Since Prince said his favorite show is Real Time with Bill Maher as per another thread on here?

I'm still shocked P likes Maher, an atheist.

Could be that Prince is less prejudiced than you!

I am an atheist, and I like Prince.

That aside, I doubt that Prince would go see Religilous, even if he likes Real Time. When I watch Real Time, Maher does not focus the entire show on religion, rather politics. If you are religious yet you find Maher entertaining or like his politics, you might be inclined to watch his show and suffer through the randomly placed criticisms of religion. However, an entire movie based on his religious criticism would not be as enjoyable of a view.

I was married 2 an atheist...and I never could understand why the atheist did not see an intricate design...and a point of origin the desing must have been born from...GOD. Even though we disagreed, I was thankful he loved our children.

Really cannot believe this

Real Time is one of my favorite shows too, but I don't really want to see Religulous.

Discussing politics and discussing religion are two totally different things. Most political arguments can be proven or disproven, but religion is faith-based and personal.

I'm an atheist as well. I went to see another movie and watched abt 15 mns of Religilous b4 the other started. It was entertaining. I don't think Prince would go see it however. From his point of view, it would be totally counter-productive. I went to a taping of Real TIme too. It was AWESOME! Well...to be honest...it was just like watching it on TV. Tho Bill's college roommate came out and warmed us up. That was cool.

Anyone with an open mind would watch Religulous. It's a great movie and didn't shake my faith in God. I would have loved to be interviewed by Bill.

I agree with the counter-productive angle. Some of my semi religious friends told me that I should have seen the Passion, but I said that there was no use. One, I don't care for blood and gore, and that was present throughout the entire movie. Plus, the movie was not intended for non-Christians; just like Religulous is not intended for believers.

I believe Religulous was aimed towards believers. Otherwise, Bill is preaching to the choir.

ditto...din't wanna be the one to burst his bubble.


I also wanna say that, wouldn't seeing "The Passion" have reaffirmed the guilt aspect of the religion, further entrenching it into your psyche?

BobGeorge909 said:

I don't know what the hell Gibson was trying to accomplish with that movie. But considering what his drunk heart spoke, he definitely was looking for Jewish guilt.

Vendetta1 said:

well, just looking at it w/lo the guise of religion, it's an excellent movie. Technically, artistically, well the story is ages old, so that was very familiar and what not. It was a terrific movie for movies sake. What it caused and what his motivations were, I don't know...but he made a good movie. I'm an atheist and he succeded in make me feel guilty....That was the worst beat-down =ever put on film...that whip with the hooks in it...OUCH!.....I winced a many good times and closed my eyes on occasion.

BobGeorge909 said:

I'm a believer and it didn't make me feel guilty. I thought it was two hours of pointless violence with a story that has been filmed too many times to count.

I'm sure Prince watches Real Time for the same reasons the rest of us do...THE GUESTS!!
While Bill is an amusing atheist, his Catholic upbringing coupled with his desire for and lust for the ladies no doubt led him to the atheistic path as I no doubt think some ultra hot chick will evidently lead him to the spiritual path, Prince is ultimately too cool to be interviewed by Bill and it will never happen! But if it did...I'd pay to see that shit! And yes, I think Prince saw Religulous and became even more religulous!

I think Prince likes Bill Maher for the same reasons he likes Dave Chapelle, they are both funny guys.

2freaky4church1 said:

He's agnostic, not atheist. Maher doesn't say God doesn't exist, he says he doesn't know if a God exists.

Vendetta1 said:

I'm not particularly reliigous but I was raised going to church. I have seen countless reenactments of Christ's life and of His final days, and most of them I'd consider better than The Passion. Gibson's movie was 2 hours of pointless unnecessary gore. I could go to one of the Saw movies for that, thanks.

meow85 said:

Haha. I agree. It was a glorified snuff film. The creepy rendition of Satan was barely seen, and there was nothing interesting depicted of Jesus and his teachings.

well...whatever...I thought it was a good movie.

PurpleKnight said:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was always taught that the point was what Jesus taught and the message he's supposed to have brought, and finally that he died. Focusing on how he died and glamourizing and brutalizing the scene, while ignoring the message of salvation and love, is missing the point completely.

But then, someone who goes around cussing out Jews -especially considering Jesus himself was Jewish -has obviously missed the point. So it goes without saying, I guess.

if all u saw was a snuff film...i'm sorry...I was always under the impression that there was more to Jesus' death than death...it was a transformatin and a new begginging. So...if all u saw was snuff....what can mell do about that....there was more to the film than a beating, a crucifix and death. I cans ee that and I'm not even religious...in ANY form.

BobGeorge909 said:

Really? I don't even remember what else happened in the movie aside from him getting the hell beat out of him.

meow85 said:

Gibson reminded people how much Christ actually suffered at the hands of humanity when it was all FOR humanity. People tend to forget how abused he was. They get all caught up in the Jesus Christ Supertar version of him and the nice fluffy children sunday school stories. Its funny how when people see instances of violence, either on the news or in some biographical nature, they can't handle it but then they go see movies like SAW and Friday the 27th and its all good fun and laughs. As a whole, the human race is mentally ill.

DesireeNevermind said:

i can handle it. I just thought it was pointless. When I go see Saw or any other gory movie, then I know it's just for laughs.

Prince is a movie freak. Prince seems open to seeing movies on just about any subject. He's probably worn out his copy of Brokeback Mountain.

Prince would look like a fool on Maher's show, reasonably so.

I would look like a fool on Maher's show and I'm one of his biggest fans.

Hello squirrel. I really dig you. I've been meaning to tell you all this time.

DesireeNevermind said:

Mel said that as violent as that movie was, in real life it was probably more violent. He went only as far as needed to get the point across that Jesus endured all of that for us. Previous movies about His life are sugarcoated at the end, for sure.
