Masterbatng With My Sister



I just saw Religulous, a film with pretensions animated documentary by Bill Maher, comedy American liberal. We see much religious morons, all confident of having answers to existential questions, and Maher is a joy to pass them off as enlightened, which is not very difficult. The problem is that like all atheists, including me, Maher has no trouble showing that religions entrap the simple-minded, but this gives him the feeling of being intellectually superior. This is indeed the problem of atheists always caused by the stupidity of religions, we often think it is enough to show their irrationality to feel good then it should help believers overcome their psychosis. Movies like Religulous or works of Richard Dawkins are like the sermons in the churches: they only serve to convince the unconvinced.

What can serve the initiative of buses operating in London and announced that God probably does not exist? It is easy in the West do not believe in a deity, most often because we are given the choice, but also because life is better than in most countries. We can understand someone who is facing terrible material hardship and can only surrender to the faith not to become crazy. But in the West? How to understand that millions of people accept without thinking the idea that a woman gave birth without copulating, that his son is not really his son is also a god, he comes to earth from nowhere for a suicide mission, and to celebrate his birth, which falls is historically another day was erected in the home a Christmas tree emblematic of Galilee (!!??) by offering children toys made in China while eating chestnuts (!!!!?????). Not to mention other religions that rival any of preposterous inventions to unite the faithful. And the most amusing is that each believes hold the Truth, while the rest are abominations!

The New scandal shakes the Catholic Church is as always an unnamed hypocrisy. Ben XVI reinstates the fundamentalists and the public focuses on the case of a prelate who denies the Holocaust, thereby claiming that the Catholic Church it would be blameless in regard to the systematic destruction of European Jews by the Third Reich. The Vatican's propaganda machine running at full speed. We give a bone to the media and public opinion (Richard Williamson, who appears as a mentally retarded or a bastard, it depends), everyone is outraged that a clergyman could be denial while n is neither the first nor the last and avoids talking about the fundamentalists who are 150 000 communicates back within the Catholic Church in a reactionary movement undeniable. Knowing he will not attract new parishioners by Protestantism, Ben XVI returns to what made the success of his organization: rules so restrictive that they can only lead to transgression. Commit the forbidden, which most delicious sin for a monk? Do what you did not morally right to do, what a wonderful feeling when you know that paying a small fee and some kneeling, we're still going to paradise! In fact, what fate is reserved by religions to atheists like me? Hell, the suffering, not eternal damnation? And I'm the intolerant? :)
