Bill Maher’s Religulous

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CWiASiqDdU

In what appears to be a high profile response to Ben Stein’s Expelled, Bill Maher is coming out with a documentary called Religulous.  While I certainly dont agree with Bill Maher’s viewpoints regarding religion, I also dont blame him for spear-heading this reactionary movie.  Christians have a habit of fighting the wrong battles, and the effort behind the Expelled movie was certainly one of them.  Maher’s new movie is an example of what can happen when Christians are willing to die on a hill that in no way comes close to an essential of the faith.  After all, there are many God-fearing evangelical men and women who dont mind evolution being taught in schools.  My hope and prayer is that the Christian community’s response to this new video by Bill Maher is one of grace and humility, and not one that starts a whole new very vocal, very public battle of Christian vs. Atheist that serves no one’s best interest.

      THE SEMINARIAN WAGER
Everyone has faith. Regardless of how our faith developed, we should be willing to critically analyze those beliefs. While analyzing the validity of our faith, we should also be willing to analyze the validity of our doubts and cultural preconditions. If we are willing to do this, we wager that over time, the roots of our faith will strengthen toward truth, and will not be uprooted during challenging times. This site aims to provide worthwhile discussion regarding a critical evaluation of both religious belief and modern doubts.
