Watching this video makes me feel like the seemingly intemperate language some people use about religionists is fully justified. The ignorance and stupidity displayed is staggering. It is particularly striking the way such ignorance and stupidity is accompanied by such absolute certainty and ridiculous claims of knowledge.
I think, though, it may be a good thing that HBO has made this, as it may get some people to have a better understanding of what is going on.
Edited to add:
To those who feel the need for some further explanation of my first paragraph, think about that idiotic claim about 2 +2 possibly equalling 5, if it were in the Bible. If you watched the video, you should not need further context for this.
