Bill Mayer's Religulous

[JustinNed]

Just wondering if anyone had seen this and if it was as good as it looks. I can only suspect so considering it was Bill that did the film. Hopefully I will get to watch this weekend.

I saw the trailer, it looks hilarious.

Bill is a badass :twisted:

I just watched it and its a killer .

The machine elve , hokus pokus , astrology , drugs are more than drugs , my hallucinations and fantasys are real fan clubs should watch this and laugh at themselves just like normal people laugh at them .

Religulous is funny, although I didn't really watch it as a docu, more like a reality show, kinda thing.

Well that's a pretty harsh judgement GOD, although I must agree that laughing about thyself is pretty healthy.
People can take themselves way too seriously (talking about the whole of humanity here)

"Well that's a pretty harsh judgement GOD"

Why? Whats harsh ?

 

[Space-is-the-Place]

Well, basicly the undertone of the sentence says that they're opinions are bs and should laugh at themselves.
I'm not condoning or judging you, i'm just suggesting a more subtle and less judging aproach to your suggestions towards others.

Nuts are nuts , bigots bigots , hokus pokus is hokus pokus . I dont decide what those things are . I dont judge . Those people show what and who they are . They deny all facts , deny what psychedelics do and preach that their fantasys and hallucinations are real and not fantasys and hallucinations .

I`m only saying the same as the film . That things like that are very dangerous especialy if they get out oif hand , if they are blindly believed . The only thing i`m doing is showing the similaritys and parallels .

Ok, ok, good point.

A bigot is clearly a bigot, based on facts.
BUT, who decides if anybody is a nut and why is someone a nut?
Just because they don't understand things, or act "out of the norm"?
This, to me, seems pretty judgemental and distantiating, creating more distance between people.

Hokus pokus is another thing, why is anything hokus pokus?
Just because someone believes in something someone else doesn't believe in (even if it's proven that it's not true) that doesn't make it wrong.
Can be a misjudgement or a misinterpretation or just the need for a belief in something although it's not necissarily true, but that doesn't make it wrong does it?

I've had some pretty far out beliefs of my own, but I could laugh about it afterwards, but before that I had to realise what I actually was believing in.
Suggesting that people that believe in stuff (you think or know for a fact is bs) should laugh about themselves is like saying:"You're wrong" or "You're a nut"
Wich is basicly judgement.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not accusing you, I'm just trying to bring some perspective/get some understanding here.

I'm learning all the way

 

[GOD]

Dont worry about me just be yourself .

I`m not saying anything diferent than that film .

I`m rubbing peoples own shit in their faces . When they ( not you ) raed my post they have the choice to stick their noses in the air and ignore it / their bigotry / stupidity , or look at themselves and deny it / prove that they are bigots , or look at it , think about it and wake up / learn .

This is the reason why a few people cant acept what i say sometimes . They dont like looking in their own mirror . They adopt opinions without thinking about them and then claim that they are facts . Then when i confront them with it they get agressive , take it personaly .

I am myself 8)

And yes, people avoid looking in the mirror and shit does get out of hand.
But it's people's own responsibility.

I think I'll watch Religulous another time and have a laugh
Or better continue my 8 hour Nassim Haramein presentation...

 

[GOD]

Better watch religulous .

The title religeous / ridiculous and then the music and the parts of those songs he chose to use say exactly what hes thinking and trying to get across . People twisting things , believeing things that are absolutly irational and the trouble it can cause .

"We`re on a road to nowhere" says it all .

 

[grifter7]

i've become attached to the mirror and its one of the things i intend to do n my first shroom trip (so soon now) i've been told it doesn't always go so well. I might go and watch Religulous sounds funny

Religulous is funny

i particularly liked the part when the stoners hair caught on fire and when bill went to put it out he found another J
that shit was classic
