at this. I control him every day. I refuse to watch anything he's a part of. It just so happens to be called a remote control. So there, Bill Mahr. Whether you admit it or not, it's a fact.
Your post made my day. :)
Gay?
I dont’ know, didn’t he get it trouble with the law for beating up his girl-friend and few years ago?
“What is it called when someone has paranoid delusions that someone with paranoid delusions is out to get him?”
Paranoid projection.
Or, in this case, ‘stupid’.
I always suspected that someone incontinent lived in Bill Maher’s head. Never thought he’d come right out with it, though. Is it time to have him committed yet?
Sounds like a rabid anti-breeder metrosexual. He should talk to a psychoanalyst about that.
hey billlie.. so you are saying that you have a mind that is controlled by those you named? Hmmmm, we’re not controlled. We think for ourselves. Get control dude. Stop making a bigger ass of yourself than you already are.
So why doesn't he use the word "mosque" in place of "church" and stand firm in his opposition to a mosque at ground zero or anywhere else?
Crickets...
Maher is one of those once-enjoyable comedians/humorists who once entertained, but have become so egotistically left that they actually think that anyone gives a damn about their mean-spirited, paranoid fantasies and ramblings.
This happened to Roseanne Barr, Rose O’Donnell and some others whose names will quietly slip into the cesspool of useless history.
As noted, Dennis Miller presents a really good and well thought out rant, and the late comedian George Carlin also did a very funny one about golf courses. But in the end, they didn’t take themselves so seriously as to think that they had ascented Mt. Olympus and stood on an intellectually superior pedestal looking down upon us dumb peons and unwashed serfs.
Maher is a legend in his own mind. So are all the guys in insane asylums who think that they are Napoleon. The only difference between them is that they wear straitjackets and live in padded cells. Maher lives in luxury and probably LA/Hollyweird. Then again, that may not be so much of a difference as I once thought.
His mindset towards people who are not like him is colored by the blackness of heart that typifies those. Who do not believe in God but in themselves. He deserves our pity and needs our prayers.
GMTA, beat me by six seconds.
This is one sick person. Maher needs some serious psychiatric work.
