Comments on: Review: Religulous http://www.atheistgeeknews.com/review-religulous-467.htm Created by an ex-Jehovah's Witness turned atheist, Atheist Geek News is both funny and moderately informative.

And I like your site, too. A lot of the stuff I see online by ex-Witnesses is heavy with the bitterness and light on helpful advice. Yours is not. Plus, you're an atheist too. How could I NOT link to your site? Glad to have you back for a visit. And I like your site, too.

How could I NOT link to your site?

Very nice! Most interesting to me was that Religulous seemed to track a movement in Maher's own thoughts. In the first part of the film, he kept trying to pull something authentically spiritual and ethical from the discussions - to make distinctions between the claims and something that could still be salvaged. By the end of the film, he had given up - the major beliefs and practices - and the ways that believers were manipulated - were so toxic that he could only condemn. It was worth it for me just to see Maher standing in Megiddo! I'm just waiting for someone to act out the script and send a blue-turbaned hack through the gates astride a donkey...
