Barak Obama needs to book it for White House movie night.  Then the
fundies would boycott it.   But right now they've got a big project on
their hands so they might be too busy to parade around multiplexes
carrying signs.

I don't get why people don't go see Ricky Gervais movies. But if it
gets him to do another tv series that'll be okay.

it is a very poor movie.  I like Ricky in stand up and extra's was funny as
hell but this movie had me teetering on the edge of sleep.

Bai Ling has a blog?  Why?  Is there any reason to search it out?

She wants to be your lover.

I gather there's a prehistoric scene that demonstrates the absence of
lying - otherwise we could suppose perhaps that the point of departure
was that in the aftermath of Nixon and Watergate, President Ford made
lying illegal - and the Supreme Court ruled that even religious bodies
were not allowed to make unsubstantiated claims, and thus put them all
out of business.

What happened in that prehistoric scene?

I would say that it would have reduce warfare be removing a major
motivation of warfare (no Crusades, no Catholic-Protestant wars in
Europe, no Northern Ireland conflict, no pogroms against Jews, etc).

A world without Islam would be a much-better place.
A world without Christianity would be worse.

Reduce, possibly. Eliminate, no. Romans never went to war for
religious reasons, nor were they particularly deceitful about their
intentions.

Would the Roman Empire have collapsed, if Emperor Constantine hadn't
made Christianity its official religion?

Yes.

Read TFOTRE.

And in any case, the Roman Empire survived until 1453, more then eleven
centuries _after_ the Conversion of Constantine. So if said conversion was
theb cause, it took a heck of a long time.

I had this discussion somewhere else online... religion isn't the only
reason to hate your neighbours.  You may dislike their cooking
smells.  (North Europeans tend to smell of milk, I think.)  You may
want to steal stuff that they have.  All of that is probably the main
real reason anyway, and not what the Jews did to Jesus (if you ask,
uh, the Romans).
In a world where we don't lie, and indeed, as shown, we are
insultingly frank, at least they'd know we were coming for them.
Whoever the "we" and "they" may be.

We'd probably just have more blatant racism. And that would replace
religion as the major cause for wars.
