"The God Who Wasn't There" documentary

I rented this from Netflix. I'd say it's just OK! The filmmaker was raised Christian and educated in a Christian school. He's a former "born again" and obviously has an axe to grind with that community and specifically, with the superintendent of his former school. I actually found the scene where he interviews this superintendent to be quite boring and I fast-forwarded through it. He just kept trying to trip the man up. Like it isn't pointless for an atheist and a Christian to have a... uh, "discussion." The focus of the film is to examine incongruities in the New Testament that the filmmaker feels reveal its fallacy. He asks a few people coming out of a Billy Graham crusade if they know how early Christianity spread after the crucifixion of Jesus (of course they just generalize and really don't make any valid points). He has a few academics talk about the Bible from historical and literary standpoints. It's somewhat interesting in that respect. In the DVD extras, the longer interviews with these people are better than the documentary itself. Ultimately, this film is just the particular aspects of Christianity that this particular filmmaker has issues with. OK, fine, take that for what it is. For me, the film dealt with the minor points that are irrelevant when you consider the far more significant matters that tell us the world isn't being run by a deity---like evolution, physics, and just plain rational thought. Any Joseph Campbell book or a visit to a museum of natural history is more thought-provoking than this film.
