I’m really looking forward to Bill’s movie…and I can’t wait to see the picket lines of the holier than thou’s at the theaters, or the movie houses that will refuse to show it.

I never said that Maher is a reliable source on anything (like I said, I disagree with some of his positions on our government. However, he will probably make some good points about why religion is ridiculous.

Oh, and by the way, I have no problem with religious people (other then Scientologists, they’re just loons). Believe what you want to believe. As long as you’re a nice person, there is no beef between us.

And that’s really my fear of the overall end feel of this film. He’s a smart guy too which sucks when he gets “stuck” on being the stand-up comic over his politicism and overall view of real world subjects.

I think he’s funny too. But I’d wish he’d use that wit and even humor in a more eye-opening manner to almost “teach” the viewer of why he’s either mocking or has a problem with religion.

I’m all about people like Maher having their say about religion, go free speech and all that. So it’s not like I’m going to be protesting, I’ll probably even watch it, but I’m not sure that he’s the most reliable source for an actual study of religion.

He’s clearly biased to begin with and in my opinion he’s not all knowledgeable. Maher has a tendency to talk loud and sound like he knows “what I believe”, but when he starts talking about some of my supposed beliefs, he’s way off base. He shoots from the hip as it were, just to play up laughs or prove his point. I know the goal of this movie won’t be to give religion a fair shot, it’s just for laughs at the expense of religion. I’m just saying that this really can’t be used as a real look into religious practices. The editing room is a mighty powerful tool and an even more powerful tool in the hand of a man with an agenda. Just ask Faux News.

Anyone can make fun of religion or any subject for that matter. But to do it “well” (as with anything) it takes intelligence and wit.

My problem with Maher sometimes is that he can be a bit too selective in who or what he chooses to go after. It’s usually because he has “friends” in a particular spot or because he’s rubbing elbows with people in a certain corner. I’ve watched his show since it’s inception and he’s done it many times on his show before. So I hope this film he does his best to put that down and expand enough to tackle every facet having to do with religion.

It literally looks like something some 15 year old did in less than a few minutes. Not that i’m knocking some of the PS work I’ve seen on the net. Some of it is downright genius. They could have hired any of the talented posters at Worth1000 to do something much better than this.

Is Maher that much of a cheapass?

I can’t wait to see the reviews for it on FOX news.
