    if someone asks you to watch a documentary about religion and the first couple of minutes talk about how r****ded people are for worshiping some ghost in the sky and some alkie hippy dude who turned water into wine, would you really stick around to hear the ultimate "point"?

    See my response above. I already know the lesson you say this video teaches. I don't like the spin it uses any more than I like Michael Moore's spin. That is why I won't waste two hours of my time watching it just like I won't watch Sicko.

    That two hours would be much more productively spent playing Grifball.

    Exactly. Ask a devout Christian to go see Religiosity and see if they spend more than 15 minutes in the theater.

    I dismissed Quicksilver as one of the worst movies ever made after about 10 minutes. I still wish I had believed myself and not wasted the other 90 minutes of my life on that piece of ****.

    I classify this endeavor as taking back 1:58 of my life that would be wasted watching this.

    I don't think that would deter me. I've very interested in seeing Bill Maher's documentary on Religion. I've seen most of Michael Moore's movies, too.

    Hey, I subject myself to these message boards quite frequently!! ;)


    Actually, I want to see Religiosity. I know what to expect already. There's nothing new there.

    I find your "confidence" in knowing what is in the other 110 minutes of the video a bit unconvincing. You are not obligated to watch it but you should prevent yourself from dismissing or commenting on it if you haven't viewed it personally.

    It's like the dawning of Aquarius in Wingnuttia; a sort of bizarro "Summer of Gov"

    So giddyup, I guess you'll be hooking up with thumbs at the tea party, then?

    What's next anti-war protests?

    The dawning preceeded this last election. BTW, I voted for Obama. :D

    It's an imperfect world, but I like your "Summer of Gov" line!

    I know what is in the other 118 minutes, you told me. I believe it already. Why do I need to subject myself to 118 minutes of spin when I am convinced of the premise already?

    Except a few months back, Bush could have taken a dump right in the middle of the oval office, and you would have thought it right.

    Hmmmm. I was trying to tell the presumptuous what it wasn't not what it was.

    You said...

    You had me at eviscerates... ;)

    Seriously, I know this and if this is the lesson in the "film," I don't need to watch a spin piece about it.

    I could only make through one hour and fifty minutes before I had to turn it off.

    So how would you define the spin? What viewpoint is it biased towards?
