He didn't die for anything. He tried to shoot his way out of the Carthradge jail with a smuggled pistol. He was in jail for destroying a printing press of a newspaper that exposed him for having multiple wives.
On the contrary, I put it up (in a matter of minutes, not hours) because it's hilarious and I thought like-minded individuals would also enjoy it. Judging from the other comments, I was right. You are the only commenter that hates it. I understand; it's frightening for any religious person to have facts thrust at them. Now go away and find a video by someone that shares your delusions.
You seem blissfully unaware that Christianity is a cult too; but of course there are none so deluded as cult members. As Bill says in the video - "Religion itself is a con. It's a con you play on your own mind."
How do you maintain faith in Joseph Smith, considering that he claimed to translate Egyptian, but his translation was completely wrong. Egyptologists have examined the papyrus from which he "translated" the Book of Abraham, and have found that it doesn't have anything to do with Abraham. Also, not only is the text of the Book of Abraham wrong, but Smith MISidentified all the figures in the facsimiles. For example labelling Annubis as the evil priest "Elekenah."
Well, lets see here, Scott. The Bible says we should not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. John warned men against messing with his Book of Revelation, but he didn't prohibit Christ, his Master, from speaking further words.
I found it difficult to read your post, as it was so poorly written. Were you home schooled? However, insulting someone for their beliefs is not wrong or immoral. Having the right to hold a belief does not mean you have the right to have that belief automatically respected, religious or otherwise. If you believe ridiculous nonsense (probably for no other reason than that your parents believe it), you will be ridiculed.
bill is the last man i would talk to about religion. he hates religion. he obviously knows nothing about Joseph Smith. That's cool he can talk about something he knows NOTHING about. good job bill.
the 'mythology' of our church is not that different from most christian religions. Im sorry you got confused. mrwest, how would you know more on my religion than me, who actually goes to it? ladyeowen, no, I dont. insulting anyone for their beliefs is wrong and immoral. sugamoto, do you actually know? travelandcruising, yeah, it does hurt to believe in something true, while everyone misinterprets and hurts you for it. decembers, just no. yes, bible was yours first, but we dont believe that.
you are incorrect my friend the only truth is the Word of God, its not about cult or religion its about relationship. And it not played in your own mind its about revelation, the bible said's to cast down every thought. People go the cult way because they want followers and the worship Jesus rebuked this years ago. Obey Acts 2:38 Have your Sins forgiven
Bill always wrecks it! He makes sense. It's sad a lot of society just can't grasp it. It's scary.
Is this guy not brutally honest? And funny! I love it. I am now a fan a Bill Maher!

"It's like the common sense conservative version of when -"
The truth hurts.
More more! Love you Bill!
You have my deepest sympathies.
penn jilette's laugh: you may not get bill maher's joke at first, but penn's laugh is funny
This is the greatest commentary on religion ever....

Fantastic rant

You mentioned Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise's religion is Scientology

When I was a young boy I heard of LDS for the first time and I called it "the moron church."
I love this guy... so funny
not bad people, but terribly misguided
+Darryl Smyers Sometimes they are horrible people, especially to gay children.

So you are saying that its totally fine to sit on youtube for hours putting up crap about what people believe just to get people to hate it?
