The first part of the film was pretty enjoyable, though peppered with the unnecessary and unappealing vulgarity that Hollywood seems to throw into every PG-13 comedy. About halfway through, though, during a long and uncomfortably sacrilegious scene, it became evident that the movie was actually born in a conversation by a bunch of Hollywood executives who consider themselves enlightened, creative intellectuals. "Let's make a movie," one probably said "that forcefully drives home the point that Christianity is a sham and organized religion is a myth that paternalistically exploits people. Oh, and let's package it as a comedy and get some big name actors, so people will actually watch it."
Such a disappointment...

That sucks! It could have been so good from the looks of it. I hate how many things these days rip on religion. And when this happens, no one says anything. But when someone says something about atheism, everyone freaks out about discrimination. Ok, I might be wrong but that's what it feels like, seriously. What I want to know is why can't we just all get along? We should just love each other. If half the people actually followed, and I mean really followed, the religion they professed, the world would be a much better place. Most religions look highly on being kind, even if they don't do it. Enough ranting your ear off.
Please Note: These are all my opinion and have almost no base in hard fact that I know of.
