Girls in bikinis, oh, and a hilarious video, "Boycott Bill Maher"

A group called Rapture Right is promoting a "boycott" of Bill Maher's movie Religulous, a documentary critical of religion. (See Religulous trailer at end of post.) I actually recommend watching Part II (below) first. It is much shorter and funnier.

The goal of this boycott is unclear. At one point they speak of "banning" it internationally. In part two, the mention the idea of jailing Bill Maher without necessarily endorsing that idea. Whatever their point is, the first, less hilarious video is filled with such idiotic comments including:

• A deconstruction the production company's name, Lion's Gate. The say the name and icon imply that gates are opening to release the lions to prey upon the innocent.
• A comment that the movie is produced by the producer of Borat. They state Borat is a man who came to this country and is very anti-Jew, thus the producer is already anti-religion. Even if they did watch Borat, it is clearly over their heads.
• A clarification that many of Maher's clips are not even of Christians, that many of them are of other "fake" "weird" religions. "Yeah, obviously Christianity is the one true religion." says the long-haired religious nut. They continue to say Maher's movie is anti-Christian when it is really anti-religion. All religions. Their error demonstrates that the idea that Christianity is in the same category as "fake" and "weird" religions makes their heads explode.
• A claim that things spoken in tongues can be deciphered by Christians. Yes, they say this definitively and with a straight face.
• Speculation that if the world were filled with Jesus that instead of an overpopulation problem, there would be an "over love" problem. "If they could extract DNA from the shroud of Turin, they should start cloning Jesus."
• Assumption that because Bill Maher went into a gay bar and spoke with gays he must be gay.
• An analogy between Santa Claus and Jesus; Santa Claus could exist by giving presents through the parents.

Trevor Christian plays the rebellious activist in Part II of Boycott Bill Maher, "Beat on the Street." It starts out with the profound statement, "People say that change happens at a grass roots level... but below grass roots level, there's roots roots level and we're going to go around talking to those roots roots people." With a lot of heavy graphics, visual and sound effects, Trevor talks to the "roots roots people," including a lady sitting in her pick-up truck who couldn't care less, a Catholic who storms off, and a man who says that until you hear God speak to you, you'd probably think he's just imaginary. (Couldn't agree more.) The video ends with a lengthy trailer with soft emotional music and dramatic slow motion replays of some of those great moments of Beat on the Street none of us wants to remember, whoops, I meant forget.



And now for the girls in bikinis...

'In a new twist on an age old debate, two young nubile women in string bikinis fight poolside about the existence of God in a new video.

As Wagner plays, the camera seductively pans across their bodies as they fight in slow motion about whether God is great... "Too bad all atheist-theist debates aren't this entertaining," says one reviewer.

"Not just theology, this is how all debates should be," adds another.'
