weary traveler Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 This is an absolutely superb DVD. BUY IT! Yeah, it's good. I have a copy as well. It's best part is showing the similarities between the stories ascribed to Jesus and those ascribed to past "savior-gods". The parallels are amazing.

YDOAPS Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Google appears to have removed the video you embedded. It's worth the money. Not really. Some of the bible verses are misquotes and a lot of the facts are a bit off. His bias is more than obvious. The whole purpose for the film seems to be "they hurt me, so I'm going to hurt them." As such, it appears that the movie was rushed; either that, or he didn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, it appears that the movie was rushed; either that, or he didn't care. I've only watched some excerpts from it on YouTube. I think the film has great merit because although there are many people who are aware of atheism, and even the whys and wherefores of atheism, these guys go one step further. Jesus never existed. There was no such physical guy. For me that was such a cold shock. It's one thing to have Dan Brown's talking bollocks about Magdalene and templars and such, but to be shown the idea, logically, rationally and coldly that there never was a man Jesus is just HUGE. It has bias. It has flaws, but it's powerful stuff. For all the fence sitters who do the "OK the church has done some bad stuff thru history, but the teachings of Jesus are sound" This is a smack in the teeth. It is possible that there never was a Jesus. Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, it appears that the movie was rushed; either that, or he didn't care. There is an FAQ which addresses the Luke 19:27 and Hebrews 8:4 quotes to my satisfaction. These do not seem to be misquotes. http://www.thegodmovie.com/faq.php There are quotes in the movie where he quotes two very close sentences in a long historical document and combines them into one quote without providing the "..." to indicate that irrelevant text was taken out. That is the only complaint that I have. The movie seems to be targeted at former Christians. I do not see a Christian sitting comfortably though that movie, but then again, I do not see a Christian sitting comfortably though any movie that challenges their faith, so the movie does not attempt to "make nice." It still seems well worth it to me; unless if you have already escaped the clutches of religion and are knowledgeable about early Christianity.
