Wow - even an atheist gets it right!
New film coming out called Religulous -here’s the trailer from youtube!
I was following the trail after seeing the trailer for Religulous on the Apple site and ended up on disbeliefnet where there is an article called “Jesus and His Magic Kingdom“. So, I start reading and was pleased to see and I agree with the author over the following (minus some of the hyperbole!).
After hanging around at his house until he was 30 years old, Jesus struck out on his own, and his act soon gained a strong following. As his entourage grew larger, and more dependent on him to make them look cool, he decided to mix in a few lessons he picked up from his real dad. He taught them some doctrines of faith, like charity, compassion, non-violence, tolerance and love – values that the church established in his name would selectively forget about centuries later.
The part that I love though is the last sentence! I couldn’t agree more with this statement! Great stuff! Not sure about the rest of the site or the movie (although the movie does look good and has some great moments in the trailer where it explores the above statement, especially all the showy, glamorous “Christian” and religious figures yhe world.

No Comments »Food Matters
A very good mate of mine recently sent me to a new website he had come across while researching nutrition for his family. They have had to make some major adjustments in their eating to accommodate allergies - but they feel they are better off for it, health wise.
Anyway, the site is called FOODMATTERS and is basically set up to sell and promote the film, Food Matters by two nutritionists turned filmmakers, James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch. They ask if we are sick and tired of the confusion surrounding food and want to feel good and prevent or reverse illness and disease? I answered yes, and I am sure many folk would too.
Here’s the films trailer. The website has a better quality version, as well as having the ability to screen the video over the web, or order a DVD.
Big Buck Bunny - Very Funny!
Thanks to a blog that I read - No Fat Clips - I discovered the very funny and delightful open source software-produced short film - “BIG BUCK BUNNY“. The short follows Big Buck Bunny as he awakes from a sleep to enjoy a beautiful day on the meadow, sniffing flowers and being entranced by butterflies, but his day is about cgange when he meets the spiteful squirrels!The film was produced to highlight the open source software - Blender - and the production took place in the Netherlands with a team from around the world. I screened it on my Mac for the wife and kids - and had the three kids roaring with laughter, not to mention my wife was laughing with the kids! The film is a delight to watch and an amazing credit to the software and team that that made it.
The film has a pretty comprehensive website with news about the film and it’s production. So, worth checking out! They are also selling a DVD of the film - but in my view the price is waaay too high for the short film and the extras they have included. Come on guys - don’t be too greedy!
But be sure to download the film and enjoy it with your kids (and spouse!). The film has a Creative Commons Licence and is available in multiple formats and sizes! Spread the word and enjoy the film - I would love to hear your thoughts about it.
