On a religious kick these days, aren't I? Must be the season.
In a nutshell: one of those movies that probably won't tell me anything I didn't already know/suspect, but I'll probably still rent it anyway. All the Illinois screenings seem to be over, so I guess the only way to get ahold of it is as a DVD. I'll see what I can do.
Most people can't articulate their faith. Not all, but most. I have no religious faith to speak of, but I can articulate my lack of belief better than most monotheists I've met can outline their piety, and that's a little scary. Or maybe a lot scary. It means they don't think about it.
A belief system as total as a religion isn't something I feel should be taken so lightly, or regarded with such willful ignorance.
If you're going to identify as a Christian, know what being a Christian means. Know where Christianity comes from. Understand its imperfections, and don't misuse it. Your faith doesn't exist to make you feel superior or to flesh out your fantasies, and it's not a board with a nail in it. It's a system of morals. A, not THE. And they're not universal, and never will be, and in a free, fair, and reasonable society, never should be. You're going to be disagreed with. Always.
Oh, and stop trying to convince me that I'm going to Hell. That's not a very compelling nuclear option when I don't actually believe in one. Kthnx.
