To be honest, this is the first time Ive heard of this documentary and I doubt that it will be shown in my local cinema, so probably no. Maybe Ill watch it sometime later, when the DVD comes out.
“The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.” – Christopher Hitchens
