religulous

i liked the spirit behind the humor of religulous. best of all was the scene where bill maher was shouting out the beliefs of scientology in a park in london. speaker's corner. "how do you people expect to make it to the next level!" he shouts. i liked that because a lot of religions are like that. there's some other level to get to. some cults call it the level beyond human. religions are so crazy that some people commit suicide with 5 dollars or whatever in quarters in their pocket, thinking that they will get to the spaceship by committing suicide. people aren't content to just be where they are, doing what they're doing. no, there's always another level to get to, with religion. well, i'm not going to drink the poisoned kool aid. steer clear of a religion when it decides to relocate to guyana. still, i am a Christian, and will be until the day i die. there is a lot i don't understand about Christianity, so i stick with the things i do understand, and hopefully work from there. so i am not offended by bill maher poking fun at religions. and it makes a great comedic film, a documentary, but what are you left with without religion? a kind of hedonism and humanism. i do admit i get tired of bill maher sometimes. to follow catholicism blindly is one thing, but is being a wiseacre the only other alternative?
