Bill Maher, space gods and schizophrenics

[additional-authors]
August 26, 2008

“You can’t be a rational person six days of the week and put on a suit and make rational decisions and go to work and, on one day of the week, go to a building and think you’re drinking the blood of a 2,000-year-old space god. That doesn’t make you a person of faith,” Bill Maher said this year on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” “That makes you a schizophrenic.”

I’m curious to hear what Maher says in his new documentary, “Religulous,” which opens Oct. 3. I’m en route this evening to see a screening of the film. Don’t expect a review, but I’ll let you know my thoughts.
