While looking for some entertainment/enlightenment, found this documentary on origins of the bible, kind of got to what I've been trying to find out for a little while.
Now, if you can poke up with the presenter's constantly nodding head when asking questions, you're doing better than me. This guy is a Christian, but when he actually discovers the ridiculous truth behind the holy book, it doesn't seem to shake him.. and I just can't understand why! There's so many modifications, rewrites and omissions to the holy book you can't possible see any of it as true, surely!? Of course I do not share his blind faith. If the book was written by men.. and men who were at times far removed from what they were writing about, I cannot possibly believe it to be any sort of truth. Again, this seems to be a tale of misinformation, control and sensationalism, and actually, sometimes just plain fascism. Anyway.. interesting documentary.. watch it here
Next for a bit of light relief I watched Religulous, which was absolutely hilarious. I wouldn't call this a documentary, because to be honest it is very biased towards non-believers and has quite a few inconsistencies in it. It's more pure comedy than anything else. The answers that come from some of the questions asked of believers are downright stupid/disgraceful, but it had me absolutely pissing myself I must admit. Good for a laugh, not much fact, just common sense.
Anyway, I will try to dig up some more stuff soon, have been out of the loop for a while, just starting to get back to feeling ok again now.
Ciao!
