Bill Maher does a fantastic job of raising some good questions about some of the worlds perceptions and religious dogmas that have caused some of the greatest controversies and bloody wars in history. Nations, governments, families and well meaning people are divided all over the world because of these ridiculous practices of the bronze age that have continued to draw huge followers for some five thousand or more years (if you count the religions that preceded our Christian and Muslim beliefs of today). My values and beliefs in God are reinforced by the wisdom and comedy of this feature. Great art changes the way people think. Some of my ideas were actually changed because of this film. Everything that good art should be. I love the pop up comments and cut-away clips of film and old TV reactions. I laughed loud enough for the neighbors to hear me throughout this film. I highly recommend the film to everyone, religious or not. I love the part where the Muslim guy texts on his cell and the pop up dialogue says "What's my orders? Bill Maher must die? ;) LOL" hilarious!!!! As a believer in God, I found this movie compelling.
