What are Bill Maher's beliefs?

2009-08-29 Thread dsummersmi...@comcast.net

I've got a question on Bill Maher and germ theory.  In various non-Rush
type forums (e.g. the atheist alliance) there were numerous references to
his favoring of alternative medicines.  The quotes I've gotten (including
the Letterman quote that his illness is due to being poisoned) are
consistent with his viewing that standard biology is wrong on germs, AIDs,
vaccines, etc.  

But, I haven't found a smoking gun.  Does anyone have anything conclusive
one way or the other on this?

Yes - it's the simple principle that not everyone is rational about  
everything in their lives. In Maher's case, he has a mammoth blind  
spot on biomedical science. I don't think it's irredemable in his case.

Did anyone see the show last night?  He interviewed Jay-Z and Bill
Moyers.  Moyers was very eloquent on health care.

Here are some quotes:
