religulous, the new "documentary" by bill maher. it doesn't matter if you believe that a man came back from the dead, or in magic underwear, or the flying spaghetti monster, cause it's all the same. religion makes the world bat-shit crazy. it's unnecessary, and it's a crutch for weak minded individuals who cannot find the strength in themselves to solve their own problems. at worst, it ruines peoples lives and only aggravates the percieved differences between people, emboldening war mongers all for something essentially someone made up, and has no proof of. at best, it's a big lie that makes people delusional, hoping that the next life is better than their current one. it denies people the opportunity to really evaluate their lives and improve it, to really enjoy their lives because they believe if they somehow limit themselves and adhere to a ridiculous set of man-made rules, that somehow they will be rewarded in a second life that probably doesn't exist. just because your life isn't the way you think it ought to be doesn't mean the hand of god is the answer. it came from a book? well, pixies and fairies and trolls are from a book too.
