I finally saw the movie, and I thought it was hilarious. I do, however, wonder how much it parallels Ben Stein's "Expelled." Stein's movie featured some interview segments where the interviewees were cut off before they finished speaking, and there were a few spots in Religulous where, while funny, the interviews cut off with the interviewee going "umm..." and I wonder what they eventually got around to saying.

I think my favourite part was the trucker chapel with the one guy getting spooked/offended and storming out, and the other guy talking about the "turbin of shroud" and how Jesus had female blood. Also A+ was the trucker chapel preacher telling Bill that he's implying that the Bible is "fisticious."

Want to see it, but did see an interview with Bill about it. He made a really good quote. "Anyone who is religious, could be considered a radical".

I did watch it, it's fabulous. It's very funny, very thought-provoking, and overall very well-done.

Also, I saw the bonus features, on the DVD, they're HILARIOUS.

I rented it and am convinced I cracked a rib or two laughing.

I've seen this movie and I have to say it's a good one. Not only is it funny but it makes you really think and makes a good point. I like how he hits more than one religion. The only down side to it is that the people who should be watching it (The religious people), won't -_-

I love it when he said "You don't know there's a god because I don't know there's a god, and you don't have any special powers that I don't!"


For some reason that had me cracking up in the theater.

YES I FINALLY WATCH THE MOVIE!!!! THANKS TO MY FRIEND WHO LET ME BORROW IT (sorry for all-caps)

It's so good I might want to buy it from my friend lol.

I like Bill Maher. He is a great guy and I really want to meet him. He's a pretty cool agnostic. Was he smoking pot? I thought that was sort of random.

I know I am a geek because I took notes as I watched the movie:
I saw hypocrisy in the Islam religion about:
"In the words of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and prayers be upon Him, Judgement Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews ... they will kill them."
^ WTF o.O I mean you talk about peace and then you say you want to kill someone (strange!!!)

and wtf is up with that Ex-Gay guy
(oh sorry I meant heterosexual guy)
You can be guy ... he just doesn't know what he's talking about.

Man I didn't realize people actually voted for Bush because of his faith
That is bullcrap! Maybe that's why I don't like Bush.

Wow there's so much that I could go on and on.

IT. WAS. ********. HILARIOUS.

<3<3<3<3 This movie.
The funniest parts are whenever he asks someone a
question, and they answer with some really stupid
answers, and then the next second the screen changes
into a footage that just completely refuted the
interviewee's answers.
It's like, DOUBLE EXTRA-BURN + MEGA PWN!!
