With a movie that takes its name from combining words "religion" and "ridiculous" to form "Religulous," a funny poster is to be expected. [via /Film] Lionsgate has finally released one, which features Bill Maher's face on a piece of toast. This is referring to the many people finding the face of Jesus and Elvis on food. The tagline states "Do you smell something burning?"
The film follows Maher as he travels around the globe interviewing people about God and religion. Known for his astute analytical skills, irreverent wit and commitment to never pulling a punch, Maher brings his characteristic honesty to an unusual spiritual journey.
"Comedically, the topic of religion is hitting the side of a barn – it's literally hard to miss," said Maher. "This movie will make you laugh so hard you'll pray for it to stop."
Director Larry Charles (Borat) added: "Nietzsche said God is dead, but he didn't see the grosses for 'Passion of the Christ.'"

We just caught "Real Time" last night and Mos Def was on it cracking us up.
By the way, here's a good blog for atheists. This is the dude who sold his soul on ebay and he posts a lot of good stuff.

What're you doing up so early?
Julie has to get to work at 7 am, which is the same time JPX and I had to get to our greenskeeping jobs in high school. Could anything suck more? I think not, I think not.
Love that he's making fun of the face-toast thing. I especially dig the implication that someone found a piece of toast like that and then just went ahead and made a sandwich out of it. That's what I'd do.
Thanks Julie, just what I need... another atheist site to devour.
Good for Maher. We need movies like this to combat the faithful propaganda bullshit. One biologist - PZ Myers - was deceived into contributing his name to a film that supports intelligent design. He was told that it was a documentary on evolution. In the mood to get pissed off?

Ben Stein is another fundy whack-job as it turns out.
I have to change my hours.
Come to think of it, I need to quit my job.
"Could anything suck more? I think not, I think not."
It's sucks even way more when I wake Octo up to ask him where he put my car keys, and it turns out they're where I always put them.
How the hell are you able to wake Octo up? In my entire life Octo was unable to wake up in the morning. HOw're you dealing with the chainsaw-like snoring? Tempted to smother him with a pillow yet?
I wake him up with my three boobs.
As for the snoring, I wear earplugs. And sometimes I just sleep in another room, if it gets really ridiculous.
It often gets really ridiculous. Not Religulous, just ridiculous.
Ha! Three boobs!
LOL
Should have read backwards, I would have caught the three boobs comment earlier...
Still, very, very funny
