Thinking or obedience

1. The conclusions given in the last five minutes of the movie, whether correct or not, are worth thinking about. Does religion give people who are unwilling to think about the big problem an excuse or opportunity? Even lazy people have found a way to solve their inner helplessness.

2. The host of the talk show is really sturdy. He speaks sharply. The film inserts many movies and news scenes to set off the scenes. The interviewees are too helpless.

3. Religulous itself has the meaning of faith, which makes me think that ours is not ruled by religion, but the rule of faith is equally pervasive. Or, if there is no one kind of faith, people tend to look for another kind of faith that can switch painlessly, rather than working hard in the right direction.

4. Doubt, just like this movie.

    Religion is rediculous

    It's just sophistry and grandstanding to show intellectual superiority. The process of making arguments is quite subjective. For example, he only interviews evangelical Christians, but why doesn't he talk to catholic churches and theologians? All his eloquent questions are no problem at all for someone with a real theological foundation. On the contrary, people in the church should watch this film. The faith that has been doubted is the real faith. The irony is that today's church has expelled theologians from the church.

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.
