Religion's a controversial subject at the best of times, and HEXUS.community members are no strangers to sparking religious debates.

Well, if you think the usual debates are controversial, wait 'till you take a look at the trailer for Bill Maher's 2008 documentary, Religulous:

Bill Maher is well known for his stance against religion, but we probably don't even need to comment on this one. Over to you, dear readers, are you looking forward to seeing Religulous? Share your thoughts in the HEXUS.community forums.

I think it'll be interesting to watch, but won't pose any new or different ideas. It'll probably be more funny than informative, much in the same way as when channel 4 (i think) did a documentary on the most hated family in america rather than when Richard Dawkins did his series of programs.

I just like watching the faces of theists change as he compares god to something completely ridiculous like santa.

If its a funny, well thought out piece of film-making then I'll be interested; if it's just there to blast religion then I'm afraid I don't see the point: it's just as bad as religious enthusiasts trying desperately to defend a useless tradition. Most educated people are smart enough to make their own minds up about religious belief.

How can you even start to compare Santa to God!!!!

I mean for a start Santa is real.

Talk about making sweeping generalizations. Naturally all religions, all the people that practice or have any faith must be severely disillusioned. Riiiiight. I dig that.

Haha, that looks good. Mainly just to watch the reactions he gets. Also, the line:
'Gay muslim activists - Thats one job description'
Kinda hooks it for me :p
