No Mutants Allowed

There's gods for all the other peoples though, except the Chinese. They're on their own

not sure...
where did you get that?

The evangelical movie I had to watch on my 4 hours bus ride yesterday.

I take the most offense when people thank God in inapropriate ways, for example, if you got 1 survivor of a plane crash "God was watching over me!", they don't mean to offend, but it's basically like saying God was *not* particularily into all the other 176 lives on board

Little girl with cancer dies because her family wasn't "believers", girl of the christian family falls into a tree and gets magically cured of her intestinal disorder. The father of the dead girl starts going to church, happy ending apparently.
Also people without kids are miserable and rude, according to Queenlatifah's character.

Misery porn.

@zegh8578 iam sure that guy who said it does feel sorry for other people who dont make it alive :))

suuuure, I don't go around thinking they're bastards, like I said, they don't mean any offense, but they're so conditioned to saying those things "God watched over me" - or the ones thanking Jesus, with their heroic surgeon standing right next to them. They mean no harm, but ugh...

All evangelical "uplifiting stories"can't help themselves but to also put others down on the way. It's like second nature.

I still don't understand religion, is it some kind of uber cult or some memetic disease similar to space aids?

Research about human cognition, and our essential analytical skills regarding the world around us, from a pre-civilization point of view, and it does make sense. You can regard religion almost as a kind of... symptom - of human intelligence evolving "out of control"

There's more to it than just that, obviously, but humanity has always been very interested in "what is not there", for example, in tool making, art, creation - we create things that are not yet there, we see things (in our imagination) that we cannot physically see - etc.
