I’ve only seen the trailer, but I hope I will be able to see the movie. The premise of the movie is simply someone going to 23 different countries asking the question, “What is God?”
Hugh Jackman is in the video and states that if you put a bunch of religious leaders (Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, etc.) at a table he “can’t see them having an argument.” This sentiment sounds great as people try to build bridges between people of different religions, but it is empty and won’t work. They would have arguments (read the New Testament and see how Jesus argued against the religious leaders of his day). My point is that arguments don’t negate peace. In fact, I believe that true peaceful dialogue between people of different faiths depends on having people who will be honest enough to tell someone else that he or she is wrong, but to do it in a respectful, honorable, and loving way.
I’m not offended when someone tells me wrong if he has first listened to me and sought to understand me. I welcome such honesty. It gives me freedom to say what I was already thinking, “You’re wrong!” 
Another thing that looks interesting is that the filmmaker doesn’t just ask religious experts. I like the idea of asking regular people about their concept of God.

Hey Dustin. I agree being honest about disagreements is good, but it is frustrating how hard it can be sometimes.
I recently heard about some interesting developments in neuroscience that I thought of after seeing your comments. It seems we are hardwired to be closed minded. Here is what a study found based on brain studies: When people hear arguments/evidence that disagree with their convictions – It is not their reasoning/analytical part of the brain that is active/stimulated. Rather, it is the “fight or flight” part of the brain. So when someone disagrees with me, I don’t think much, I just get angry or run away. Also, when we hear evidence/arguments that agree with us, our pleasure part of the brain is stimulated (again, not the reasoning part of the brain). This study seems to me to be correct for some people, but not very true for others. (Though, I think the study says everyone’s brain has this same natural tendency).
Wow. This will be very interesting to watch. I’m a Christian, so I believe in the infinite, perfect Creator God of the Bible, who punishes sin, but who also sent His Son to redeem people to Himself. It’s sad how people don’t have any distinct sense of God, but rather abstract ideas (“God is a space”, “I’ve seen God in people”, etc).
Any ideas who the older Christian man is, who speaks from 1:20-1:22 in the video?
