ARGHHHHHHHH Religion

The new movie "2012" is coming out this week (I guess), and Kurt Loder from MTV.com tossed in his two cents. Regardless, I have no interest in watching this movie. I really have no inclination to watch the planet die (Or any end of days type movie). Besides, I heard California slid into the ocean, so I will probably be floating in the Pacific on my bed.

Anyway, one thing on that review pissed me off.


Hal Emmerich or Roland, or whatever Emmerich's first name is, the director of 2012 let his creative destructive juices flow and (according to the review) took out the Jesus statue at Rio de Janeiro and the Pope's place and a Buddhist Temple, and other religious buildings... except ONE TYPE.

"You can [let] Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with an Arab symbol, you would have ... a fatwa. So I kind of left it out.")

SOOOOOOOOOO, people ONLY respect other people's religions for fear of being declared war against.

There is SOMETHING wrong with this.

From the perspective of the aggressor religion, they will be reaffirmed about the might of their belief's because of the 'subordinate' religions who will bow down to the demands of their religion.

The simple act of being able to poke satire (or creative supposition) being stifled simply because it will (most definitely) receive religious retribution really fucking sucks.

Nothing is real, and everything is permitted. But I guess THIS isn't.

And yes, for the record, I'd be scared of doing it too. I don't want to get 'warred' against either. And that really blows goat colons.

So really, if you wanted to make your own religion, and emphasize the I-CAN-HAZ-SRS-BILEEFZ, first appeal to the poor, and then give your followers the ability to declare war.

Voila.
