Honestly, 80% of humanity is just fucking retarded. If one stupid book can change the way you view your faith, then obviously you haven't done your homework, or weren't very confident in it to begin with. I have no problem with religious people, but I can't stand people who just accept their faith as truth, without ever considering the alternatives, or the motivation of those who want their support. People are so damn ignorant.
Of course, if people weren't so ignorant, the church would have nothing to worry about, as in an ideal world, no simple work of fiction could ever change somebody's mind  . The problem is that because people ARE ignorant (80% of people are simply the same religion as their parents, because they've been indoctrinated since childhood). Consequently, ANYTHING that makes people question their faith is dangerous to the church, because it peels away those who support their faith without reason.
I guess we'd be asking too much if we wanted the average human to simply QUESTION HIS OR HER FAITH .
If people actually developed an interest in science, philosophy, history, and mathematics, instead of just believing what they were taught in Sunday school, we wouldn't have to deal with this bullshit.
To me, citing religion over reason is the most blatent, prevalent form of human ignorance in existance.
I'm glad most of you guys on TA aren't like that. |
Fuck - I've always liked the way you think man! It's refreshing to find another with the same views and who sees shit exactly the same way as I do.

Why do you have to be "not in favour" of the movie (sounds like you dont condone it).
Why cant you just dislike the topic and therefore have no desire to see it, or just feel it wont be your type of movie??
I mean, if I a) don't believe in dragons or b) don't like the subject matter of race cars, id simply not see a movie on dragons or race cars because a) i think its silly and made up [not of interest to me] or b) because I don't like what the movie is going to be about.
But neither of the above means that I'm not in favour of this flick. It's a movie. I don't wanna see it, others will. It was made by someone who wanted to make it... for the same reasons as someone wanted to make a movie about a boy named Will Hunting... only this one is fiction stemming from recognizable figures. This author's fictional story he wanted to write about!
Even if this movie could influence many ppl (with weak beliefs) where as my examples could not, that doesn't make this film illegitimate.
Human being are INTELLIGENT beings. They can decide for themselves the merits of hte movie... if they are in fact trying to take any from the film. I know I wouldn't. Id see it as what it is - a work of fiction.
