Bill Maher's Anti-Religion Movie

[big L dawg]

Freedom of speech allows Maher to make a dumb movie and allows me to call his movie a dumb movie.  I probably will not watch it.  I prefer to be entertained when watching movies and avoid political movies (whatever their slant). 

most bible beaters will avoid the movie.majority of them iv met actually get offended by others views that differ from there own.

If by "bible beaters" you mean Christians, I have to say your experience is very different from mine.  I know lots of Christians and they don't get offended by a contrary viewpoint.  In fact, most if not all of the Christians who post on this board don't get offended by different views.

With the exception of my grandparents, believers in that shit are idiots.

And, most of the "me-hate-religion" crowd will avoid "Fireproof". What's your point?

actually I plan on seeing it even though it looks like a low budget B movie...like them left behind movies Iv watched as well.you would think that all the money the church takes in they could make a huge blockbuster like the batman or titanic movie.

how come when I put mine up it doesnt show the screen like your?what am I doing wrong

I didn't read true the thread. Religions are only created to be a system that keeps the "elite" in control, and the masses, the people, dumb, and living in fear. All religions are falls believes. If you could travel 2000 years in the past to Bethlehem and Jerusalem, you will not find Jesus Christ, because he didn't exist. His story is for example copied from the story of Horus, the Egyptian sun-God. The story of Abraham is also copied from another ancient myth. It's all mythology. Quite entertaining, don't you think?

The fact that I despise religion, doesn't make me an atheist. When the body dies, spirit lives. Consciousness doesn't end there, and it never will.

The Christian believe-system, for example, is very backwards. Is there really a God who will send you to hell, to burn and suffer in all eternity, because you do not love him, and believe in him, but yet he loves you? How sane is that?

People should learn to think for themselves, instead of believing in a repressing religion, "explained" by priests, ministers, imams and so on. Religion will not change this world for the better, because it is a repressing believe-system that keep the masses dumb, and living in fear.

Lol, priests, preacher's, imam, etc. trick people everyday into believing religion.

Anyone who deceives people is wrong, whether theist, agnostic or atheist.  Bill Maher and the director admitted to being deceptive and admitted to being liars.  So much for the so called atheist morality and ethics they brag about all the time.

Lol, televangilists and faith healers scam people all the time, but don't admit it. At least Maher admitted it. And they all knew who Bill Maher is so to be naive that he wouldn't bash or edit their testimonies, well not so smart then huh?

Yes, those televangelists and faith healers are scammers, thieves and liars too.  So because they do it, then it's okay for Maher to do it too? 

At least Maher admitted it?  Oh, and that makes it okay to you.

Hey he was getting real answers and not "politically correct" answers. Now if that's what's truly in their hearts, then it shouldn't matter.

Did you watch the CNN interviews that I posted above?  Did you hear what those people had to say about Maher's deception, to which he admitted?

You insist on defending deception for financial gain and for fame.  I guess to you the end justifies the means.

You Christians followers are hilarious! People of religion are so deceived it's hilarious. Ironic. Christians think Muslims are wrong and vice versa. Same with any other religion. So who's decieved, you, the Muslims, Buddist's? What's your answer to that loco?

Why do you ask me questions that you already know the answer to?  What does this have to do with my post?  You insist on defending deception for financial gain and for fame.

Well, more so I am defending what Maher did because religion is doing the same to people today. It's okay for religion because it's "happy feel good" deception, but Maher was maybe to blunt and that's not a "happy, feel, good" deception.
I have many religious friends and family even though they know I'm an atheist. They're just as bad as I am about sexual jokes, hating murdering criminals, vulgarity, oogling naked women and watching porn, but I don't bring that up with them because I want to keep them as friends even if they break the rules of the faith they avow to.

Beach Bum, Why don't you watch the movie yourself and then write your OWN personal criticism or review of the movie?

Not interested.  I prefer to highlight what a moron Bill Maher is.  And what is worse, he's a moron with a microphone.  He's as bad as some of our not-too-bright athletes who are given microphones and a national audience.

I find Maher's stuff very entertaining. The problem you have with him is that he says things that you don't agree with. You want to criticize the movie without ever even watching it.
