Paint it any way you want, but this film is about Major Self Delusion...


Fascinating, very well done documentary much less about "faith" than about "Major Self Delusion" (yes, with caps).

I knew in the first 10 minutes that the people in the film were doomed to failure & really hadn't a clue about filmmaking... let alone about making a film on such a grand scale as the one they set out to make.

While they do mean well, they are absolutely, painfully, pitifully clueless.

Decide for yourself whether the pastor in the movie is relatively harmless or not.

Watched a Sundance tape of A of 1 today. Afterwards, couldn't help but flash back to NPH's lyrics in "Dr Horrible's Singalong Blog":
Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that humankind has gone insane
To the point where I don’t know
If I’ll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the water main

Faithful congregationalists, sorry, but next time charismatic scammers gift Koolaid during services, please Please, PLEASE, run screaming from the church. Or not, if you'd rather to die in the service of evolutionary species cleansing.

Totally agree, this guy was so clueless it's actually sad and more than that it's Pathetic. Never seen a movie till he was 40 years old? Gimme a break! Then he thinks he can make one? Um, no. A 18 year old kid who has been watching them before he can talk could probably do a better job than this well-meaning idiot, because that's what he is. Pastor or not, he sure is an arrogant, clueless, moron. He reminds me of the kid in school who doesn't have any idea how ridiculous or stupid he is no matter what people tell him.

Clueless are you *beep* kidding me? The guy knew 1000% what he was doing at did it to perfection. His goal was never to create films or to execute the vision of god. His goal was and still is to this day to fool people into lining his pocket and those who know him know his pockets are VERRRRRY VERRRRRRRRY well lined.

"and those who know him know his pockets are VERRRRRY VERRRRRRRRY well lined."

Not anymore. Do you know him? Spill.
