HELP Needed for Documentary project.
February 27, 2014 at 3:48 pm
I am currently researching and planning a new documentary that I will be making late spring.
The film will be exploring the correlation between internet growth and religious decline. In other words, how the freedom of information isn't healthy for religions.
The crew and I really could do with as much help as possible as the project is fully independent, we don't have any prior contact with big name atheists, we are funding this our selves and all while trying to do other jobs.
So if there is anything anyone could do to help this project please contact me.
We also now have a information booklet. If you are interested I can e-mail a copy of to you. Thanks.
I'd also love some input regarding the idea its self.
Would you had thought the net could have a negative impact on religious institutions? How much do thou think the internet has influenced your relationship or lack there of with faith?
Lastly, I'd like thoughts on the title:
'Why Google Killed God'

Though I appreciate what you're doing, I'd still like to point out that you are breaking the forum rules (please read them through!)
The Rules Wrote:No Advertising
Any advertisements in posts will be removed immediately. If you want to promote a product or service then please contact one of the administrators or moderators by private message first. This also applies to people conducting research or surveys. Whilst most in the community would be glad to help with such projects, we still would like you to get permission from the staff before posting. If you want to post your website, please adhere to the 30 days and 30 posts rule. This amount of time and number of posts shows that advertising is not your sole purpose on this forum. If the rule is not adhered to, the advertisement will be removed and you may be warned or banned.
But hey, if you have a month, stick around and I bet that you'll find at least some material worth using 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I'm not asking for money and the film is non-profit. Does asking for help on a project really count? I know it says about research but I could just be asking questions about the subject and no one would say anything.

I'm going to assume you want me to star as King Google in the re-enactments. I have my own sword if you want to keep costs down.

It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of the members putting effort into this site, and then comes along someone who wants to pick the fruit without giving anything back. AF.org is not an atheist hotspot to be utilized at anyone's leizure, if you want something from us, be prepared to contribute in turn. Besides, since we have plenty of shit and run spammers, who post surveys, ask help with projects and homework, we have to treat everyone equally and the rules are that you need to have posted a minimum of 30 posts and participated for at least 30 days to have the privilege.

I appreciate that and yes I do fall into that category but though convenient it may seem I honestly saw this as a way to get involved with this site.
My intentions for this film are purely educational.

Thank you for understanding, and welcome aforum!

Lastly, I'd like thoughts on the title:
'Why Google Killed God' Freedom of information is always going to hurt religious indoctrination, because it exposes people to other ideas. However, I've been an atheist all my life, so I can't say that it has personally influenced my atheism one way or another.
A more accurate title would be "How Google Killed God". Google itself is not sentient (although sometimes it feels that way), and cannot consciously "kill" anything, so it has no motivation behind "killing God".
If you need any help with editing, subtitling, etc. I am trained in digital media and can help you with that. I cannot get you any big name atheists to interview because I personally do not know any. I would suggest going to atheist conventions and just trying to corner the speakers and ask them if they'd be willing to be interviewed. You can also try emailing big names and calling them. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Holy shit that escalated quickly 0_o
Twas all going to be acting! I'm a great actor. So good I got banned from drama for pretending to kick a person! My sword isn't even sharp. It looks cool though.
I changed my mind. My acting services are no longer available. I'm going to make a pornographic version of King Arthur. Or not. Who knows
