here comes "religulous" - and here comes trouble

I've always liked Bill Maher. He's hilarious and usually very perceptive. I even didn't think the quote from the 911 era that got him fired from his show at the time wasn't particularly untrue or offensive. He has never been one to skirt controversy but with his new movie he is darn near begging controversy to run him over with a bus.

he's go the usual movie website with the trailer:

and then he's also got this site http://www.disbeliefnet.com/ - a parody of beliefnet.com, which is actually quite a moderate forum for believers of all sorts that i think makes a real effort to balance the fundies and the liberals and ration them out equal space. for instance i always really liked this post on beliefnet - 'I Prayed for Their Souls Since I Could Do Nothing for Mine'
The story of a Russian Orthodox priest with a drinking problem--and a special ministry.
By Kyriacos C. Markides


expect to hear tons and tons of controversy over this film, espescially as talk radio and Fox News will end doing their usual service as free advertising in the name of moral outrage.
