The Dude

What the hell is there to lie about? Hell, using Fahrenheit 9/11 as an example, he cites his sources in the companion novel. Kinda hard to lie about the Bin Ladin family flying out of here post 9/11 (when all other planes are grounded) when there are records proving it. Hard to lie about the Bush family's ties with the Saudis when it's already well known. Hard to lie about Bush's associated with James R Bath, when it's right there in his records.

And he doesn't think he's God.

And he doesn't hate America (I know that wasn't stated, but I've heard it before), he just hates what the current administration has done (like many of us).

That's a lot of hate for a man who states facts and inserts satire into the mix.

When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
Luke 21:20-28
