Bill Maher's Religulous

[Fearless]

Sorry yeah, I meant the doco was in very similar style to a Michael Moore presentation... jumping around in scenes, getting in peoples comfort zones and then making them uncomfortable, road trips, constant reflection, talking etc.

Its a shame the film mentions the Horus fallacy. Horus wasn't born from a virgin, didn't have 12 disciples and a resurrection is very debatable. Osiris was the one who came back to life.

Glad you liked it

Aussiedwarf I don't know those particular stories myself, but I'd have hoped given they used it as a significant point between scenes that they had researched it thoroughly. You have sparked my curiosity to check it out later as it sparked my attention at the time of watching it.

There is this reference to Horus's conception in bold.

Horus was born to the goddess Isis after she retrieved all the dismembered body parts of her murdered husband Osiris, except his penis which was thrown into the Nile and eaten by a catfish,[5][6] and used her magic powers to resurrect Osiris and fashion a gold phallus[7] to conceive her son. In another version of the story, Isis was impregnated by divine fire.[8] Once Isis knew she was pregnant with Horus, she fled to the Nile Delta marshlands to hide from her brother Set who jealously killed Osiris and who she knew would want to kill their son.[8] There Isis bore a divine son, Horus.

Isis managed to conceive Horus using a dildo?

Does the gold make the conception pretty immaculate, or akin to a gyno with a damn cold speculum?

I'll get me coat.

This article here seems to have come good information and concludes that Isis was considered a virgin. Looks like my original research in the matter was not as thorough as I would have liked.

I think Google Vids is on par with YouTube... I might just look out for it on flea bay or something.
