With quotes from major figureheads like Thomas Jefferson, George W. Bush and Osama Bin Laden, Bill Maher, with a Jewish-Catholic background, sets out to prove that having faith and seeking directions from God is basically ridiculous and may be due to a neurotic disorder. Interviewing Christians, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Mormons, scientists, gays, and atheists, he cites that the number of non-believers is increasing in North America. He attempts to prove his point by citing inconsistencies in the Bible, the controversial birth of Lord Jesus, the inability of religious heads to account for His absence for over 18 years, as well as the absence of any concrete evidence that disproves the theory of evolution.
I first saw this trailer almost 2 years ago and was immediately drawn to it. Others in the past have put together films and documentaries about whether Jesus was the son of god, or if he had risen from the dead. But this film doesn't do either, it questions people faith in GOD and Jesus Christ and The Bible. When it came out on DVD i got it and watched it, and it was everything i thought it would be, he asked people questions they couldn't answer, and it was funny to see people buckle under the pressure of the truth. His whole thing was to go around and promote doubt, and he did just that, and before i had watched his film i myself was in a little doubt and now am in even more doubt. He asked the question like "where is the actually proof that Jesus Christ existed, and if he did why did they write about him 18 years after he was crucified?" Wow that's a great question, and you know what....nobody could answer it.
The thing that caught my mind and attention was when he mentioned all the wars of the world past and present, and how 90% were caused directly by religion. That's ridiculous, something that was supposed to bring people together in a holy state has done nothing but pull people apart, using weapons and hateful words. Also do you think when Jesus was spreading his word of GOD, that he has imagined in the year 2009 the pope would live better than 70% of the people in this world? Living in a gaudy mansion with more rooms than a Vegas hotel, and more gold than Donald Trump's penthouse in Manhattan. I'm pretty sure that was not part of his message.
I'm not going around myself and putting down religion and beliefs and what standards people live by, all I'm asking is this....
How peaceful would our world be if there was not a shade of religion in it?
