[QUOTE="newusername, post: 3984081, member: 562064"] First of all, believing in something does not make you weak minded. That is one of the absolutely most despicable comments that I hear atheists use all the time...and when I was atheist I said the same thing. Religions are good in that they can provide a moral compass and provide a meaning to life. Religions make preparation for death more manageable. What if they aren't? And even if they are exaggerated, does that make the religion any less valid if the principles of the religion are unchanged? Yes, you do need to take that movie for what it is. There are many holes in part 2 and part 3. Part 1 discusses how many religions, most notably Christianity, are derived from basic Astrology. Not only is that really old news, but it also doesn't make the religions any less valid. That's like saying different dialects of a given language should be discarded because they were based on something else....sorry, life doesn't work that way. [/QUOTE]
