Hey Deadhearts haha

There's a conflict in every human heart
between the rational and the irrational,
between good and evil.
The good does not always triumph.
Sometimes the dark side overcomes
what Lincoln called the better
angels of our nature.

Though less widely thought of in such a manner, Buddhism has it's own history of misery: the Himalayan wars between the red and yellow hats,the recently ended serfdom in the same states, and in the modern age we have the recently ended conflict in Sri Lanka

Human institutions: Institutions are structures and mechanisms of social order and cooperation governing the behavior of a set of individuals within a given human collectivity. Institutions are identified with a social purpose and permanence, transcending individual human lives and intentions, and with the making and enforcing of rules governing cooperative human behavior.[1]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institution
the cold war was largely based on which economic policy *others* decided to apply

We are talking about religion here. I know that the rest of the movie
is very questionable. If you watch it and do even a little bit of research then you may be surprised.
"That said, a lot of people claim that "I do not believe everything in the movie, but this thing seems true to me, so you should watch it." Just because something of substance might be found, does not make it a good / factual movie."
Bullshit
Dont believe everything you read.
This is just another persons opinion.
Do you feel religion to be a good thing?

Hmmmm....Religion how do I feel lets see.
Religion is nothing more then a way to try and control people. Do this and this will happen to you yadda yadda yadda crap.
The Story of Jesus just how original is it. Lets see.......
Krishna was around 1000 years before Jesus...He was a carpenter, born of a virgin, baptized in a river.
The Persian God Mithra 600 years before Jesus......Born Dec 25, performed miracles, resurrected on the third day, known as the lamb, the way, the truth, the light.
Written in 1280 BC the book of the dead describes a god named Horus....He was said to be the son of God (Osiris), born of a virgin, baptized in a river by Anup the baptizer. Like Jesus Horus was tempted while alone in the desert. He healed the sick, the blind, cast out demons and walked on water, and raised Asar from the dead. (The name Asar translates to the name Lazarus the name of the guy Jesus raised from the dead), and he had 12 disciples. Oh yeah did I mention he was put to death on the cross-----1280 years before Jesus.
Is religion bad now....not sure how to answer this but I'm pretty sure when the Pope goes to a African nation where 50% of the people have aids and tells them not to use birth control that it may not be a good thing.
People are gonna believe what they believe whatever makes ya happy I guess.

I would say religion is just as good, or bad, as the individual practicing it.
But I don't personally subscribe to any religious or spiritual ideas

The only religion I see for me is rastafari.
No churches, no temple; your body is the temple already.
Dont give a shit about the color of your skin.
I don't believe jesus came a 2nd time on earth as the king of ethiopia, but at least rastas don't shoot themselves with guns for stupid reasons.
They get high.

How do these songs make you feel ?
Truthfully, not much of an emotional response at all. But I just find it really hard to care about the subject, in general; being that I'm an atheist and tend to be libertarian in my social views.

It's like a conspiracy, brah:
Liberal Christianity, broadly speaking, is a method of biblical hermeneutics, an undogmatic method of understanding God through the use of scripture by applying the same modern hermeneutics used to understand any ancient writings. Liberal Christianity does not claim to be a belief structure, and as such is not dependent upon any Church dogma or creedal statements. Unlike conservative varieties of Christianity, it has no unified set of propositional beliefs. The word liberal in liberal Christianity denotes a characteristic willingness to interpret scripture without any preconceived notion of inerrancy of scripture or the correctness of Church dogma.[2] A liberal Christian, however, may hold certain beliefs in common with traditional, orthodox, or even conservative Christianity.
In the 19th century, self-identified liberal Christians sought to elevate Jesus' humane teachings as a standard for a world civilization freed from cultic traditions and traces of "pagan" belief in the supernatural.[3] As a result, liberal Christians placed less emphasis on miraculous events associated with the life of Jesus than on his teachings. The effort to remove "superstitious" elements from Christian faith dates to intellectual reformist Christians such as Erasmus and the Deists in the 15th–17th centuries.[4] The debate over whether a belief in miracles was mere superstition or essential to accepting the divinity of Christ constituted a crisis within the 19th-century church, for which theological compromises were sought.[5]
Attempts to account for miracles through scientific or rational explanation were mocked even at the turn of the 19th–20th century.[6] A belief in the authenticity of miracles was one of five tests established in 1910 by the Presbyterian Church to distinguish true believers from false professors of faith such as "educated, 'liberal' Christians."[7]
Contemporary liberal Christians may prefer to read Jesus' miracles as metaphorical narratives for understanding the power of God.[8] Not all theologians with liberal inclinations reject the possibility of miracles, but may reject the polemicism that denial or affirmation entails.[9]
