Bill Maher quotes

We are a nation that is unenlightened because of religion. I do believe that. I think religion stops people from thinking. I think it justified crazies.

Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me - I quit.'

Women cannot complain about men anymore until they start getting better taste in them.

If you think you have it tough, read history books.

To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So, you know, I think as far as our country goes, we need more people who will do that.

I think capital punishment works great. Every killer you kill never kills again.

Religion, to me, is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don't need.

Everything that used to be a sin is now a disease.
