[~excerpted from my original comment~]
“If you are a Christian, then for a moment, just imagine that you’re ‘me’. Imagine something that you know is absolute, pure fantasy— like extraterrestrials or bigfoot or ghosts…Now put yourself in my shoes and imagine that this is really, really how I view Christianity…”

No. You missed my point completely. I wasn’t expecting you to change your views and see your faith as ridiculous. I was asking only that you try to imagine my POV on the ideas of Christian belief and ONLY from my perspective. You can manage that, can’t you?
Also, if I was a narcissist, I wouldn’t be able to understand empathy for another’s views at all. So who’s really the narcissist here…and who/what has been making claims to “the moral high ground” for longer than you and I have been around?
You are afraid to see my point of view…just for a moment…in order to truly understand the mindset of one modern, secular humanist like me without supernatural beliefs. You are scared to death. Aren’t you? And yet if your evangelical impulse for Christ was strong and honest, you’d try to enhance your ability to spread the Gospel by doing just that. How else better to convince the modern pagans of the 21st century?

No, a religious person who has faith in God will not see how ridiculous their belief is, due a stranger on a post comparing faith to aliens and the supernatural and taking some narcissistic high ground all about himself, your post is the definition of ridiculous.

That statement is an over generalization with no logic or correlation to this documentary… there are people in all religions spreading peace and doing charitable deeds, there is also non religious people doing the same. This doco is looking at a certain type of people that are fundamentalist in their thinking, that type is also across all religions and also non religious people, you can get preaching athiests too, who force feed there views down peoples necks… its a documentary highlighting certain elements within religious thinking, it isn’t suggesting that this is how all Christians think, that would be stupid.

I’m a little confused about this rapture idea…if all of the good believing people are taken up to heaven during the rapture, whats the point of everything after that? What would be the point of armageddon if all thats going to heaven has already gone? And if the rapture has to happen first, how are the end time believers going to accomplish this? If there is no rapture then everything thats supposed to happen after that is a moot point. If only God can cause the rapture,and if it never comes, then the world shouldn’t have anything to worry about except those who have been predicting it for 2000 years.

This explains so much about the state of the world. Well worth watching.

Everyone judges – there is no way to stop it, but you can keep it to yourself.

Revelation is amazing if one understands Old Testament imagery, but if not, be a hater and prove out Revelation – it talks all about you. Why is it that most people have died under the Atheistic Communistic governments? 40 million for Stalin and 40 million for Mau…mathematics and science all support God…

i couldnt agree more with this post. and if its relevent im christian, more specifically what some may call a “realistic” christian, meaning im not a fundamentalist, and i agree with proven science. but i dont think im above anyone else, as i feel its not my place to judge others, but thats not to say i wont counter what someone says about me with something that makes them think about themselves :P

thats kind of a generalized statement, saying that all christians care only for killing and armageddon, it’s like saying all men are poor and dirty. you know thats not accurate at all. just because you may have had a bad experiance with a few people, doesnt mean they all are like that. it only shows how closed minded you really are. im christian, and i dont try to convert everyone, i dont agree with killing needlessly, and i damn sure dont run around screaming bout the end of the world. in fact if the end was to come tommorrow, im pretty sure id be too busy saying goodbye to worry bout whether or not someone i dont know is going to hell….

That’s great, by why come to the comments section of a documentary about something you don’t believe in, and talk down to everyone who disagrees with your take on it?

Disagreeing doesn’t give you the right to be belligerent, and honestly, one strabger’s opinion on the internet holds no weight to anyone anyway.

TL;DR: You’re being a dick for no reason.

“The lack of a ‘God’ concept allows for people to connect on a common sense and moral level, rather than a judgmental, ‘This isn’t Christian, so it’s not right.’

I have to respectfully disagree. it’s naive to think people will suddenly act maturely and responsibly simply because of a lack of belief. People will still hate each other for being different, as they do now.

It’s also unfair to put all the blame on christians, as though atheists are somehow above judging others simply because they are atheists.

Instead of pushing an agenda to make everyone conform, we all need to learn to just let people live how they like. What does it matter to you if Joe Schmoe, who is otherwise a really smart and cool guy believes in God? As long as he’s not trying to convert you, and doesn’t have blind faith (something not all chrsitians are guilty of, contrary to your statements.) it’s better to let him live the way that makes him happy.

“The fact is that ONLY atheists are capable of seeing ALL humans as humans, and helping them completely unbiased.”

