Anyone seen Bill Maher's Religulous

[200 miles]

that's the only part i liked about it too... i used to like bill maher's show that was on regular tv when i was like in high school but i've grown tired of that dude. i'm not religious at all and i found the film to be nothing more then a way to scrutinize and humiliate these people to their face without hearing their stance on the matter and if you take that view then you're no different then the fundamentalists who judge us all daily. it's the same freakin' thing!

bill maher is washed up just like earl boykins. haha.

ps: similar bs to michael moore's films. you gotta be objective and not so damn biased.

Exactly. Who is he to question and judge other people's beliefs (if any belief for that matter) and say what he thinks, goes? Just like you said, it would be like Maher as an evangelist questioning and judging atheists.

This world has a long, long way to go to acheive complete tolerance.

Another thing, I thought Maher looked awfully pathetic by desperately promoting his do entary while pouting that his work was not nominated at all during the Oscar ceremony.

Maher spoke to some people that were easy targets, but he also spoke & travelled to a lot of the great locations in religion. No one stumped him, but you could see people being frustrated by his questions and the logic behind them.

I expected the film to be funnier, but it was definitly interesting. Maher brought up tons of points that I challenge people here to answer since he couldn't find any.

Virgin birth? No mention in the Old Testament (only in the King James' version of the Bible, the version written specifically for the Church or England)

Original Sin in the Bible?

Jesus never mentioning sexuality?

The stories of Jesus by people who never met him?

Jonas in the a 'big fish' for three days?

A talking snake?

Abraham killing his son b/c God told him yet calling a woman, who did the same thing today, "crazy"?

The Jesus storying mirroring the older story of Horus?

Ive talked to atheists with questions that were MUCH more difficult to answer than the questions that Maher had.....

is there even one mention of another religion's beliefs? This is an attack on christianity, not the religious.

for the record, I could make a MiamiHeat's version of Religulous 100000 times better than that crap Maher made.

Oh yeah, he went after Islam, Mormons, Jewish community, even a church in Amsterdam that uses the marijuana leaf as their church's symbol.

Roger Ebert made the prefect comment: Funny and interesting film, until he talks about faith.

I saw this last night and was pretty disappointed and I'm a Maher fan.

Like stated above he pretty much attacked the ignorant. There was very little quality information being tossed around it was pretty much just Maher making people look stupid while talking over them like Bill O'Reilly. No real solid debating took place it was just a one sided assault that ultimately led nowhere.

Haven't seen the movie, but that is what it seems like from the list of people he interviewed off Wiki. Nobody on that list seems to be serious. Like picking on a re .
