Its a long movie, but well worth watching

If I put cool music and "serious" narration I could edit together a slideshow and make you believe it. Just as you guys say those who believe in God are "sheep" for believing - as are you for believing a glorified Powerpoint slideshow by some high school kids.

No you couldn't.

It's so fucking frustrating how the majority of people are so short-sighted. No wonder bad things always end up happening; no one cares enough to prepare for them. Ask most any other developed nation what they think of the typical American attitude, and watch them scoff and shake their heads.

What were your takes on parts 2 & 3?

That's my opinion on part 2 and 3....

You may learn a thing or two..

Most Christians don't understand the basis of their religion. It's nothing new to those who have actually studied comparative religions, Christianity is derivative.

So you guys are against religion, or against God? Which one?

Enjoyed it...still thinking and checking the points made. It would be interesting to hear the other parties response. Lets be clear on this one, it was a very well put together production however it was completely bias.

How are two shmucks who made a cheesy slideshow so groundbreaking? If this is such amazing belief-shattering news, that's been around since the beginning of time, why hasn't the story been told already, NUMBEROUS times? Why hasn't modern religion crumbled? Why does 90% of the earths population believe in a higher power? Why are the only sources of reference for the movie nonamed schmucks from God knows where? Nigga pleez. Go watch Loose Change again and bitch about how 9/11 was carried out by our government. Fuckin impressionable godlees fucks you's are.

I haven't even seen the video yet and I have to take umbrage with some of your points............"If this is such amazing belief-shattering news, that's been around since the beginning of time, why hasn't the story been told already, NUMBEROUS times? Why hasn't modern religion crumbled?"

That's easy..........modern religion usurps your own spiritual journey, lays out a roadmap, makey you stop having to think about yourself and who you really are........life "appears" to be easier when someone takes one of these theologies on. Humans are by nature weak...........so they will gravitate to that which makes them comfortable and doesn't require anything difficult. Religion tells you how to interact with your fellow man, how to judge etc...... so it's very easy for me to see why certain religions catch on like wild fire in certain regions. It's no coincidence that the people who make/made carreers out of "thinking" and "observing"..........usually discard human notions of god............because they see humans for what they really are, so a book written by humans almost carries no intellectual weight. Religion is for the worker ants...........keeps them sedated. I absolutely whole heartedly beleive in a higher power............but I will never adhere to a human religion.

Dude, be more articulate. Less stream-of-consiousness.

You may know what you are trying to say but I have no fucking idea what the hell you're trying to get across lol.
