Fantastic. I've been looking forward to this.

Too bad it will likely not come to Japan for a while.

Bill Maher, Michael Moore don't make documentaries, they make opinion peices and edit the facts to prove a point they had before they began filming. Bill may be funny, but he's not truthful.
You definitely have a point, but they aren't the only ones guilty of distorting the facts. Look at Expelled (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1091617/), the documentary about Intelligent Design.

Pretty much. It was just questions on rationality and religion...the talking snake, 900 year old men, and boats full of 2 of each animals... Jesus camp was the only one that I've seen before this one. This wasn't about any one religion. The Vatican Pope was really interesting. His view on the bible as just stories was surprising to say the least. The pot head religion guy was really funny as well.

Y'know, I probably agree with everything Bill Maher says in the movie (never saw it) but man... I can't stand that guy. Unrefined loudmouth, the Bill Oreily of the left (forgot who said that but truer words.... never spoken). I remember watching a clip of Richard Dawkins on his show and Maher just seemed like a crude idiot trying to impress the 'cool kid' on the playground. "Well richard do you think people believe in it 'cause... OH WHO AM I KIDDING IT'S PFFFFF RIDICULOUS HAHAHAHA AMIRITE?!"

Fuck sakes why not just pull down your pants and slap your arse while making insult jokes.

Arg. Sorry for the rant. He's just annoying.

Bill Maher is bangable but his comedic style is like a sledgehammer. It's a strange thing to witness this kind of spiritual polarisation (which, arguably, was started and is largely driven by the pro-religious side of things) from outside the US where things such as Catholic Clergy saying "They're just stories" is fairly commonplace*. Richard Dawkins did a similar TV series in Britain, I believe, which is probably less entertaining but also less obnoxious.

*Ken Ham excepted. I apologise on behalf of my country and state for Ken Ham. We are deeply, deeply sorry.
