What an awful idea for a movie/festival


I'm watching it now for the ironic value, it's hilariously awful. It's like watching a car wreck.

A car wreck can be more hilarious though. I watched it on Netflix not knowing it was a Christian, i.e. bad show. My bad.

I politely disagree. For my tastes, as a Progressive Christian, it was a wonderful breath of fresh air and belly-laughs. I love comedy and give appropriate nods to groundbreaking acts like George Carlin, Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks, but the "I'm pissed" acts wear tiresome after a while. At least in this show I didn't have to listen to foul-mouthed, angry, and drug-addled men and women who think they are cool because they can curse a blue-streak and put down religion with ease. Curious to note, however, is that comedians will usually attack Jesus and Christianity vehemently, but seem frightened to say anything bad against Islam's founder, Mohammad, probably because Christians forgive their tirades as the utterings of the unwashed, whereas attack Mohammed and you'll get your head cut off!

I long to see someone like Anti-Theist Ricky Gervais depict Mohammed's image as he attacks the religion of Islam. Islam scares the beJeebers out of Atheist comedians!
