Hmmm, Spong has never been on Maher's show any of the times that I've
caught it.  Anyway, I interviewed Spong once, and while I agree with him
on *some* of his points (but certainly not all of them), I have to say
he's not particularly inclusive or rational when it comes to people who
disagree with him.  He tends to go overboard, I would argue.
