Religulous
« on: May 07, 2010, 04:16:20 PM »
Religulous is a 2008  American comedy/political film written by and starring political  comedian  Bill Maher and directed by Larry Charles. According to Maher, the title of the film is a portmanteau  derived from the words "religion" and "ridiculous"; the documentary examines and mocks organized religion and religious belief.

A range of views on the various world religions are explored as Bill Maher travels to numerous religious destinations, such as Jerusalem, the Vatican, and Salt Lake City, interviewing believers from a variety of backgrounds and groups, including a former member of Jews for Jesus, Christians, Muslims, former Mormons,  and Hasidic Jews. He travels to Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, London and satirically preaches Scientology  beliefs.

I liked this film a lot.  It could have been better produced but its content was on point. My favorite was Bible Land.

I work at a Fundie school, and I just don't get the whole "see the elephant in my pocket" thing. I mean, how could any moron who watches this movie NOT feel ridiculous if religulous? I'm not even an atheist, per se.  I'm just amazed by the natural world, in awe of and appalled by the human world, and comfortable with uncertainty.  To me, good=good. That's it.

I just gave the movie to my born again Catholic ex. The one who offered to pay for me to go to abstinence boot camp after our divorce. He decided if I wasn't going to be married to him, the next best thing was to be nun, and he was wiling to pay me to not do it (with anyone but him of course). I would have preferred a child support.

Well, he offered to pay me to go to the Abstinence Workshop at Church after our divorce. He said he would also go.   I said I'd pay him to go have sex with someone else.
