Super Size Me did it to fast food. Now The God Who Wasn't There does it to religion. Holding modern Christianity up to a bright spotlight, this eye-opening documentary asks the questions few dare to ask. "Did Jesus even exist?" is just the beginning for The God Who Wasn't There. Your guide through the world of Christendom is former fundamentalist Brian Flemming, joined by such luminaries as Jesus Seminar fellow Robert M. Price, author Sam Harris and historian Richard Carrier. In addition to the film, which won the Best Documentary award at the 2005 Grassroots Cinema Film Festival, this feature-packed DVD includes: -Special commentary tracks with Richard Dawkins and Earl Doherty -Over one hour of compelling additional interview footage -An in-depth Web-enabled slide show -Music from the soundtrack -Bios of all participants This provocative DVD takes off the gloves and gives religion an unprecedented, no-holds-barred examination. So hold on to your faith. It's in for a bumpy ride. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Save your money...Save your money and watch for free the same material but in much greater detail on the Internet by doing a search for the movie Zeitgeist. (It was on YouTube last time I looked) (Slight warning though - only the 1st Chapter deals with religion...the rest discusses 911 so at least watch it for the 1st Chapter) I was disapointed in spending the amount of money for something that was done for free and better quality. I am at least grateful to Amazon because they had it for alot less than ... Read More Rating:  - This DVD Makes Me Ashamed to be an AtheistBeing an atheist is supposed to be about reason. What's reasonable about making an assertion about a topic, assembling one-sided evidence and not giving the other side a reasonable opportunity to defend itself? The creator of this documentary lists a couple of Bible quotes taken out of context, interviews a bunch of laypeople to defend the existence of Jesus Christ and brings in his own carefully selected experts to support his position. He never interviews a SINGLE biblical historian, archeologist ... Read More Rating:  - A personal storyI saw a excerpt of this film on youtube, containing a well produced juxtaposition of two individuals, one a devout evangelical, the other a confirmed atheist. It was so profound to see the gulf between the two that I chose to purchase the film to see more of the same. Unfortunately, not all of the film was cut from the same cloth. While thought provoking, with some excellent interviews, I was left with the feeling that this was much more a film about the producer/filmmaker and his issues ...

I used to be a Christian until I read the Bible. If you watch this movie you will know more about Christian history than basically any Christian you will ever meet. A few people who watch this may be provoked to use their intelligence and reason. Rating: - Nothing newI have read a fair amount on atheist literature and found very little new material in this film. What prompted me to buy this were the debates on youtube between Sam Harris and various fundamentalists which I found very interesting, but I was disappointed that Harris' commentary in the film was not as insightful as other things I've heard him say. The documentary is filmed in a somewhat old school way that was slightly bothersome and the narrators voice is pretty monotonous which was a let down. Also, ... Read More |
