"Religulous"

If you've seen it, you PROBABLY like it. If you haven't seen it, there's probably a reason and I respect that. I like Bill Maher and the "ask-age" of difficult questions. I remember when he was in trouble after 9/11 for saying that the terrorists who flew the planes into the twin towers weren't cowards. When I recovered from a protracted period of offense, I had to admit to some truth there. A tragedy or difficult situation isn't marginalized by addressing tough questions emerging in its wake. Rather, it creates an opportunity to turn the mirror inward again.

This documentary is a slightly-less-sensationalist piece than, say, a Michael Moore flick but only just.

It's damning faith less than it is religion and the atrocities that happen in its name. I agree with this notion that the problem isn't with some great original ideas (that, let's face it, came from men and in some cases well-meaning men) but the revising and odd interpretations of these ideas that create much of the conflict on this planet.

This is just the right type of piece for an "I-Don't-Knowist" like me. Maher seems to wish he knew and had answers to all things spiritual. A lot of people want the same thing and I know I do, too.

The important thing in this movie is being able to ask the questions and that's what I like.