This is just a giant load of crap, and poisonous thinking. You are not above anyone for your beliefs, or lack thereof. You say this, while judging all christians.

In case you find it somehow relevant, I’m agnostic.

The lack of a ‘God’ concept allows for people to connect on a common sense and moral level, rather than a judgmental, ‘This isn’t Christian, so it’s not right.’ outlook. Until people stop saying ‘You do drugs, you’re not worth helping.’ or ‘You need to find Jesus, until then we’re not paying for your medical care.’ we are never going to evolve. The fact is that ONLY atheists are capable of seeing ALL humans as humans, and helping them completely unbiased. As long as people believe in a mono-theistic God, they are never going to be able to admit that their scriptures and messiah could have made a mistake. ALL polytheistic religious structures admit time and time again that ALL gods are with flaws, but not any Abraham based religions. Oh no, that God couldn’t possible make a mistake, even though he says that the flood was a mistake in the scriptures.

All religion does is allow for more separation.
Until we get rid of that separation, we will never know what the human race is truly capable of.

Atheism till death.
Then nothing.

this is f***ing blasphemy…read the last page of revelations again…if anyone adds to these words he shall be spared the glories of heaven the same as if the words were taken away (paraphrased)…to say that the banking collapse was the first trumpet is ludicrous…no where in revelations does it mention specifics as to what signs will be given to inform God’s people…

this kind of s*** makes it really hard to defend Christianity..(not that i don’t try, and will for the remainder of my days), it’s just, when people develop their own ideology and then try to match it to the text is what gives the other side fuel to hate us with…Jesus says in the book not to dwell on the end times for no man on earth truly knows when Christ will return and anyone that says they do shall be treated as a blasphemer…the message you should be spreading is love, peace and acceptance not fire and brimstone…

and learn how to f’n spell…and don’t come back with ” a true man of god wouldn’t use such language”…you guys obviously don’t know or understand Christ, i speak with him everyday and he seems to be fine with my choice of language…Go back and do some more reading…

a short message to the non-christians reading this post:

there are a couple things i want to address, one being the sects of Christianity…i.e. Catholics, Baptists, 7th day etc…these different groups are what destroys the image of Christianity as a whole. Pedophiles in the catholic church, end timers in the 7th day followers and so on. an old saying “the strength of a chain can only be measured by it’s weakest link”…that is true if you claim to be catholic or another sect, but if you choose to be one of the few that reads the book, does the comprehension and makes your own conclusion about what you have read, this is the true way to follow…God does not want you to blindly listen to a priest and sing 27 hail mary’s and confess your sins to a creepy dude in a box…its not how it works…God wants direct communication between him and his followers…ask for forgiveness from the father and you shall receive it…

so please, quit bashing Christians as a whole. It hurts me and others to be pigeonholed along side men and women who claim to be right with God but do not portray it in their day to day life…

peace be with all who search for it…

Yeah, heard that B-4. Psychedelic mushrooms in the Mid-East even before Christ, much before…
ZR11 mentioned here below: -”That you had no word in the spoken language of the day to describe”…
Good stuff for “Astral Trips”, isn’t it? And all natural as a plus.
As good as LSD-25. I wonder if there’s was “Mushroom parties in those days, where the religions were founded, a few centuries BC?

I heard that Libanese hash is quite someting.
Even stronger if one keeps from eating.
There may be a God, maybe…
But based on the massacres and abuses americans has voted for since the mid 50′s (The list is much too extensive…), I’d be surprise if the real God would simply state: -”No harms done, right this way”.
EG: -In God’s name, let’s throw a little bit of napalm on that teenage Viet girl as she cross that bridge after her family house bombing!
Left aside, the USA subidees to the jewish gov. to expulse the palestinians natives from their houses and lands they occupied since 3 milleniums.

A typical american way of life: Organized crime.
Next? Where’se the USA debt fits in all this?
Isn’t it by the end of summer that the USA gov. will get short of money and be unable to face its monthly statements?
A little “Doomday” everyday within this material physical world.
No in the secured “Astral” one.

Better be quick to grab Iraq ressources or else, Barrack will have to go borrow one more from the “Bhaad” communist chineses.
Each ones only have a few “Peanuts” but considering their number…
They can buy the USA and front the sale of it to anyone who feels like owning & using hidden WMD.

Religion is nothing more than an astral psychelic trips in which some psychotic or psychotic followers found an ideal irrefutable justification to grab other properties that they were simply too stoned to earn on their own.

Go listen to George Carlin a little.
They just couldn’t care either ’bout you or about any other living things on planet earth.
