: Although this board sounds as if it is populated by a group of high school kids who got their hands on a collection of Satre lecture notes; it, and the movie it promotes, serve an important social purpose. FYI: When you digress have a reference point to digress from. Religion has become an obsession in this country seriously hindering freedom. Religion has no redeeming social value and is a crutch for the weak of mind and body. Medical science is making breakthroughs everyday which are being stifled by religous groups who subscribe to outdated notions of morality and collective responsibility. Anything that mocks christianity weakens the hold this religion has on our society, especially the young. Silly notions like sanctity and holiness have been perpetuated by the even more absurd concepts of a "virgin mary" or "forgiveness through a man who was too much of a wimp to save himself on a cross". Kudos makers of Dogma, catholicism's deconstruction is a one block at a time process and as josef stalin said (he's evil but he had great points on religion), "religion cannot be crushed by tanks and planes, it must be presented as absurd to a man's mind and then, only then, will an individual be without guilt for his actions"
You're probably a 2nd year student at some third rate College yourself mate....You personally don't need Religion because of you're personal circumstances. I dare you to tell some poor soul who has nothing in life except the belief that things will get better when they die that they are weak because they believe in a higher form.
