Maher vs. Mormons
Bill Maher's feature-length rant against religion, "Religulous," opens nationwide on Friday - and the comedian includes some choice words on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The segment begins with Maher and his film crew getting booted from LDS church property by "Mormon Fuzz" - big guys in Mr. Mac suits who look like they might have been on BYU's defensive line earlier in life.

It ends four minutes later with images mocking LDS tenets - the funniest is when he discusses the belief that American Indians are a lost tribe of Israel, which is accompanied by a clip of Mel Brooks wearing an Indian headdress in "Blazing Saddles."

Here are more details of Maher's comments on Mormons - along with my review of the movie.
