RELIGULOUS--Bill Maher

[Solace]

And you're doing it again. So anyone who disagrees with boagie is now only worthy to be laughed at. He is completely incapable of engaging in a discussion with them, he won't even reply to non-religious questions that challenge his statements, questions such as,

Love is (very) often irrational. So should we laugh at anyone devoted to that to?

Congrats on accomplishing nothing yet again, boagie. And you've got the nerve to say someone else is ridiculous? What's the word for someone who accuses someone else of doing the exact thing that they do? Oh yeah, hypocrite.

Solace, Get a grip!! Do you want to talk about the movie, or its trailer, then do so.


"Now, first let me just start by saying that I belong to no denomination, nor am I an athiest, agnostic, any of that. I have my own ideas on religious experiences that are too much to go into here. I also, until recently, was not a fan of Bill Maher. Recently though, after seeing this trailer, watching "Real Time", and reading some of his articles, I have to admit I've been admiring him more and more.

Can he be an *******, undoubtedly yes. An honest one though.

With all that said, I cannot WAIT for this film.

Alot of people seem to be misunderstanding this film as something that it isn't, as an insult to God. It's not from what I understand, moreso an expose on the irrational fatanicsm that can sometimes be extremely harmful to people's sense of reason and rationality, especially the people who are supposed to be governing our lives as a society. I can't wait for the dialogues that I'm sure this film will spark!

That, and I too enjoy asking the folks who wait at the train stop with 'Watchtower' issues in hand about why the Devil still exists if God is omnipotent. Most are puzzled, the others start talking about "necessary evil" and, well, I won't draw this post out any further.

Talk amongst yourselves." quote

Oh I see, it's okay for boagie to talk about something other than directly referencing the movie or the trailer, but it's not okay for anyone else to do it.

I'm still laughing....

Solace,

Take a Valium and wait fifteen minutes, then continue with your ever so impressive dialogue, I will see what I can do for you.

STOP! This is getting a little absurd with the going back and forth. Some posts have been disapproved because they were repeating as this were a chat. Quit bickering all of you and talk about the movie if you've seen it. If you haven't seen it, then watch it first.

I have not seen the movie but will go and see it so I can participate in this conversation. I like Bill Maher because he's a little off the wall and down to earth at the same time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with questioning the validity of Religion, it needs to be done more often.

Carry on!

[Solace]

I will see what I can do for you.

No, that's the problem, you won't see what you can do. Because what you can do is answer the very reasonable questions that I posed in the previous posts, but you refuse to. So you won't see what you can do, you'll just keep treating anyone who disagrees with you derision and condescension, all the while proving yourself to be far less rational than the very people you're making fun of. I'm starting to think that there's even less hope for you than for any religious nut-job, so I'll go do something more productive with my time for a while... like burying my head in the sand.

The move "Religulous" is quite absurd. It only touches on the most extreme cases of fundamentalism and has no depiction or discussion of ordinary, moderate faith.

To use an analogy, this would be like making a movie about every extreme car crash and then concluding that automobile technology is inherently dangerous.

The movie is one giant logical fallacy: the Hasty Generalization.

OctoberMist,

Welcome to the forum OctoberMist, glad to see you getting your feet wet!! Well, I have not seen the movie myself, I have seen the trailer. I would think it goes without saying that it would be one sided just as any religious production is one sideded. I am curious as to your belief system, and how that might effect your interpretation, are you a believer? That is not to say that the atheist is not filtering the experience of said movie through his already established preference. Personally I find what the average Christian believer believes to be "Religulous and some of these are my closest friends. So for me ordinary moderate faith, is not a statement of sanity and is ready made for comedy. Your analogy is probable right on, because the movie is intended to underline how dangerous religion is in our time. We perhaps will get some input from others whom have seen the movie. I think if you are religious and go to see the movie, the evaluation is perdictable, we all approach these things with our own biases in place, if your making this statement and indeed you are an atheist, then we might consider it an objective view-------otherwise your just another crazy----------just kidding!!
