Guilt by Self-Association.

Haloscan runs blogads, and one for a film The God Who Wasn’t There has been running for over a week now. It advertises itself as a film exploring the idea that Jesus never actually existed, with blurbs from Newsweek and other reviews. I decided (being an atheist) that I’d click on the link just to see the site. Here’s the image that comes up:

This is a film that proclaims, “Bowling for Columbine did it to the gun culture. Supersize Me did it to fast food. Now The God Who Wasn’t There does it to religion.”

Right.

Bowling for Columbine lied about the gun culture. Blatantly.

Supersize Me lied about fast food. Blatantly.

So The God Who Wasn’t There lies too? And it isn’t lying about religion, it’s lying about Christianity – so even its advertisement is lying through misdirection!

No link to the page. I’m not giving these assholes a thing but my scorn.

(For the record, I’m fairly certain that Jesus of Nazareth was a real person. On the topic of his divinity, I’m somewhat less sanguine.)
