It actually took me almost 4 hours watching the whole thing the first time because I can't help re-winding almost every little part of it. Totally seriously hilarious! I do that when I see a great movie. did the same thing with The Godfather, Young Frankenstein, Midnight Cowboy. EVERYONE should see this movie!

I can't wait til ppl realize the danger's caused by blind faith. We should question everything instead of being led blindly by sheep. Religion is the only thing that has total control of people to the point of killing for it. I think the world would be a better place if it never existed. It came at a time when science didn't exist, and maybe it did help bring civilization into the modern age, but in my opinion it will destroy everything we know wayyyy before the earth dies from natural cosmic causes. I just wish people were not so brainwashed to let this happen, especially when everyone has a fuctioning brain and can think for themselves.... its a shame I just watched the movie, totally great.

I also loved his remark that a lot of people had questions about their religion but didn't want to admit these to anyone. I'm also looking forward to read about religion in the history books as one of man's greatest flaws. Unfortunately i don't think this will be in my lifetime and I'm just a 20 year old guy. When watching this movie i was thinking about starting my own "religion" using the moral of the story: doubt the certainty of god. Because that is what they all preach, they and only they know who the real God is and even more disturbing how to get him on your side. One can just hope that this movie becomes enough of a hype to start a discussion about this subject. Wich is doubtfull Even before this movie i was convinced that religion did more harm then good. this movie did just confirm this.

Unfortunately, all the positive things done in the name of religion DO NOT even come remotely close to excusing the vast list of crimes and utter hated bred from them. Maher has it right, the only possible stance one can have on the issue of God, is doubt. Not necessarily the doubt of the existence of the divine, but knowing that what people wrote a few thousand years ago CANNOT be true. People invented stories, I repeat stories, to explain what could not be explained at the time. We now have answers to much of what man only could attribute to a magical being(s) so therefore the stories are proven to be exactly that.

I thought it was decent, though not great. It wasn't *that* funny. However, Maher did a good job of nailing religion to the cross. I saw it with a couple of non-believing friends.
