New Movie: “Expelled-No Intelligence Allowed” Coming In April
A movie about the trend to dismiss anyone - scientists, etc you challenge the concept of “Intelligent Design”. The movie is supposed to be exposing the suppression of thought.
Here is official site for the movie http://www.expelledthemovie.com/home.php
I am an atheists. I am sick of right wing nut cases cramming their religion down my throats. I am saddened by their stupidity and their need to believe in a fairy tale.
ALL religion is design to control people. Make them feeling better by suggesting an afterlife-m then scaring the shit out of them into “behaving”. Women are the biggest victim in this charade.
I am also a believer in freedom of speech so I thin this movie has as much right to exist as any other. I am shocked that christian and religious fundamentalist think that they are oppressed. It is the atheists who keep their mouth’s shut and “tolerate” their dumbness.
The only pace I REALLY feel free to express myself and how I really feel is on this blog and maybe with my husband and very close friends. I do have friends who are believers in something. I on some level I respect there right to believe whatever they want to- I do wish more people would speak about about religion. Freedom of religion is one thing- to expect others buy into it is another.
I am not sure what the answer is. I am not a communist but I do think religion is the placebo for the masses. Adding fuel to this motion of Intelligent Design is a stepping stone to science meeting religion. An no- the tow have business being connected. Science should be address and looked at through a completely clear lens- not shaded or clouded by ANYTHING not morals, not values, etc. Judged solely an completely on face value.

This movie is a steaming pile of shite. Plug “Expelled” into the search over at scienceblogs.com/pharyngula and you’ll find a ton of information on the lies perpetrated making and promoting this movie.
Why do you make fun of religious people? It is not very nice…
Religion is mythology and control. Monotheism is a simple thing for people to understand, but if you think logically it makes no sense when faced with the variety of life and culture on earth. It’s just plain silly to think that there is One God To Rule Them All.
I’ll be happy to add that monotheism fuels a hell of a disagreement when two people insist that there’s only one god and goshnabbit, it’s definitely not yours. Polytheists don’t have this problem, though the attitude is making it’s way via right-wing religious nuts in a polytheistic stronghold like India.
There’s some ancient Hindu scripture that advised reconsidering the faith in the context of contemporary society - that’s forward thinking. It’s ignored in practice as people are too insistent on maintaining the status quo, but it’s a lot nicer than the threat of being smote down. (though that threat is there, but often without the guilt factor)
I’m new to your blog and haven’t read much, but I’m guessing there’s no unschooling support group in your area? Ours has been a boon to our lives.
