Hollywood's religion defined

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2012)

Yes, this was a blatant attempt to define the religion of our Godless friends in Hollywood; those rich fools who believe that their wealth and fame were the result of their "genius", when in reality it was merely luck. The result (not totally unexpected) is an undefined mess of pseudo-mystical ideas (mostly eastern) that have no logical connection with each other. Among the more absurd "spiritual ideas" put forth in this movie are
1) The belief that science can solve every human problem (even death) and answer every philosophical question.
2) The uncreated nature of the human soul (it always existed; it was never created).
3) The immortality of the universe (atheists are never going to accept that this universe was created, even though that is exactly what the scientists have discovered).
4) The highest happiness one can achieve in this life is romantic/ sexual love (the highest is union with God/Christ, just in case you were wondering).
5) The worship of the theory of evolution (which I believe in) and the belief that it can explain EVERYTHING about human nature.
6) The world is purely material (there is nothing beyond the material universe) and hence predictable.
I said that the movie was an undefinable mess of pseudo-mystical ideas. That is not entirely correct. There is a common thread that links all these ideas. Everything expressed in this "movie" is a reaction to (or an attempt to contradict) some doctrine of Christianity. It is gratifying to me as a Christian because ultimately the ideas presented in this movie are SO disconnected from reality and SO disconnected from everyday life that it cannot possibly be satisfying in any way. Go watch the Expendables 2 - it's way more meaningful and complicated (on a philosophical level) than this piece of nothing.
