After doing some research on judgment day I cam across a clip from Bill Maher’s Religulous. This documentary focused on the view that all religions were crazy, and that those who believed in them were irrational people. While this view may seem extreme, Bill Maher does his best to prove it through the example of ‘judgment day’. This is the idea where all those who have followed God, will ultimately be saved by him when the world comes to an end. This is why it is so important for Christians to follow the word of God. The idea that the world will end of course seems rather extreme; this extremity of this idea though, is not the problem. People are allowed to believe whatever comforts them, however Maher talks about how many of the people who have control over this world believe that the world will end, this is the problem that Maher is trying to get across. This example is illustrated with George W. Bush, who has a strong Christian faith. When people like George W. Bush have the ability to start wars and cause chaos on earth, the idea of end times is questioned. As people feel that this chaos is a sign that the end times are near. By also following the example of George W. Bush Maher also talks about how people follow these politicians because of their faith. By following politicians simply because of their beliefs we see how crazy idea, like the rapture are reinforced in our culture. Although Bill Maher makes some extreme points on religion, his arguments of Christians and end times seems to illustrate the absurdity and danger of the idea.
