I have several friends who are atheists and we can always chat on a civil basis about religion: rational and intelligent conversations without damage resulting. 

Interesting, I never seen a non-atheists really rational. The only point they are able to make is: "you cannot prove me wrong" that is a logical fallacy.
Sure, fortunately usually there is no damage...

I guess I am the only one who liked the 2005 version, and its sequel.
This one doesn't sound nearly as good.

While the 2005 movie (and the follow up) weren't really my kind of super hero movie, I do have to admit I found them entertaining enough in a sort of just switch off Mr Brain and enjoy kind of way.

I have trouble with any story concept that includes 'an anti-social programmer known as "Doom" online' as the villain.

Would it be so hard to give Dr. Doom the respect he deserves as world-threatening supervillain?

Yeah, I'm rather worried about that.  But they completely changed the character of the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 and it actually worked, and I'm almost as passionate about the character of the Mandarin as I am Dr. Doom.  Oh, my geekdom for a horse...

"Once weekly dosing": but they won't say dosing for what unless I click on the ad, which I'm not about to do.

"Buy Krugerrands today" and "Carshop.co.za".

No money for the first and I have a car, thanks. 

I just finished (I think) a four day debate with an atheist over the historical accuracy of the Gospels.
It was pretty intense.  Neither of us convinced the other of anything, but we each got our positions pretty well articulated
and kept it friendly.

I love a good discussion like that!

No, you're not alone. 

  I think the film is still shocking.

And it was banned in South Africa for nearly twenty years.

rev- they were insane during the crash in 08. I remember one at the Lehman brothers board a guy started a topic "help I just punched my grandfather in the face". The comment was "I've lost so much money on this stock that I just punched my grandfather in the face what should I do?" Someone suggested "help him up"

They should do a slight re-imagining where their powers involve turning into anthro-animals.  They could call it The Fantastic Fur.
