Kid Cid Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 OK, so anything that works at killing off Christianity (or any religion for that matter) should be applauded, this is clearly the work of a group of xenophobic Christians who have a highly warped view of the world we live in. They are taking a page right out of the Kim Jong Il handbook of How to Win Friends and Influence Enemies by creating this strawman and then railing against the evils this strawman is perpetrating upon them. Once the rest of the world seeing how batchit crazy they are and starts calling them as such, they will then point out every last move made against them, evidence of their predictions coming true. It is a self fulfilling prophecy of the worst kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathpig Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Is anyone here familiar with the works of Joseph Campbell (mythology/psychology)? And I mean familiar more than just 'I read Hero of a Thousand Faces once for school'? A lot of his work was understanding the importance of mythology in society, partly as a concept of the origins of shared societal morality but more from the point of view of the individual needing a certain degree of inner psychological fulfillment derived from that mythology. The latter part of his work was him analyzing where mythology would originate from/live in a society that has rationally killed traditional myths and religion. I could probably write an essay on that movie based on Campbell's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
