...

There's not many ways of saying how I feel right now. I want to vomit.

It's a trailer for a new movie coming out, "Jesus Camp". I just watched the trailer. And it's scary as hell.

Ever seen those videos of little Iraqi or Iranian kids marching with AK's or grenades, screaming how they're going to die for their belief? These are the same kids, willing to take their belief and die for it, if they aren't able to convert the rest of the world to their side. They're just doing it in the name of Jesus. But it's the same thing.

Religion, to me, is an appendix. It's evolutionary un-necessary. Religion may have helped early societies stay together and all that, but in this day and age, we don't need it. You wanna believe in an imaginary caprenter in the clouds? Go for it. You wanna spend your free time talking to yourself? Enjoy. As long as this appendix is healthy, keep it, I don't care. But when it gets to this point, where you are declaring a war, brainwashing 5-year old kids, that's when the appendix has inflamed and you've gotta tear it out.
