Movie Reviews of The God Who Wasn't There
Movie Review: The Bar
Summary: 5 Stars
I think it helps to approach this film without a very specific set of expectations of what it *should* be (strong, wide-ranging, super-rational atheist manifesto etc.). On first viewing I was disappointed too, thinking it too quirky, irreverent in tone, and not hard-hitting enough (considering the scope of the duping job central to the movie's premise). After some thought, a peek at the supplementary materials, a bit of independent research and then a second viewing (with a fairer idea of what to expect style-wise), I liked it much, much better. In fact, some of the points blew past me the first time (the audio track occasionally drowned out key points, which were seldom re-iterated). Brian Flemming does put his own stamp on it, but this is part of its charm.
I'm also frankly amazed at the unsophisticated, actually quite vitriolic and low-ball, attempts at rebuttal by the clearly enraged (and very unforgiving :)) Christian reviewers.
Movie Review: Overwhelming...
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is so careful so as not to insult Christians and their beliefs but delivers thought out arguments that are both very clever and interesting to hear and think about. It's unlike any other, it talks about the lies the bible has led us to believe through the years and how people blindly follow them without giving it much thought, not questioning.
I have no doubt that any theists who do decide to see the movie will be questioning their faith and hopefully start to understand the logic behind what they believe and think about what they're basing their beliefs on. And if they're not, whether it's wise to just believe them with no reason to, than for just a pathway into heaven which is completely selfish.
I recommend this movie to anyone, it's a good watch even if you're not looking for answers, etc.
Onto the technical bit, I agree with the others, the quality isn't that good, and it was quite short, but still, a good buy.
Movie Review: Nobody likes being told they're wrong.
Summary: 5 Stars
Why do you think this movie gets some bad reviews? It's controversial, and the ones giving the bad reviews are the people who don't agree with it. It's hard to accept and think about if you dissagree with it, but it's well worth seeing. I think that anybody, Atheist or Theist should see this movie. Brian Flemming went to a lot of work to put together a wonderful film that is only given half the credit it deserves.
I was a Christian for 5 years, I'm now an avid Agnostic and Secular Humanist. I own a large website about religion and philosophy, and have spent probably 8-9 hours a week debating topics like the Christ-Myth theory over the past year. I know my theology, and I know my history, and this film will satisfy the mind of anybody interested enough to listen and maybe learn something. The information in this documentary is nothing new, but the way it's being presented on film is.
Movie Review: Takes the piss right out of The Bible
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a fundamentalist Christian, vote Republican or believe that Adam & Eve hung out with dinosaurs, this movie is not for you. It also won't convert people of the aforementioned mentality because, frankly, they're addicted to the Kool-Aid.
A great, short little documentary that lays out the obvious flaws in The Bible, the dangerous, blood-thirsty mentality of Christianity (Watch out, gays!) and the intellectual bankruptcy of those who defend it. I immensely enjoyed this film and would recommend it to anyone that is curious about religion and/or open to intellectual discourse.
Again, not recommend for anyone that believes Creationism has been proven by science and that Jesus is coming back to get us soon, so screw global warming. Fun Fact: I just described our political leaders in America. HUZZAH! God, we're screwed...
Movie Review: Get out of Christianity ASAP!
Summary: 5 Stars
This lie called "Christianity" has gone on for too long. ENOGUH IS ENOUGH.
These criminals are spreading these lies to South Koreans and in India and Sri Lanka and what not.
Its a vile doctrine.
This is the belief system that gave us the ethnic cleansing of the American Indians, SIavery, Iynchings, Jim Crowe (American caste system which exist even today in separate churches for whites and Blacks), The Holocaust, the Rwanda massacre, the Goa Inquisition (and the Spanish inquisition).
ENOUGH ALREADY!
If you are a "moderate" Christian, you are a part of this criminal enterprise too. A willing executioner for this vile doctrine. A complete rejection is the only proper message to be sent to this vile doctrine. A Jealous God? Really?
