I want to watch that about as much as I want a snowball to the dangly bits.

Is that Viking foreplay?

Hey, whatever floats your Skuldelev, as long as you don't dock it in my harbor.

No. It's a film. I can't comment on the content. And won't be wasting my time watching it.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

I read the book, way back when.  To call it unconvincing would be kind.  I really wish apologists would learn the counter-arguments before they make the arguments, and then present their arguments only if they actually have something brand new.  It would save so much time and paper (or film, in this case).

I don't think the idea is ever to convince the unbeliever with better arguments, but instead to milk the herds ($$$) of believers that buy this kind of stuff to find validation for their beliefs.

I know I should not be surprised by the dishonesty, but still . . . tsk.
