Bill Maher comes across as a god in this movie. He is a really really smart guy and comes across not as a pompous no-it-all, but instead as the voice of reason and encourages people to question things that simply don't make sense. The main problem here is that this is a two part movie of hilarious comedy and a serious reflection of the damaging impacts of religion on society. The movie cant figure out how to get those to blend. They follow up a Brokeback Mountain joke with a video of suicide bombers, and my mind couldn't jump back and forth and take each part the way it was intended. This feels like two great different movies that have been mashed together and damage each others effectiveness. Talking to Jesus was hilarious though.
