Bill Maher's "Religulous"
Has anybody seen this film?
Bill Maher may not be my favorite comedian or speaker, but anybody who has seen his film, Religulous knows that he has a point. Prophecy is only harmless as long as mankind does not hold the ability to fulfill it ourselves.
People who don't have all the answers raise questions to the sky, and instead of answers from there, they receive answers from other people. People who can be corrupted, people who have motives, desires, gains. Instead of following their own instinct and intuition, they follow these men, who in short, are trying to convince us of what "God" is saying or what "God" wants.
All of these people seem to think that even if we destroy the Earth, our home, this one thing that we have all around us and have always had, that its okay. After death, you go to be with God. And God will understand, because you followed that one correct rule book.
Before I go any further, I would like to hear what other people have to say.
