Better than nothing

Rigor is synonymous with documentaries in my impression, and Bill Maher always gives me a taste of religious jokes, probably because he is a talk show host. Interviewing and raising sharp topics in a Christian church, I wish the big guy who was close to 300 pounds could beat him hard instead of leaving the church on his own. Looking at his rude face, the expression on his face when he speaks always makes me uncomfortable.
Religion is better than nothing. The Christians I know are generally very gentle and kind, even if we often encounter overzealous missionaries and feel disgusted. In the United States, which is a big country that believes in Christianity, it does take a lot of courage as a talk show host to make such a challenge to authority. I think if he continues to criticize Christianity, maybe one day there will be devout Christians who go into trouble and act irrationally, and can refer to similar incidents.
He always regards excesses as the reason for opposing religion. Excessive behavior is just a means for politicians to instigate believers to take risky actions as a means to achieve their own goals. This is not the fault of religion, but a problem of mankind.
The film mentions Christianity, Islam, Mormonism..., but as Asia's largest Buddhism, he doesn't mention it at all. Shanghai people call non-local people "out-of-towners", but you Westerners don't regard Buddhism as a religion at all, right? I think if he interviews the eminent monks of Buddhism, he may find that they are not on the same level at all. During the interview, he also interrupted the interviewee many times. When the interviewee tried to explain, he did not give time. He was rude to some interviewees.
Finally, "If there are people around you who are misogynistic, homophobic, and promote violence, then you should break with them, or you will become an accomplice." Everyone agrees with him.

A person who believes in Christ has his own constraints. When he does something bad or bad, his morality will restrain himself. I heard that during the scandal with Clinton and his secretary, he put his hand on the bible, and finally admitted that it happened and admitted that he was wrong. If it was me, I should not admit that I have no faith in my heart to bind me, and no God is watching me. If you were a GCD member, would you admit it?
