		<description>&quot;Sensibility&quot;..&quot;Let&#039;s be &#039;reasonable&#039;&quot;.  I&#039;m not saying fr. Coyne sold-out or know what his thinking is, but there&#039;s no proof that the Big Bang and millions of years have passed since Earth began.  It also need not be that that is the opposite of a 6 24 hour day creation either.  Still, we have more proof for the latter being the Bible is inerrant, whereas the former is made up.  

As Anne Coulter has it in her book title, liberalism is a religion that is all about anything but God   as king of the Earth and its inhabitants.  The liberals will even believe in man coming from aliens.  The Politically incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism has all the lies we buy about global warming (the descendent of liberalism&#039;s godless eugenic past and its genocidal legacy).  Somewhere, in that timeline, Piltdown Man (&quot;discovered&quot; by some, amongst whom was a Jesuit) was also accepted by &quot;Big science&quot; without the scientific method (and we are said not to care about science?!).  All this--and those who rely more on the Bible than the just-so stories of the godless are the crazy ones?  If anything, genocide has been done in the name of religion and irreligion.  It all comes down to charity.  

   That an intelligent comedian has come to making this movie only proves his denial of the hypocrisy of his irreligious patronage as well as his being sophmoric--or it just may be he&#039;s a fellow traveler.  The persecution of the &quot;reasonable&quot; ones done to those with another viewpoint, as illustrated in &quot;Expelled&quot;, is the hypocrisy of those who complained when &quot;Big religion&quot; did the same to them.  Religion does not need a deity and so liberalism can be called a religion--one that has won over religious [who probably are ashamed of their religion&#039;s teachings (as the Japanese guy in Western clothes in Jet Li&#039;s &quot;Fearless&quot; wants the German to win over the &quot;Sick man of Asia&quot;), despite the fact the irreligious cannot test anything empirical regarding their claims about the origin of life, for example) and irreligious alike, who want to feel smart and reasonable before a modern(ist) society and &quot;beat&quot; the freaks in these times.  There&#039;s been a turf war, started by the Freemasons, picked on the Catholic Church, as that is Satan&#039;s enemy, and I believe once light-hearted comedians of the &#039;80s endeared us to them only to play us along with their flutes that &quot;tickle the ears&quot; like the Pied Piper.  At the end, following their illogic, thinking it wisdom, we&#039;ll be put in a dark place like the boys who became donkeys in Pinnochio, but thank goodness we we&#039;ll be &quot;reasonable&quot;.  

I think I&#039;ll go check out that Kentucky Creationist Museum someday.  It may not be accurate, but it&#039;s at least backed by something inerrant and eternal (unlike man from Mars aliens, Piltdown Man and manmade global warming the &quot;reasonable&quot; ones of &quot;Big Science&quot; have given us) and the Church has no official say about it being definitely otherwise.  If these are just-so stories too, at least they will be closer to fact and you probably won&#039;t vote for eugenic mass-murderers bent on getting rid of &quot;useless eaters&quot; and the &quot;feeble-minded&quot; or crucifying their careers for having a different understanding of science or giving them Soviet-esque psychological counseling.  That truly is religulous.  

check out audiosancto.org sermons related to this.  The priest talking about it was trained as a scientist in this area.  There&#039;s also Jack Cashill&#039;s &quot;The Triumph of Design&quot; (neither know me well so they may not approve of this message).</description>

		<description>Great review!! Just one word I didn&#039;t like: implication. Implication means logical inference. Juxtaposing sensible religion with images of missiles is something much less--it&#039;s specious insinuation.</description>

		<description>Greg- great review. I do find Bill Maher wickedly funny (and have often suspected him of being a recovering Catholic). I plan to see the film eventually but I feel like I&#039;ve mostly heard this argument before and found that while many of the criticisms are deserved--there IS an awful lot of ridiculous religion flying around after all, especially of late--as you&#039;ve pointed out, the conclusions are extreme.</description>

		<description>This is exactly the thing I would expect from Maher.  He has made a career out of being intolerant of any ones views or plight, afterall he once equated retarded children to animals.  I never have found him witty, let alone funny, and I wouldn&#039;t spend the money on this film.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the excellent review.  I haven&#039;t seen this film yet, but I heard Maher and Charles interviewed on NPR.  I&#039;ve always liked Maher for his intelligent and witty P. Incorrectness, and was rather saddened by his apparent decision in making this film to just ignore all of the light that &quot;good&quot; religion brought to the world, by focusing solely on the very real darkness that (fundamentalist) religion of all stripes breeds.</description>
