Root of All Evil? (2006)
Questionmark
Religious fanatics forget one thing. To question what they believe in. While I was watching this documentary it came screaming to me that not just the religious fanatics forget to question but also Richard Dawkins seems to forget to question the "evidence".
The evidence we use to explain evolution for example is based on samples that we found. We are developing a theory based on these evidences. There are several weaknesses in this sentence already. It is the same with religion. if you just believe in this theories whether it is a religious theory or a scientific theory without questioning you become blinded.
I agree with Dawkins who says that religion is blindingly wrong. But if we would raise our children in all our religions to become questioning persons. We don't have to kill ourselves. People have to believe in a reason for being. I do not agree with Dawkins whose ending words in this documentary were that the only way of really enjoying our live is not to believe that after death there is heaven or hell. I don't believe in hell anyway, but the pure thought that there is no real sense in my being and that after I die I go into the big not existence makes me panic. I rather believe that I have to learn some things in this life and that there is a reason for me being here, is more calming. I believe but I thought long and hard in what I believe and what I believe the priests or reverends or pastors tell me might be true and I will never become a fanatic because if you question your believes and especially question the people who supposedly have all the answer, then you might have a chance.
There is a reason why Jesus did not agree with churches!
