Bill Maher Makes Documentary On Religion
Look, I'm sorry if this clip makes you feel bad about yourself, because that's not the point. It's the world we live in. If the shoe fits, wear it, and make your religious expression more sophisticated. If the shoe doesn't fit, I'm not intending to make it fit you. Not everything is about you.

I wrote that as a retort, but actually, it's very true. I would say that for most people, their religion IS all about them. They have a "personal relationship with ghod" which translates to "I think ghod likes me better than he likes you." Oddly, they ALL believe this. Go figure.
Me, I have my doubts. If there is a god, he's a lot more like the Trickster gods of Native American tradition than anything the Judeo-Christian mythos, or even the Egyptians or Greeks, have in their pantheon.
The movie should be interesting. I predict that every religion complains about it.
