Religion should more appropriately be called faith..faith in something you cannot prove...all humans live with faith. For example, Bill Maher does hours of shows and even documentaries on how Religion is bullshit...but by him doing that he is showing his faith...his faith that he has some purpose exposing religion...he gets up early, stays up late..puts his little suit on...has writers...cue cards...all of it...BULLSHIT!!!!
Maher doesn't realize that television is there to sell soap commercials...his show WILL follow all the other comedy/talk shows...from the Honeymooners to I love Lucy to Seinfeld to Cosby to Donahue...made us laugh/think a little..sold a bunch of potato chips making a bunch of scummy entertainment people money..then no one gives a shit and show goes away...
We all have faith in something..even atheists have faith in intellect...viewing life analytically...but they are bullshit..ignoring the inevitable cultural and experiencial biases that make intellect just as subjective as religion...
Anyone calling religion bullshit...at least acknowledge what YOUR bullshit is..what do YOU have faith in?
Your job?
I love the shock of someone let go after 25 years...they are hurt and shocked the company they gave their life to could give a fuck and just wants money..Their lie was that after 25 years they "mattered" to the company...then after being fired they are broke and their wife leaves when the money dries up....He can't believe she broke his heart because he had faith in love...marriage...
Life partners...Caring employers....ITS ALL BULLSHIT!!!!
Just don't rip on anothers faith in bullshit while you believe in just as much bullshit.
Religion is just as valid a bullshit as any other lie we all tell ourselves.
