I think it is very interesting that this movie is not being shown anywhere in the Northwest Arkansas (Fayetteville, Rogers, Springdale, Bentonville) area. Why is this? We happen to be in the "buckle of the Bible belt" -- could that have some impact on this decision not to show this movie?????

Anyone that undertakes a serious study of human history and the belief in religion will come to the same understanding, that religion is the method by which people dealt with the unknowns of their existance when they did not understand the reality of their world. We can excuse people thousands of years ago for believing in things that did not exist (gods and spirits). Today there is no excuse. Bills bold stance for pointing out that religion is a throwback to the bronze age is an excellent first step for getting mankind to base our lives on reality, not on mythology. Imagine a world without religion: the world trade center towers would still be standing.

In the Army during the Vietnam war, we had a soldier who read the bible every day and quoted from the scriptures. Back then, I thought the bible was a work of fiction just like any novel you may happen to read. For most of my life, I have been an agnostic so I was really looking forward to this movie. I was not disappointed. This was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time and it just reinforced my belief that religion causes more harm to society than any other factor. What is most troubling is that the intolerance of religious sects is getting more and more active. Can we turn back the religious tide? While making the religious leaders look ridiculous Bill Maher doesn't really present a solution to our obvious demise as killing in the name of G-d will probably continue, unabated. While being hysterically funny, the movie is also extremely disturbing.

Funniest movie I seen in years. Bill Maher has done his homework. He knows his history and has read all the testaments. He is much more knowledgable then the people he is interviewing. Most of them think they dont need to know all the answers because faith is all they need. I just loved the Senator that said," You dont have to take an I.Q. test to be in congress " How about the hispanic gentleman that thought ihe is was the messiah omg! I laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Loved this movie!

If the bashers would see the film, they would know exactly why Maher is concerned about other peoples' faith. Irrationality threatens us all. Especially sobering is the end of the film which offers no solution, only warnings. I wish I believed that the gloomy tone is why it is rated R, but I'm quite sure it's instead due to a brief glimpse of a woman's breast, some mild cussing, and a scene where people are smoking pot legally. Maher for President.

Great movie, hits the nail on the head. The people that put this movie down are closed minded with narrow visions and want to be controlled by idiots. OMG!!

Maher is an idiot. It is because of hate speech like this that the atheistic wacko students went postal at Columbine High School killing students who admitted that they "believed in God." I wonder if when Maher gets sick or has to get a gerbil out of his a** if he goes to an atheist hospital (if he can find one)? He would be even more of a repugnant hypocrite if he goes to any hospital that was founded by Christians or people from other faiths - hint: any hospital with "Saint", "Christian", "Baptist" or "Jewish" in the name would be deemed religious. Maher will burn in hell and be forced to watch his stupid movie over again, and again, and again...
