A Letter from HELL!

stumblingjon says...

Nice production, pity its claptrap.
All i got from this is that God is a prick. He makes you in his own image, gives you rational thought, but if you dont believe in him youll go to hell. Ha.... kinda like telling someone you are making brownies for their birthday, then informing they cant have one...
Guess all of Japan is going to hell.

Richard Dawkins "Stumped".............by an idiot

budzos says...

Most people who say they've seen or felt god are simply lying in the hopes that you will judge them to be better people. After all, if they're close to god, they must be good people.

Like Dawkins, I'm basically sick of being expected to respect everyone's religious beliefs. It's okay if I feel someone's infantile if they believe in Santa Claus, correct? God is Santa for adults and I'm sick of acting like it's okay to run your life according to this claptrap.


Laleh Bakhtiar: First American Women to Translate the Qur'an

budzos says...

God is dead. All deities are myths. All holy texts are written by lying assholes. Religious people are insane and I'm sick of being so polite about their superstitious claptrap.

Still I Rise - Maya Angelou's poem

choggie says...

Maya has had her moments, and she has some soul, unlike the wannabee posers, like Nikki Giovanni.... heard her speak the other day on TV when she came to Virginia Tech after the shootings....pretentious ,ego-induced, claptrap, wholly inappropriate, like when Jesse Jackson decides the nation needs his self-serving opinions and editorials...
here's an excerpt....Thanks Nikki, now, keep yer day job
We are Virginia Tech.

We do not understand this tragedy. We know we did nothing to deserve it, but neither does a child in Africa dying of AIDS, neither do the invisible children walking the night away to avoid being captured by the rogue army, neither does the baby elephant watching his community being devastated for ivory, neither does the Mexican child looking for fresh water, neither does the Appalachian infant killed in the middle of the night in his crib in the home his father built with his own hands being run over by a boulder because the land was destabilized. No one deserves a tragedy.

We are Virginia Tech.

Obadiah Parker - Six or Seven

choggie says...

..pretentious, self-indulgent, claptrap....musically sophomoric, un-original, almost as bad as a poetry reading.....
Hope this ain't one of yer favorites, or god forbode, a friend's band......(If they are your friends, tell them the best review they ever had was a freebie...)

The growth of cancer? nope it's just Walmart

Barbara Walters puts her foot down on the View

James Roe says...

The real question here is why even use the tag abortion when plan b does not cause an abortion. RU-486 on the other hand, another controversial drug does in fact induce an abortion.

At any rate, the fight against Plan B seems to stem from a male desire to limit a womans ability to control herself. However, as pho3n1x put it he's not a woman, and neither am I so its quite possible that my ideas are claptrap as well.

Quantum Physics Double Slit Experiment - amazing results

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Watched it, I thought most of the speakers were pretty interesting, but I didn't really need the kind of storyline they attached to the documentary.

It was strange how they didn't tell you who any of the speakers were. That being said, you could spot the cult leader a mile away - I found her sections to be the most inane, and she was annoying kind of waggling her finger a lot. Still there was some good stuff in the movie, and I wouldn't dismiss it as claptrap out of hand.

Shanness, you have to give people more credit for being able to discern the wheat from the chaff. And if this movie was funded by some weird religion, so what? I watched Passion of the Christ - I'll take this over that. And you think the major studios don't have agendas?


Quantum Physics Double Slit Experiment - amazing results

ThwartedEfforts says...

The movie makes numerous references to quantum mechanics in order to bolster all the religious/mystical/new age claptrap it advocates. Now, most of us haven't a clue about quantum anything, so the producers and directors -- who, along with several of the film's stars, belong to the Ramtha School of Enlightenment -- are simply bamboozling us with stories we don't understand in order to make us more likely to believe those which we did. Stories such as the ability to walk on water.

And if you believe that you'll swallow anything. To those of you who believe creationism, ghosts, and other assorted quackery and flimflam, this is a movie which will send a shiver down your spine. But to the rest of us it's abject nonsense.
