An atheist's viewpoints on religion, government, culture, adding friction to the fray. Will be talking about books occasionally, hence the title. Blunt, mocking (gently & otherwise), shootin' straight from the hip (hopefully), a dash of humor w/liberal doses of cynicism. Enjoy.
Well, I enjoyed the ever livin' hell out of this movie. It was a little like Root Of All Evil, only with more stand-up comedy, and a lot less intellectual meat.
The long silences that Maher received when he joked around about religion were...interesting. As well as being escorted out of the Utah temple grounds and being evicted from the Vatican.
It's a fun watch, but I expect the Scientologists to be filing a lawsuit any day now.

I liked it up until Maher tried to argue that religion itself was the problem. I don't care if people believe in God, or even if they believe very strongly in God. Not my business, not my problem.
Until, that is, they try to take it public or use their religion to interfere with other people's rights. Then I have a problem.
Hey Watcher. I have a problem w/how religion tends to shield the crazies, as well as the busybody nature of it.
I have no beef with either of those beefs.
Watcher:
I have no beef with either of those beefs.Then where's the beef? Ha-HA!
