Review of The God Who Wasn't There (2005) by Artur N — 12 Jun 2009
Granted, I'm on the opposite philosophical spectrum than Brian Flemming but this documentary is terrible. Mr. Flemmings bitterness toward religion is so evident that it seems to destroy any kind of rational or good discussion about the topic.
The premise that Jesus did not exist is incompetently investigated (and there is no good evidence for thinking that Jesus didn't exist). The claim that Christianity borrowed from pagan sources is not looked at in detail, which if it was, would have been mostly refuted but director Flemming seems content with disingenuousness.
Furthermore, Flemming seems content to try and pull a page out of Michael Moore's handbook in trying to catch a Christian school principal saying something crazy at the end of his film. This is a lame documentary.
