religulous

some of you atheists, agnostics, and assorted non-practicing individuals out there may have heard (god bless you...just kidding) that religulous came out on october third (i meant to post this a long time ago but got behind). for those who have not heard, the movie is bill maher's take on the current state of world religion (bill maher is a stand-up comedian, television host, and a political and social commentator). from what i have seen so far, the world needs to lay off the opiates and try a hit of what bill maher is having. religulous denounces religion as "comforting but dangerous fairy tales clung to by adults who should know better," and i could not agree much more. but, i still have not seen it because i've been becoming more and more displeased with the service available at local movie theatres; five dollar popcorn, one person in the box office on a friday night...but that's neither here nor there. the point is that religulous speaks from a perspective that represents a large amount of cultured, liberal, and intellectual individuals and that as this group gets bigger i hope politics take the hint and stop emphasizing the religion of the candidates as much.
