My main motivation in seeing the film is simple curiosity. The film will probably cause some distress within the religious community and I'd like to know something about the object of their hostility. That's the main reason I read "The God Delusion", "God is Not Great", etc. I have no particular interest in seeing religious people look stupid on film. If I based my views on Maher's personal authority, then I might perhaps be disturbed by his other irrational beliefs, but I don't, so I'm not. A person who defines himself primarily by "atheism" rather than "rationality" seems to be as likely as any theist to pick up silly beliefs, which is why I'm not particularly evangelistic about atheism. I do think, however, that undermining religious beliefs does provide a window of opportunity for the injection of a rational worldview. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Memphis Freethought Alliance" group.
