"If men get into a fight with one another, and the wife of one intervenes to rescue her husband from the grip of his opponent by reaching out and seizing his genitals, you shall cut off her hand; show no pity."
Seriously, I just pulled that right out the bible. And If you think that was a gem, you need to check out the quran and hadith for even more fun stuff.
Yep, sure sounds like some divinly inspired stuff there....
C'Mon people, this stuff is silly in the extreme, it is time we just were honest about it and accepted how nutty it all is.
Does one person here really think that Noah got EVERY living creature on his boat? Even Polar Bears and Komodo Dragons and Grizzly Bears? (Wow, what did they eat? Must have been quite a walk/swim to get there)...No, you dont.
Do you really believe in the tower of Babal? Even though everything we know about human evolution and culture completely says the story is BS? No, You dont!
Do You really think that Gahndi is in Hell, because he was a hindu, but Ante Pavelic (the leader of croatias catholic nazi ss) would be in heaven, because he believed in Jesus? No, you dont.... But that is what your books say. In black and white.
Look somethings just plain deserve to be made fun of, and religion is one of them. Now, granted, this is what it is. It is a movie for non religious people to point and laugh at the willfully ignorant people, and that is all.
If you want a serious discussion on the topic, pick up The God Delusion or watch Richard Dawkins' "Root of All Evil".
