The God Who Wasn't There

I like how in the video, christianity itself isn't put down but rather those "christain" induviduals who are so blind they will follow any dogma fed to them and those who look down at the "infidels" around them.

I don't like christains who bash science or scientists who bash christianity.

I like how connections are made to show some possibilities that people typically ignore blind to anything other than what they were force-fed as children.

I thought this thought provoking, in-plain-sight documentary was great. It approaches the Jesus myth in a sarcastic, funny way that hooked me from the start.
If you're having any doubts about being an atheist and haven't quite broken free from you life-long bible conditioning, this movie will give you the confidence you're looking for.
The [...] guy is the best.

I may have overestimated the intelligence and artistic ability when I rented this DVD. For some reason, I thought that it would be reminiscent of early Michael Moore stuff. At worst, I thought that the filmmaker would've at least put a little effort into the thing. I felt like I was watching a youtube video. It was too sloppy and they could've left most of the beginning out and maybe get more interviews in. The music was horrible. If you're prone to getting songs in your head, you'll keep hearing "...This is just a simulation, you are just an illustration..." long after the film's over.

My problem wasn't with the "meanness". I didn't really think it was too mocking. My problem was with the lack of mockery and creativity. More dramatic editing would help. A few jokes and maybe cartoons would help.
If you're going to have a documentary that has a message, you either go the serious route, or go a polemic Michael Moore style. This was just bland and confused.

This DVD is poorly done in every way. Between misquoting and taking scripture completely out of context, interviewing (on both sides) people who are not intelligent about what they are saying, and the goofy takes from old movies, this meager documentary shouldn't be taken too seriously by anyone...whether they agree or disagree with the conclusions put forth.

Most reviews miss the point. I'll keep it simple - the views presented here are stupid and unsubstantiated, like so many atheist viewpoints. The existence of Jesus Christ is far better documented, as is the development of the early church (and no, it's not a church secret), than the lives of the Roman emperors. When you attack strawman positions, mislead and fabricate on the facts, what do you get? This video. Did you really think that using the Jesus Seminar adds to one's argument, a group so discredited even within secular scholars. Don't waste your time, this video is made up mostly of re-packaged lies.
