Religulous

[xxv7xx]

Watched it tonight and I can honestly say funniest movie of the year as well as the most eye opening. Before this movie I was an atheist, I did not really see anything wrong with faith but now I cannot stand religious people. Human beings are naturally so logical and use reasoning...not the case with religion. I can respect people who have an independent connection with some power and don't try to force their beliefs on others but some cannot admit that they do not know.

I say this is the funniest movie of the year because it is hilarious as well as dehumanizing watching these religious zealots spiel their bullshit. Religion is a plaque and is a huge problem. Every time you turn on the news, you see fucking Muslim jihadists blowing themselves up and taking people with them. I turn on the tv and I see biblical pastors begging for money and preaching believers to hate other races, religions, and lifestyles.

One thing I cannot stand out of all of this is the treatment of gays. I honestly don't see why people give a shit about what people do. If someone is gay, and has an intimate relationship with someone, what business is it of yours. It absolutely blows my mind that idiots will believe a 2000 yr book has relevance in today's society.

Religious people always ignore science and try to dodge fact. It is a miserable battle to argue with someone who is religious, they dodge questions, cite nonsense, and think they are always right. Religion is a mental disorder that quite possibly cannot be cured. Whether it be muslim jihadists or bible belt preachers, I see them all the same. They fail to acknowledge their imperfections as humans and try to fill that void with nonsense.

Have you ever read the bible ? I have, front to back. There are numerous contradictions, false statements, and simpleton beliefs. Why does the model of Jesus present itself through other cultures, thousands of years before ? Why are there such major discrepancies in the bibles ? Why, Why, Why ? I can never find an answer. Any religious person will tell you its simply fact or it was proven otherwise. Idiocy is proven rampant in both human nature and society once again as it has millions of times in history.

The biggest problem I have with religion: social acceptance. You cannot be an elected official until you are married to a woman and accept Jesus as you savior. It truly is bullshit, it really is. Good luck having some neighbors accept you because you do not attend Church. People will speak badly of you, and accuse you of devil worship.

To sum it all up, fuck religion, and fuck the sheeple in society who do not have an independent thought. Maybe it says something about humans, we believe we have come so far but we have not progressed from childlike beliefs that haunted us in the past. Religions preach of bringing people together and to make the world a better place. This, again, is more brainwashing bullshit. Religious organizations exist to feast on people wanting to believe, not being able to think for themselves, gullibility, and pursuit of wealth. Humanity cannot progress, religion being it's hindering factor.
