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.

Religulous quotes

  • Bill Maher: [Extra] So now let's get to the part where it ties in with what you believe which is, I would say, slightly more controversial

    [laughs]

    Bill Maher: . Let me see if I understand this right. That everything we really know about what is going on in our World and all the Institutions like Government, Religion, Banking, Organised Crime. They really are all part of a I guess you'd call it a Conspiracy that Reptilians...

    David Icke: Well I call them Interdimensionals.

    Bill Maher: Okay, but I read what you wrote.

    David Icke: Yep.

    Bill Maher: Your words. Reptilian- These reptilians from the constellation Draco have interbred with humans and they are living amongst us, there are people like the Pope you talk about George Bush his father the President.

    David Icke: Yep.

    Bill Maher: The Royal Family in England. Tony Blair. They take human form but behind closed doors they can shape-shift back to their Reptilian form. I need to know how you know this.

    David Icke: I've been researching this stuff for twenty years.

    Bill Maher: How can you research that?

    David Icke: I've been to more than forty countries doing it. This is where the idea of the Divine Right to Rule comes from the Divine Right to Rule because of what? Because of your bloodline, because of your DNA. This goes right back to the ancient world.

    Bill Maher: Why do we need reptiles for that? People, human beings are shmucky enough to want to rule over each other.

    David Icke: Listen, you can tell me anything you believe and I can start taking it apart on the basis of a little chat in front of this place, right, but what I'm saying is...

    Bill Maher: People all the time summarise their works in television interviews.

    David Icke: And that's what I'm trying to tell ya.

    Bill Maher: Okay

    David Icke: If you look at the ancient world, all over the ancient world you find the same recurring story of the interbreeding between humans

    [Caption of Genesis 6.4]

    David Icke: and non-humans which invariably are depicted in a reptilian form creating hybrid bloodlines, the bloodline of the gods and you look at the symbolism of the serpent all over the place and you put it together with everything else and people just have to look at the information and decide if they want to believe it.

    Bill Maher: But why if they have control of everything, why would they reveal themselves with all these serpent clues? What does that benefit them?

    David Icke: Well, they don't reveal themselves, do they? They certainly haven't convinced you, have they? The thing is...

    Bill Maher: You've also talked about getting a message from a spiritual messenger.

    [David stutters]

    Bill Maher: No?

    David Icke: There are so many aspects to this that people need to know before the apparently ridiculous makes sense.

    Bill Maher: Didn't you say that you saw the Pope just for a second have his reptilian face?

    David Icke: No, I didn't say that about any Pope, no.

    Bill Maher: Oh, I read that.

    David Icke: Well, you didn't read it in my book.

    [Caption: he only saw the Pope's eyes change]
