That was an excellent one.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Two groups support anti religion materials in west media 1. East dictators that don't want military intervention in their countries to stop their bloodshed. So they should kill consciousness in west. 2. Those who think, it is good for Science. I tell them My bully dumb & godless brother ruin my life. Two innovation (one of them could stop med. malpractice) will be buried with me (cancer in a third world country) stronger brain means smaller muscle
I really enjoyed this. Maher says at the beginning that it's all about doubt but by the end it's very clear his position on religion. I didn't know there was a Jesusland in FL. Scary. I also found it quite humorous how most people didn't get that he was making fun of them. The reformed gay? Seriously? I'm guessing he was never gay to begin with. It's not a disease people, seriously! I loved this; religious zealots may not. Recommended.
How did I never heard about this gem before? A friend that knows I am a convinced atheist told me I had to watch this and that I would like it. 8 years after the making of Religulous I finally had someone that told me about it and oh was I pleased! I literally had a smile on my face from beginning till the end. Bill Maher asks the perfect questions to the believers of any stupid religion and their answers are just hilarious. The fact that you can see that they know they are wrong, when Bill Maher replies to their answers with a silly but true answer or question is just hilarious. This is by far the best documentary I ever saw on any subject. It's not about getting a proof about the existence of a God, but just the opposite. It's about making the people see they are scammed since centuries and they continue being scammed now. Most of them actually know it but are just too afraid of death you could make them make believe whatever you want. Some are just eternal idiots that will never change their mind about religions, but those are also not the smartest puppy out of the litter let's say. If you are like me a convinced atheist you will adore this movie. If you are a believer of whatever religion, you will be or ashamed you ever believed in those nonsenses, or it will open your eyes and you will change your mind, or you will be scandalized and will continue being a dumb sheep of society.
What do you get when you debate people that know little to nothing about the position they are defending? This movie. It's like watching someone beating up children. Does Bill interview theologians, professors, apologists, or any leading scholars in faith? No, he picks on idiots. (Ken Hamm is NOT a leading Christian scholar.) This is called a Strawman fallacy. Congratulations Bill. You defended Atheism by debating truckers. Impressive. Now, in fairness one could argue that his point is that the average person of faith doesn't know much about their faith. I would agree that this is often the case for religion, as well as in Atheism, politics, cooking and so on. However this doesn't prove a religion wrong. It only proves that many people don't bother to educate themselves on the issues to which they ascribe. I feel that this film is deliberately deceptive and manipulative.
