GLOBAL WARNING: "If you do not have a Bill Maher, please invent or clone one. IT WILL DO YOUR COUNTRY GOOD". We, in the US have the original and are very happy with him.

I read in Variety about a few advanced "RELIGULOUS" screenings in Claremont California, (August 2008) and immediately hoped in my car, drove 40 miles and rushed to see the film. Happy I did.

The film is sharp, intelligent, real, thought provoking, educational and it is HILARIOUS! Though, sometimes I was not sure ... if I should laugh or cry? Cry for the foolishness and ignorance of so many of us who believe or believed in those clowns up there on the big screen. Let's not call them clowns, because I like clowns, but call them opportunists or entrepreneurs. It is a free country, THEY can sell anything that looks right from the outside and rotten in the inside.

The film eloquently showing us, RELIGION: Business for Grabs....fast and easy. "Religulous" would have been 24 hrs long if he would have included all religions and sects, but tackled only the major organizations and a few odd groups like the Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda. You will have a hoot listening to this impostor.

I loved the film, and I am recommending to ALL who have some common sense and open to intelligent conversation. This film will open more dialog than The DaVinci Code, and hope it will make "semi-believers" question their faith or at least see that all this Religious Business is nothing else but, well... business. I only wish Bill and his creative team, would have mentioned the Inquisition and the multitude of evil crimes, these religions committed since their existence. Than again, THAT WOULD NOT BE FUNNY.

Religious+Ridiculous=Religulous. What a great title and only after I watched the film, I realized how ridiculous were "almost" all who agreed to be interviewed, how selfish, how brainwashed and irrational ready to tell the world how they and "only THEY" will be saved at the end. I say almost, because there were some great people, including Bill's mother and a few ex-religious folks, who give us a good insight of their past. All the way through the film, Bill kept us laughing and informing. Sometimes amazingly serious and sometimes just plain funny.

Have a good time, go see, rent or buy the DVD. But caution: It is not for the already brainwashed poor souls or religious fanatics! They will get angry, shout, speak in tongs (like in the film), they will hear voices from god or find 1 million ridiculous answers for all Bill's questions. It is recommended for intelligent people, period.
