Chops Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Bill Maher is apparently making a movie mocking religion called "Religulous." It seems to be quite amusing indeed. The trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB8fPJ6zds8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Radiaki Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Bill Maher is apparently making a movie mocking religion called "Religulous." It seems to be quite amusing indeed. The trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB8fPJ6zds8 Funny? Most likely. Useful? Probably not. While Christianity is deeply flawed, it does provide an internally consistent philosophy to many misguided people. What can Bill offer as an alternative? Nothing but the usual scorn and derision, I'm sure. Philosophy: Who needs it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mammon Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Funny? Most likely. Useful? Probably not. While Christianity is deeply flawed, it does provide an internally consistent philosophy to many misguided people. Yep, and guides them straight into a life of immorality on almost every level. Plus, the film seems to be attacking all religions, not just Christianity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'll probably see the movie for the laughs (like Borat), but I'm not a fan of Bill Maher. In this interview he says we need "a person of doubt" in the White House (as opposed to a person of faith). He also says Michael Moore is a genius. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRO-LVi1FKU&NR=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wotan Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Knock 'em dead, Bill! I can't wait. The only proper thing to say here is: God bless Bill Maher! Funny? Most likely. Useful? Probably not. There are two ways to kill a false and evil idea, Dr. Radiaki: heavy argumentation and light mockery. In other words: refutation and laughter. We need both! And Maher's documentary is probably gonna be pretty good at the latter. It'll probably make it harder for people to take religion seriously. That's a victory for truth and reason!

KevinDW78 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Give me a break. The only people interested in even seeing this movie are going to be people who already don't believe in religion. You honestly mean to tell me that you think some religious person will watch this and have their views on religion drastically altered? Not gonna happen.
