Can Christians explain the roles of neanderthals?
What did the carnivores eat in Noah's arc?
Did a guy live in a "big fish" for 3 days.
This is for the Christians who take the bible literally, fundamentalists I believe.- Have you ever read the bible or are just repeating what the media told you to repeat? I'm no fundie so I'll let other respondgeorgesIII

I did notice he didn't interview the brightest Christians in the movie.moldero
Yes, Horus from the Egyptians, Krishna from the Hindu religion. They had a similar story as far as being born from a virgin, being cruxified, among other similarities. These stories were before Jesus's time as well.- Not Krishna. You're thinking of Karna, Just want to be pedantic here in this most revered of discussions.abhi

The least intelligent people simply parrot and paraphrase those things said by the most 'intelligent', and I'm hesitant to use that word to describe them, religious people. Religious ideas themselves are pretty simple, what takes some intelligence is to be able to effectively and concisely lance them and reveal them to be false or downright nasty in as entertaining way as possible.
Bill Maher might be a bit of a smug tosspot at times, but he's my kind of smug tosspot, and he'd wouldn't be true to himself if he tried to make a high-brow intellectual critique of religion rather than just mocking its inherent idiocy the way he does with his other material.
A smart 8 year old is still as right when they declare that religion is false as Christopher Hitchens is when he's debating Rabbo Shmuley.

some good points he brought out were on how a lot of the bible stories flood, jesus, were copies of stories from an older religion from the first civilization if i remember right.
- i'm with you on that. just seems like the bulk of the movie (the interviews) was funny, but that was about it. the few moments where he really explained the fallacy of christianity were some of my favorite bitsmcmillions

my bro brought up a good point—it's easy to make fun of religions when you interview the least intelligent people associated with them. it was entertaining, but didn't make any strong arguments against religion because of the dolts he talked with.
- there are no strong argument that prove religion. Religion is based on non-tangible, unprovable things. So you can't argue it any way you look at it.Boz

- yeah, but it's a documentary, which in this case, has a strong opinion. it's just easy to make your point by interviewing the stupidest people opposing you.mcmillions
