Lawrence Krauss, virulent Atheist and anti-christian, is incensed at Hollywood. Apparently they told him that his film showing himself and Dawkins talking back and forth kicking Christianity around wouldn't sell well.
Well, Larry knows better, and thus it is that Larry understands now that Hollywood is hopelessly anti-Atheist, catering to religions and producing evil movies like Noah, and all these other bible movies that people will actually go to see.
It truly is tough being an Atheist in Hollywood, according to Larry. Maybe he should try a soft porn version. That would be suitable for prime time TV.
Maybe if he named the film some fraudulent name, like he did his book...

Exhibit 1:
A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing [Lawrence M. Krauss]
Exhibit 2 (from the referenced article):
Referencing a recent study carried out by Canadian and American psychologists that showed that atheists were "the least trusted of all listed categories aside from rapists," Krauss claimed that society as a whole tended to esteem religious individuals and had often "equated questioning the existence of God with being a bad person.
Exhibit 3:
The massacre of the proletariat by atheist regimes (with estimated body counts as high as 100 million, not counting abortion statistics) during the last 100 years.
It never seems to occur to "logical" atheists that the practical ramifications of their belief system "might" have something to do with the lack of trust.
I've often pondered...will Atheism eventually reach it's twilight? It seems that the movement (Dawkins etc) will go down into extinction kicking and screaming.
Blacksmith,
It appears that Atheism is the next step on the descent into animalism. Note their pride in declaring that all are Atheist when they are born, by which we can infer that the most ignorant and animalistic characteristics are valued by Atheists.
Witness the difference between the French Revolution and the American Revolution, where the French Atheists went on a mass murdering war against their enemies, purging even those suspected of having different beliefs.
And that was Lenin's model. I don't think Mao needed a model to guide his massacres.
Robert,
There is one more exhibit as well. Atheists have no principles except those which they make up. So whatever they make up is volatile and transient as well as created in the image of the Atheist. There are no fixed (absolute) principles under Atheism.
So just knowing that a person is an Atheist is to know this one thing about that person: his principles can't be either known or fixed. And that goes for both moral principles as well as rational principles.
It would be irrational to trust an individual about whom you know only that s/he is an Atheist.
Here is another source I stumbled upon:
"There seems to be a belief that theology must simply be delusional, because there is no objective supernatural existent corresponding to the word ‘god’ — or at least that no “slam-dunk” arguments can be produced for such an existent. Consequently, it has become fairly normative to believe that religion has to do with “confected” entities, and religious thought itself not only delusional but even pathological. (Boghossian — in his book on making atheists — repeats the accusation that faith is pathological in his book so often that one is reminded of the George Orwell’s 1984, or the common practice in the Soviet Union of placing dissidents in psychiatric hospitals. There is a deeply threatening aspect to the belief that those whose ideas you oppose are somehow mentally ill, or victims of pathological ways of thinking in need of a cure.)"

Their worldview is that they are right; everyone else is wrong; they are moral; everyone else is immoral; they are rational; everyone else is irrational. There is a single step to the concept that those who cannot be converted should be eliminated; between reductionist and eliminationist.
I was just reading another example of Humanists gone wild. In Maryland the American Humanist Association has targeted another war memorial, one that stood for 90 years, for obliteration because it offends their sense of aesthetics. Hauling out the tired, old, illogical saw that a stone cross on state land being tantamount to establishment of a single religion, another gaggle of litigious happy atheists seek to purge any icon that might invoke spiritual feelings.
That an icon can fulminate so much angst, so much hatred, and so much rage in Atheists is a clear demonstration of their mental state. To paraphrase Animal Farm "Atheism gooooood. Religion baaaaaad."
Also, as Stan rightly pointed out, the Atheist is always droning on about non-religious morality, and empathy, but then they are so obtuse as to say "We are born Atheists" not recognizing the nature of children before they are civilized. My daughter at 22 months has no empathy, she wants what she wants and she'll try to claw out your eyes if you take it from her. That's Atheism in a nutshell, but the vanguards of Atheism either can't, or won't, admit that to themselves.
It's no secret that Hollywood is more anti-Christianity than anti-Atheism.Christians are usually portrayed as being irrational,anti-science and backward hillbillies.
I hope they make a movie about the father of empirical science and Christian,Sir Francis Bacon.Surely that would outrage Larry more than a movie about Noah.
