Q3 Blog #5

This outside reading was supposed to be about religion in some way shape or form. I decided to talk about an article I read about the movie Religulous. The article was from the Rolling Stone website. It said that Religulous was very funny but also took a very serious stance on questioning the blind faith of many people within every religion. The film tries to expose this blind faith as dangerous, because it can spark conflict such as wars. This of course is a perfectly valid point, one need only look back on history to prove it. From the crusades to the French wars of religion to much of the conflict in the middle east (although certainly not all of it, because a large part of that is our fault) organized religion has been a large source of bigotry, hatred, and war. I plan on renting the film so that I can see in full what it has to say.
