Religulous: Good Movie
I just got back from seeing Religulous by Bill Maher. I have to say it was worth the time and was quite amusing/disturbing, and really highlights many of the problems of religion brings to the world. I would definitely suggest the movie to anyone who’s has been mulling the idea of seeing it.

It was certainly good to see fundamentalist religion taken to task for the absurdity of its literal texts, and as a non-believer I thought it was mildly enjoyable. Unfortunately, I think the movie was far too superficial and lacking in a cohesive message (other than the obvious one that people who believe the Bible to be literally true are fools). See my review of this film at http://polypyloctomy.24kblogs.com/2008/10/04/religulous-trite-and-true/ for more of my thoughts.

I would attribute that to the fact that Maher is a comedian first. He was trying to make an amusing movie, as well as an anti-religion movie.

I just saw the movie today. It was good, but Maher was kind of a dick.
