I don't think Bill Maher and I would be buddies. Maybe we would? I make a mean fried chicken. Maybe he'd be into that. But I'm not really a fan of his. I am always interested in people who are so avidly against what I believe in, part of me feels obligated to understand their position if I am ever going to hope they will understand mine. But I find it even hard to understand where he comes from at times. In practice I see him being guilty of a lot of the things he accuses Christians of being (arrogant close-mindedness as an example). But I have to admit that I agree with him on this (warning: foul language):
I could expand on this topic more I think I will let it speak for itself for now. While I'm not against having material possessions I think we're heading in a dangerous direction. Having things is not bad, but finding our identity in them and being driven by a constant desire for more is incredibly dangerous. Its a very strange new form of gluttony.
