Journal Entry from 10/06/08

This is more or less what I put in my Journal.

Today I went with Megan to see Bill Maher's new movie Religulous. It reminded me of why I believe society is doomed. If religion is fundamentally asserted into American culture, essentially apart of the American dream, than what does that say about America?

It means the fundamentals are corrupt and wrong. However, religion is not a fundamental part of society, or at least wasn't suppose to be. It has quietly snuck in the back door and little by little it has made its way to the front and now it is on the stage running the show.

I rediscovered an idea at the end of the movie that I once possessed and cared for. Religion, just like so much of America, has become more of a circus than a humble belief. They are twisted organizations hellbent on raising revenue instead of helping their fellow man.

Also, I realized that people interested in the circus of religion are desperate for meaning and understanding of their life. People can't stand to not know what is out there or what's in themselves. Fuck you, Your alone.
