He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him. |
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him. |
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; wake him. |
He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man; follow him. |
I think the first case applies to Bill Maher but in a morbid case because he is convinced that he knows and really pushes his ignorance to new lows in complete oblivion and haughtiness

The center question of the conversation, with Maher defining it, was whether non-atheists were delusional– a topic that came up after Cupp admitted that she suspected President Barack Obamawas an atheist, too. Maher argued that religion was the cause of “all wars,” in which he included communism, “a state religion.” Avlon offered that the term “religion” for what Maher was attacking was wrong– it was “absolutism, ideology, and extremism” that were behind the forces Maher was citing. Booker took it a step further, telling Maher “in your atheism, you are just as dogmatic and intolerant as any preacher.”
After an extensive back-and-forth in which Maher declared himself the only person on TV attacking religion and Cupp gave him several examples of liberal figures opposing religious practices, Maher kept it topical by asking everyone, “let’s move on to Stephen Baldwin.”
