See what is funny to me people are mad that he attack Christianity. Well is that not, the largest religion in this nation? The truly funny issue is that 95% of people who believe in religion have no clue about the history of their religion. Faith is something you sale the masses, but the ignorance that comes with it has started many wars and killed many people. Faith is the blind leading the blind. If you read the King James, Eve was the first woman made correct? WRONG!! Check your history. There were 7 chapters that were excluded from the final version of the King James, because it made the book sound even dumber. Learn the history of the religion you praise before shoveling that crap down other’s throats. In school you were taught to research and check your source yet when it comes to religion people feel it is okay not to know. The book leaves anyone who reads it with a million questions, but you never even try to find the answer. The answers are in the missing chapters. The only bible in the world that has them all in it is the Ethiopian Christianity Bible. Learn your history period. Religion is ridiculous and those who follow blindly sound ridiculous.

The movie does far more than just ask questions; it ridicules the Christian faith. As for the Bible, since I have a terminal degree in biblical studies, I know more than the average person and perhaps more than the average priest.

The idea that “nothing” in the Bible can be proven is nonsense. Archeology is making new finds on a regular basis that confirm major sections of the Bible.

It helps to get your “facts” from reliable sources and not from fringe movies tying to make money.

You can’t dispute anything in Religulous, if you know the Bible and what it says, even compared to the Priests in the movie are more honest about the nonsense in the bible.

The absolute simple fact of the matter is, The Bible is all just faith in something that cannot be proven once, twice and a zillion times over.

I understand christians getting all pissy over it.
But like he said, he’s just asking questions.

If you would really take the time to live by the bible and really ask God, Jesus Christ, to help you understand then you willl know that there is a God, and that he love you, so much that he came into human form and died for you and me.

anyone remember Jerry McGuire’s “you had me at hello”?

well Christianity lost me at “god told abraham to sacrifice his son” and it pretty much just goes downhill from there. I mean REALLY????? you can try to “explain” it to me all day, but there is only one way to interpretate that and it is this…..the god of the old testament is petty and insecure like a teenage girl. HE is like a 3 year old constantly throwing a tantrum, but HIS tantrums cause death and destruction. otherwise, rational thinking people, go apeshit when you try to point out the fact that if anyone did that today, they would be in prison for attempted murder, child endangerment, something…………..anyway. Mahrer hits it on the head everytime! the three major religions have suspicious similiarites with myths thousands of years before their time and they all seem to take pride in their own ignorance and judgement. it seems everyone wants to be “be part of something” and that is what religion does, it is a soft, warm, sweet-smelling security blanket that protects them from their most basic fear……death.

remember what george kastanza said……”if YOU believe it, it is not a lie”. and that is why OJ thinks he is innocent and muslims think there are 32 virgins waiting on them in heaven!!!!!

Um, clearly whoever wrote this didn’t watch the movie (hilarious, with equal opportunity skewering! no religion got off easy..)

And nothing you wrote can refute the main point, which is that all religions are grounded heavily in myth and things that are patently ridiculous and can not be proven by the faithful…

Hey, and just like with those Harry Potter books you love to hate on so much, none of the “supernatural” events (virgin birth… hahahahaha, best excuse ever!), flood covering the entire earth, women being made from a man’s rib (???) can be proven! Ever. It’s all made up. Prove it happened, I dare you.

Granted, the Bible is valuable as a historical document, and clearly a lot of what it contains is based in or on historical figures and occurrences, but it was written by man, and has evolved considerably since its inception…

I haven't seen the movie (and don't really plan to). My main concern, however, is not Maher's irreligious brand of humor, but how Christians should respond, generally, to ridicule and scorn. Is Bill Maher Religulous?
