    anybody seen this yet? http://www.thegodmovie.com/dvd.php

    Bowling for Columbine did it to the gun culture.

    Super Size Me did it to fast food.

    Now The God Who Wasn't There does it to religion.

    Holding modern Christianity up to a bright spotlight, this bold and often hilarious new film asks the questions few dare to ask.

    Your guide through the world of Christendom is former fundamentalist Brian Flemming, joined by such luminaries as Jesus Seminar fellow Robert M. Price, professor Richard Dawkins, author Sam Harris and historian Richard Carrier.

    See the movie the Los Angeles Times calls "provocative - to put it mildly."

    Hold on to your faith. It's in for a bumpy ride.

    i have lots of questions for god, but i am going to see the movie first...

    After watching the trailer, I don't know. I get all hurty and depressed inside when I see raving fundy preachers, even just little clips.

    Yeah, watching evangelical preachers is the emotional equivalent of rolling around on thumb tacks and then taking a bath in rubbing alchohol. I hate when that happens....

    This looks awesome Tetra! I'm ordering it right now, thanks for the heads up.


    Hopefully this movie is well done. Maybe it can get some of those fly by night "Passion of the Christ" Christians to reconsider what their flimsy beliefs are based on. The world needs this type of information in the mainstream.
