TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Unfortunately he didn't add any new info if you've already seen some of his other interviews - e.g. Maddow.

Yeah, it's only 849 pm here, so I'll watch it and compare to his Maher interview.  Maher's interested in this because of his fixation with religion.

On Maher: I used to have very much a "live and let live" attitude towards religions and the people who uphold them. But recently I've found myself agreeing more with Maher on the "fuck religion, it's stupid, and it's going to get us all killed if we don't grow out of it" side of the fence.

The Family is a case in point - I don't claim to know the answers, but I'm pretty sure it looks nothing like their vision.

He has a point.  I have to say I wasn't turned off by "Religulous" as much as some on here have been...I hated the ending, it was a little too self-congratulatory, even for MAHER, for me.  But I think his show's been getting better since it started on HBO.  I was kinda "meh" about it at first, but then I noticed how on-point he's been since Obama came upon the scene.  I like that.  We do need the court jesters to not give up now that "their boy"'s in office.  It's refreshing after the rabid rumor-mongering of the Fux News crews and the rim-jobbing of the (P)MSNBC folks.
