Religious Idiots...

Today I've seen what I must call disturbing. It is a protest video put together by a couple of good ol' christian boys seeking to boycott the movie Religulous, a documentary exploring the hypocrisy and lack of rationale the religious masses of the world actually have. Watch the whole video then read my critiques and walk away knowing you couldn't possibly be as dumb as these guys.


chad bennington and meatloaf?^

1. You can't pronounce the name of the movie right (loss of intelligence credits right there)

2. Being Jewish doesn't mean you have to be religious. Religion is still a choice even if your parents forced it on you as a child.

3. Your creating conspiracy theories based on the name of the studio??? Lions Gate is known for bringing movies with more controversial issues to the main stream (free speech). Don't kill the messenger just because they have the balls to do movies other studios won't.

4. "He's waiting" for bill maher? Well, God surely didn't have a problem drowning a few folk in the story of Noah's ark. You DO believe in the story of Noah's ark literally right?

5. Borat was a comedy of a character created by Sacha Baren Cohen who is NOT THE DIRECTOR. A comedy makes jokes and jokes are not to be taken literally. Sadly enough there are people on this planet who are as dumb as Borat and you two are certainly some of them.

6. The magic of editing is unfortunately everywhere (MTV, FOX, MSNBC). Many of your religious friends have spliced and compiled lines from the bible to justify incest and sex with children among other things. However, these "back woods redneck idiots" are your brethren! You shouldn't be so cruel to God's children! No matter how flippin' stooopid they really are for believing what they do.

7. You're atheists just like anybody else who refuses to believe in Jesus when you discredit and refuse to accept the existence of other religions. Why so hypocritical?

8. "obviously, christianity is the one true religion" Ok... well here's another statement for you: "Obviously, ipods are such an advancement of technology we must have gotten them from sentient beings orbiting the planet Jupiter who have giant purple wings and get high off Jupiter's gases to make banging music." Listen tubby Meatloaf look-a-like crazy Jesus freak, you can't just make statements like that and expect people to accept it as fact. You also can't recite the Bible as historic record when it claims to have talking snakes and giant arks with every living species aboard built by one man.

9. I was raised as christian/catholic (same bull shit) and no one was speaking in tongues at my church. You can write that off as a popular saying but that is not a recognized language and if it is then I've lost even more hope for humanity.

10. "as we all know from historical record in the bible he is white"
So now, not only are you again just making statements and offering no factual evidence you're also racist?

11. "i've often said that if they were able to extract DNA from (whatever the fuck he said here) that they should start cloning jesus."
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT FINISHING THIS CRITIQUE BECAUSE THIS IS TOO FUNNY.

12. Calling someone gay because they are talking to gay people is ignorant. Also, claiming Bill is in a gay bar when there is no reference to that in the preview and you guys haven't seen the movie yet is also very ignorant. Lastly, in the arena of religion those two men have just as much right as you do to speak freely on their beliefs.

13. "Jesus doesn't murmur first of all."
In the preview it is clear that Bill is referring to the murmuring done by people all over the world praying (or as I like to call it: wishing) to God for assistance because they've been taught they're too weak to believe in themselves. So, anything you boys said after this voids your argument because were now talking about two different things.

14. Re-listen to 7:40 - 8:35 and reassure yourself that it is now impossible for you to be the dumbest person on the planet.

15. everything after the Santa Clause explanation is self explanatory.

To sum things up, I'm sorry tubby Meatloaf look-a-like and soft spoken Chester Bennington impersonator, but what you've just done is make people who do believe second guess the company they keep. I read in the comment boards a notion that these guys are paid by the studio to add more buzz for the movie and I really hope that's the truth because to know these guys are actors would be a real relief.
