1	X-san Wed 6/11/2008 7:00p	http://www.apple.com/trailers/...rge.html Looks interesting.
2	Elderp Wed 6/11/2008 8:46p	Looks interesting but it will probably be P13-R so I wont be watching it.
3	X-san Wed 6/11/2008 8:55p	P13-R? You mean PG13 or something? I didn't realize you were under aged. So young to be married too! Just get an older sibling or friend to go in with you, the movie guy won't care. ;)
4	Elderp Wed 6/11/2008 9:03p	Yes, I meant PG-13. "So young to be married too! Just get an older sibling or friend to go in with you, the movie guy won't care." LOL
5	SuperDry Wed 6/11/2008 9:59p	Looks interesting from the trailer. It appears that he's addressing religion in general, rather than any one particular religion.
6	Inspector 57 Wed 6/11/2008 10:46p	"From The Studio That Brought You 'Farenheit 451'" "From The Director of 'Borat'" Uhhhhhhh... Why do I suspect that this movie will be more of an exercise in self-aggrandizement than a balanced, critical examination of the alleged issue?

I love Bill Maher and I'll be in line for the first showing, but I suspect this will be a broad indictment of superficial religion. I'm as quick as anyone to jump on what I see as the hypocrisy of religion and the "my god is better than your god" crowd. But that's not religion to everybody and I think any serious treatment of religion also has to acknowledge those more thoughtful people who view the Bible and religious teachings more metaphorically to lead better lives. Somehow I think Maher ignores that group.

It's quite possible for someone to be a complete believer in God and to lead a better life because of it yet at the same time realize how much damage many of the organized religions have caused.
