One trucker claims to be a former satanist, so we should ignore
all the other truckers and the preacher who were there? Suddenly
those others are not average believers?
To Bill Maher, all religious believers are putting their faith in
the unproven. He shows some average people like the those at the
truck stop or at the "Holy Land Experience" alongside those who are
less orthodox. Why do any of them put their faith in things without
proof?
I hope you don't consider it being "slammed" if I merely disagree
with you.
