Attitude issues

As a classmate who has no religious beliefs, I have seen a lot of the madness of popular sects and the absurdity of niche sects. When I watched this film, I laughed energetically. I felt that Bill was really sharp. There is a kind of finally having a child. Debunked the excitement of "the emperor's new clothes". If you want to leave it at that time, you must give five stars nothing to say. But in this semester, I have listened to some good teachers, so now I don’t like the sarcasm and total negation of the talk show host. There are many wisdom and meaningful things in religion, and the formation of various religions also has complicated factors. Taking a step back, at least the beliefs of others should be respected. When Bill confronted a few ordinary Christian believers, he used that tone to talk about their beliefs. In his eyes, he might be "people who know" and they are "people who don't know". His level of knowledge is based on them. Yes, but in my eyes, the people who smiled and discussed with him and finally prayed for him were more gracious than him. To be a Fang Zhouzi-style scientologist is not something to be proud of and awe-inspiring. Its narrowness is even comparable to that of a fanatical missionary of a certain sect. Of course, now I can still understand Bill’s starting point. Under his questioning, I also find the faces of certain religious leaders ridiculous. Under his analysis, I also find the use and fanaticism directed at religions to be absurd. His expression It is indeed wonderful, with Michael Moore's guiding and inciting power. I don't want to deny the value of this film, but now I think rationality and tolerance are the attitudes that should be. In this era of pluralism, everyone (in this case, whether religious or non-religious) does not have the right to be arbitrary. To maintain pluralism and peace at the same time, the first step is to respect and try to understand others. .

    Not as organized as Dawkins' Root of All Evil?, but the comedians have their own strengths. The senior Vatican priest Reginald Foster is very cute, and the uncle of the observatory. Religion is a shame to modern people. As the film says, don’t be indifferent, don’t pretend to be neutral and tolerant. If you don’t declare war on absurd ideas, just wait for religion to bring the end to everyone.

    The world is beautiful because of dissent, at least for me.

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.
