Combined with the video, talk about personal feelings about religion

There are many good friends who believe in Christianity. They firmly believe in the God they believe in. They are sincere, friendly, and thoughtful, but from a rational observer like me, all of their thinking is here. Under the premise of faith, they seldom ask questions that seem absurd to modern people (resurrection and ascension, talking to snakes, creating all things in heaven and earth in 6 days, feeding 5,000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fish, etc.). When it comes to these questions, they can't argue, they just believe, and that's enough, just like the fat boy in the video recording left the scene when he heard doubts about his faith. I admire and respect their relentless beliefs, but only on a perceptual level. There are always friends who say that she hears instructions from God when she is praying. I believe this. From a psychological point of view, this is completely reasonable, but what I believe is that the instruction is actually a suggestion to my heart. But they don't think so, they think it's the voice of God. Just like taking some kind of medicine and identifying a master, there is no doubt.
Really speaking from a rational point of view, I personally think that religion is absurd within the framework of reason, there is no doubt about it. More than 2000 years ago, it is not surprising that a person believed that people can chat with animals and believe in resurrection and ascension, but today after 2000, if someone is convinced of this, it is really shocking. I don't think they believe it, but It is the willingness to believe, because this belief does not need to pay any price, and it can also get spiritual wealth, and this willingness goes beyond any rational thinking refutation. "Proving God's existence is hard, but proving God's non-existence is even harder," they often cite as an excuse or as comfort to their hearts. But a rational person would ask: would you believe a fact out of nothing that has not been proven? So what in this world do we not believe? Of course, beliefs are personal, their own. I agree with this sentence very much, and I respect other people's beliefs, because the communication with my friends is not only within the framework of beliefs, and now I rarely ask rebuttal questions about their beliefs, because beliefs are not suitable for Discuss within a rational framework. Going back to the film, I think what the director and the protagonist want to express is the devastation of religion to human beings. Religion is a kind of virtue without thinking. In the name of God, all kinds of inhumane killings are carried out. This is what the author finally wants. Critical, and the previous questions remind people of the word "doubt". Religious belief is something that does not need to be discussed rationally. The more you discuss it, the less meaningful the discussion will be. As I said before, belief is your own, and you can create your life with this belief. Brilliant and thank God, this is a personal freedom, or more precisely a psychological freedom, atheists can show respect for religious believers, and religious believers must also respect those who do not "believe" in your eyes , after all, it is not religion that is belief, but atheism and rigorous science are also beliefs. Therefore, don't have this mental and behavioral habit, that is, "believers go to heaven, unbelievers go to hell", which is an extremely humble sense of dignity, and don't always put "God will have mercy on you unbelievers" Talking about it, it's even an insult.

    With the Internet, we communicate with monitors more often, why not communicate with our relatives and friends? Is this interesting. Likewise, God is another network, and I will not be on that network.

    I have to admit that there are still big flaws in the theme of the film. The whole film is too obsessed with the debating session of strange and obscene techniques to show the low logic ability of its opponents in the debate, while ignoring the in-depth thinking and strong logical expression of the whole theme. Confucius said: "Spoken words and expressions, fresh and benevolent." But my extreme aversion to the hypocritical mass violence of a venomous dog that has been raised in politics for a long time led me to recommend this film.

Religulous quotes

  • Tal Bachman: [an ex-Mormon] In the founding scriptures, you open the doctrine covenant, you read the autobiography of Joseph Smith. He quotes Jesus Christ as telling him that every other creed on Earth is, quote, an abomination. That's not a very ecumenical statement.

  • Bill Maher: The idea that Christianity is American, I think, is an amazing entitlement to a people who are always trying to meld God and country.

    Bill Gardiner: The Garden of Eden was in Missouri, according to Mormonism. The new Jerusalem will be there.

    Bill Maher: Branson, I hope.
