but you're okay with the "preachyness" of religion? you're okay with people dying over a fairy tale, but you're not okay with other people having a problem with that? plenty of awful things are significant to cultures but that does not make it okay. women are raped and have their genitals mutilated in africa. it's part of their culture. does that make it acceptable? hardly. it's a mistake to believe that just because something has always happened or has been done before that it shouldn't be changed.
i'm an atheist but i don't have any angst and i don't even think about it most days. i get infuriated when i see the christian right trying to force morality down our throats. i get angry when i see religion influence politics, especially considering our politicians are not role models by any stretch of the imagination. we need more people like bill maher, who are in the public eye, to talk about the absurdity of religion.
you say 'it seems' but yet, you don't know, so since you don't, watch the movie, and then come back and tell us what you think. you'll probably still hate it because you have a bias, but you might not. i used to hate Michael Moore for similar reasons w/o actually watching him .. but now i almost kind of like him.
from what i remember of the movie, bill maher pretty much lets other people talk. i don't care for loudmouth jackasses even if i agree with their point of view and he is not like that in the movie.
