Yes, when there are factual distortions and problems in the movie.
If you didn't know any of that or the degrees of severity, then to some effect you are more educated on the subject than you were prior to watching the documentary, right?
If a person selectively chooses passages from the bible to support their anti-homosexual agenda, would you say they are educating people on the bible?

Yeah why not.

I dislike the man but who else is making whinny films on these topics?

Like double spacing in a variable width font in html. It's child abuse that dinosaurs force children to do such a useless unnatural thing.

Is it as important as some guy who sawed off two of his fingers and had to chose which to keep? Nah. But if some whinny douchebag doesn't bring up the topic, people will be double-pressing the space bar for no reason until the extinction of humanity.

I don't think you see what I'm saying. Is it educational for someone to find out that there are passages in the bible that people can use to support anti-homosexual agenda? Sure, you learn something new every day.

I've never read the bible, so consider me enlightened.

I get what you're saying, but there's a difference between learning about someone's agenda and learning about a subject. You're not really learning about the bible when you visit godhatesfags, you learn what the douches at the WBC want you to know because they want you to agree with them.

I have spent a lot of time watching Boston Legal and Law and Order. As such I pretty much have the justice system figured out and I give free legal advice.

The Bible is capitalized and don't forget it unless you want to spend the years before the end of ages as a pillar of salt.

I liked the passage where Hercules and Jesus tag-team and kill a lot of Roman soldiers with just a whip to protest high taxes.

That sounds a lot more pleasant than having your face melted off or being raped to death.

I just read the part about where you're supposed to put your poop during wartime. However, it did not go into detail on wiping. Was wiping invented yet?

Also old military basic training had a section on how to use toilet paper. Some regions of the country didn't know how to use the sea shells, you see.

An amusing extreme, but a tad unfair.

I thought Capitalism was an excellent film and I'd urge people to see it. I don't believe it presents a series of incorrect facts, even if might offer skewed sentiment.
