Movie Reviews of The God Who Wasn't There
Movie Review: Should be mandatory viewing!
Summary: 5 Stars
There are far too few videos on this subject that present the information in such an entertaining and easy-to-understand way. I just wish the people who really need to see this, would see it, but the fact is that most of these people are too narrow-minded to even consider watching it. The "christians" I know would say it was created by Satan himself. My favorite part was during the closing credits when Richard Carrier is asked if after he's dead and he finds himself in hell, wouldn't he then regret not believing. He says no because if he had to sit in heaven, forever, knowing that there were all these people in hell suffering for eternity and there was nothing he could do for them, that would be hell for him. That sums up the difference between "believers" and people who really care about the human race.Movie Review: Makes way for intresting debate
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was really entertaining. Of course there are a few complaints I have...one is that the movie itself isn't very long. I enjoyed going through and watching the extended interviews which did more thought provoking. Another problem I had was although the material is great there is so much more that could have been included! Not to mention I think the interviews he did with the Christians weren't too substantial cos a lot of churchgoers haven't even read what they're being told. Towards the end he talks about his school which came off as a grudge. Believe me, I've been there, survived that, and got over it. Unfortunately there are more literal fundamental Christians and christian radical extremists out there than it seems. This is a movie I think all should view, especially church goers.Movie Review: JESUS IS COMING... LOOK BUSY!
Summary: 5 Stars
All kidding aside, kudos to all involved in the conception, production, execution, and distribution of this thought provoking docu-film. As an Agnostic who honestly believes we neither can concretely or realistically prove nor disprove the past or current existence of a 'superior being' (a.k.a. 'God', or whatever), I applaud the honest effort and philosophical premise of this DVD. Also, given the fact that I logically believe all religious or 'holy' books and manuscripts were conceived of and written by mortal men (not some 'god'), and that so many humans BLINDLY accept, without scrutiny or analysis, the infallibility of their 'born into' or chosen religion, there is always necessity and room for an alternate realist viewpoint. All in all, a very entertaining and thought provoking film!Movie Review: Thought provoking, to the extreme.
Summary: 5 Stars
This film brought to light points that everyone who stands behind the bible should witness, as no sword should go untested. What makes me wonder the most is why the apostles waited until they were in their 70's before they began writing their gospels.
The only drawback about the presentation is the satirical tone in much of it's delivery, which caters to non-believers and would surely turn away many christians who attempt to watch it. Had it been slightly more clinical, and respectfully not weighted words, then it may have been more effective in reaching people with an important message.
My favorite part was the author's return to his old school to interview the principal, and their awkward exchange.
See this one sober.
Movie Review: Blasphemous and informative
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary is one of the best in this genre of religion questioning. It provides a basic timeline for the writing of the Bible and questions the sanity of believing in anything without logical reason. Mr. Flemming talks to many different people and tries to get them to explain why they believe in what religion teaches them, which by their answers help him bring his point forth. This movie will change the minds of those people that are sitting on the fence of doubt, but will probably be dismissed by the fervent believer for its irreverence. This is a movie to be collected because it doesn't get stale with time. I strongly recommend it to those who want to be informed about religion and atheism.
