I guess Maher released it to the net because I've heard it is on you tube too.

Incidentally, here's the YouTube playlist.

Edit: Nevermind. Half the videos have country restrictions and Lion's Gate has removed a couple others. Lame.

the guy at 45 minutes or so is HILARIOUS. hahahahaha.
"In our tenure of this planet, we have accumulated dangerous, evolutionary baggage -- propensities for aggression and ritual, submission to leaders, hostility to outsiders, all of which puts our survival in some doubt. We have also acquired compassion for others, love for our children, a desire to learn from history and experience, and a great, soa

I just finished watching it.  Can't say that I learned anything I didn't already know, but it was interesting to see how ignorant so many religious people are, with the logic of "well you just can't question God." Especially the senator, with "You don't have to pass an IQ test to be in the senate though."

I got about half way through it when a message popped up saying the vid in question was no longer available.

Enjoyed it immensely

You can view it here there is a pop up ad at the first click of the movie but no worries unless your a gambler and can't resist :pop:
To those who are overly cautious, everything seems impossible.

This movie is the atheist version of Expelled..

Also, isn't this piracy?

Which is what makes it worth watching! Not like Ben Stein's pseudo-scientific bag o' crap.

No more than telling someone where to buy cigarettes is considered smoking.

I'm asking if it's ethical to do so, not necessarily the legality of it.  This is a free-thinking forum.. is it ethical to post where to watch a copyrighted video?

In the meantime, I can watch the copy I have downloaded on my computer if I don't wanna watch the stream online.

Prayers that need no answer now, cause I'm tired of who I am
You were my greatest mistake, I fell in love with your sin
Your littlest sin.

While I agree with Maher's take on the subject and have no problem with a documentary pointing out the absurdities of organized religion, I really, really don't like the mechanic of sticking a person in front of a camera and then embarrassing them. I spent the whole time thinking Maher deserved a punch in the face. He, an experienced performer, points the camera at some Joe and Jane Average, mocks them, films them squirming under the spotlight, and then has final editing power over what parts of the interview are shown.

You want to do that to a major religious leader or authority figure, that's fine. That's what those priests or televangelists get paid the big bucks for, they're the spokespeople. But finding a bunch of truckers that are singing hymns on a Sunday morning and tearing them apart on camera is just not nice. I think he could have done a far better job making his argument by being more fair.  There's plenty of scholars out there that have studied religious doctrine for decades, but he feels more at ease interviewing trailer trash.

I don't like Maher either. I think that it isn't very smart, clever, or funny, and he is just a mocker. He doesn't make jokes, witty observations, or say anything clever, he just rolls his eyes, and mocks.

I can't stand his show either. I watch it occasionally to see guests that I like to keep track of their public appearances, and was particularly pleased when Christopher Hitchens was on his show, and said that his audience would laugh at anything, before flipping them off.

That's because Jesus without question would be at least a hardlining socialist, and are most a full on communist.
