Default Religulous

Anyone heard about this movie? Its a documentary by Bill Maher that basically questions religion as a whole. I saw it last night and found it funny and thought provoking. I would highly encourage anyone who isnt extremely religious to see it, and and even if you are religious and have an open mind I think you will enjoy it. Check out the website:

I am a big fan of Bill Maher. I have listened to his show "religiously" from his days at ABC to his new show on HBO. That being said, when it comes to religion, Bill Maher has no idea what he's talking about. If you caught last weeks show, there was an excellent exchange between Andrew Sullivan and Maher concerning religion.

Maher has some good points on religion, but his points could feasibly be applied to any massive institution. They have good, they have bad, sometimes the good outweighs the bad, and sometimes the bad outweighs the good.

I am pretty sure this isn't video game related.

If we could only find that blasted mod.

I love that review, didn't mean to derail the topic, but whenever someone mentions religion and video games that review is the first thing I think of. Lol

The movie looks funny....it looks unfair, totally out of context (for the people interviewed), and scripted...but funny. If I see it I will see it because it looks funny....

But like Bond said, based on what little observations I have seen regarding Maher, this movie will probably be a light romp against religion.
