Religulous Page #2

Synopsis: Bill Maher interviews some of religion's oddest adherents. Muslims, Jews and Christians of many kinds pass before his jaundiced eye. Maher goes to a Creationist Museum in Kentucky, which shows that dinosaurs and people lived at the same time 5000 years ago. He talks to truckers at a Truckers' Chapel. (Sign outside: "Jesus love you.") He goes to a theme park called Holy Land in Florida. He speaks to a rabbi in league with Holocaust deniers. He talks to a Muslim musician who preaches hatred of Jews. Maher finds the unlikeliest of believers and, in a certain Vatican priest, he even finds an unlikely skeptic.

by many things

that are in Christianity

that are not in the Bible?

Like original sin.

Immaculate conception.

The virgin birth is only

in two of the Gospels... popes.

Are you worried that these things

came not from the founders,

the people that wrote

this book, but from...

and this is indisputable...

but from men,

from human beings

who came after?

And when I say men,

I mean people with penises.

If you wanna go back

to scientific proof,

I think it was determined

the shroud or whatever that was

went around a while back...

I didn't get involved.

- Shroud of Turin?

- They took blood samples from it,

and it was female blood

with a male figure.

Okay, the only possible way

that could happen was

that the Holy Ghost

impregnated Mary

because it would've

been female blood

because it would've been

the only blood flowing through her.

- It's a faith thing.

- But why is faith good?

Why is believing something

without evidence good?

I don't like the way

this thing's going.

I don't know what

this documentary's supposed to be,

but I don't like

where you're going.

You start disputing my God,

and you got a problem.

I don't know what you...

I'm outta here. You do what

you wanna do, but I'm outta here.

- I'm just asking questions.

- Okay, no problem.

When I've seen what I've seen,

I know there's a God.

You can't change my mind.

Nobody can change my mind.

I walked for 30 years

as a Satanist priest.

From the time I grew up,

I was in Satanism.

For the last six years,

that I was into Satanism,

I was a Satanist priest, okay?

- Real Satanism?

- Yes, real Satanism.

Being addicted to drugs,

and running prostitutes

and the women

and everything that goes with that.

I walked around with rolls

of money in my pocket.

I gave all that up

when I got saved.

When the guy said,

"Yeah, I used to do drugs.

I used to have women,"

and I'm thinking,

- "And your problem was?"

- Right.

Let me ask you this question:

What if we're right

and you're wrong?

We gonna make it

and you ain't.

If you're being good

just to save your ass

just because,

"Ooh, they might be right

and I just want

to double down here

and make sure that

when I get up to the pearly gates,

that St. Peter doesn't say to me,

'Sorry, a**hole,

you had the wrong religion.

Enjoy Hell, buh-bye."'

That's not a good reason,

and you know that.

Come on, believe in Jesus.

What do you have to lose?

It's like the lotto.

You can't get saved

if you don't play.

Yeah, you could be right.

I don't think it's very likely,

but, yes, you could be right,

because my big thing is I don't know.

That's what I preach.

I preach the gospel

of I don't know!
