I thought it was pretty good.

That was pretty good actually - and very low budget too. The start was a bit crap, a bit 'I'm trying to be like Michael Moore' (not necessarily a good thing in my book!) - but once we started getting to the meat of the issue it was very informative. Especially the interview with mad christian headmaster - I thought I had it bad in an Irish Catholic school!

I would have preferred a more in depth look at the historical documentary evidence/lack thereof of Jesus' existence - and a bigger focus on the internal contradictions in the Bible, expecially discrepancies between the four NT Gospels, which are supposedly the 'Word of God' yet are inconsistent in places.

But still, a good film - one of the better recent documentaries I've seen. But I doubt it will hold any sway among the faithful.

Woah we musta just finished watching it at the same time!

Also, I'd like to see the special features on the DVD - but I'm too cheap to fork our for it!

I thought it was interesting, but very propagandic... using the ridiculously old footage, sped up, etc...

That's what I meant with the Michael Moore comparison. It should have been possible to do the film without overtly ridiculing christians - better yet let them do that themselves such as Mr. 'turn off the camera' Headmaster did to himself.
