This looks like a good, informative documentary (even though I'm sure a good deal of you will now half of what they will talk about) albeit sort of amateur.

One man they interview, Sam Harris, makes a startling point. If 44% of american christians believe that Christ will return within their lifetime, they will be less willing to solve world conflicts. This angers me that someone can think that "oh well 1 million people died today, all in the name of Christ returning" and not give a damn about the world around them. Absolutley disgusting that these people are aloud to elect our leaders.

Who are you to say who they can and can't elect?

But then, isn't voting just another form of mind control, forcing you to think along the lines of the ideas someone else formulated? Would that mean the smart people would refuse to ever vote?

I'm pretty sure Christian thought teaches that, return or no return, good works are still the way to get into Heaven (especially in Catholic doctrine).

Then again, I can count on one hand the amount of "Christians" who openly betray the tenets of their basic worldview, but that's nothing special or specific to Christians.

Its a good movie but in my opinion the same time spent watching atheism videos on youtube is more educational.

Somehow, I think this is one of the smallest reasons why problems aren't being solved.

It is the whistle-blower of a 2000 year-old fable. I want it so bad.
