Forums - Movies & TV - Hollywood anti catholic bullshit needs to stop

Maybe the writer(s) have had a bad experience with the catholic church.

I had bad experiences with most christian religions, catholic, jw,mormons, and even judaism. I think all fanatism suck. Hollywood is no exception but a bunch of gay bigots. So sad.

Why is it that every discussion about the merits of religion has to devolve into 'but science doesn't have ALL The answers either!' debates?

Nobody says that science has all the answers, at least not at any one given time. The whole point of science is to test and theorize and test and hypothesize and test some more. It's not perfect - by nature it can't be - but it's a lot more accurate than anything religion offers.

When comparing the two, here's how it goes:

Science - "How do I know? Well, I tested the theory, I repeated the results, I had it vetted by another who was able to also recreate my results in a lab. It was then posted and challenged in an open forum for others to criticise and scrutinize, and they all agreed as well."

Religion - "How do I know? I read it in a book, and the author of that book assures me that they wouldn't lie to me."

These two shouldn't even be in the same discussion. Science may not have all the answers and may never be perfect, but at least it attempts to answer questions with distiguishable authority. Religion does no such thing. The people who criticising religion - especially the catholic religion - aren't doing it from a place of arrogance or superiority (most of the time), but are criticising it because any belief system DESERVES to be criticised, scrutinized, and tested if they want to make the sort of claims ANY religion makes about our origins and the greater nature of the world around us.

By denying any scrutiny or critique, religion has basically opened itself up to be the target of hate and disrespect. until it can back up its claims with evidence of ANY sort, it doesn't deserve your respect, and should be laughed at for the joke it is.

Sadly we don't live in that world; we live in a world where religion is, for some stupid reason, put on the same level of science and demands the same amount of respect. Religion deserves to be in a science class about as much as Alex Jones needs to be teaching history. Or Trump deserves to be in the white house. Completely ill-equipped to fulfil that position.

Except that's not what's happening here. The problem described by the OP is a socio-cultural problem. One could argue that's neither science nor religion in itself. The second discussion conserning the existance of God is something that falls in the realm of philosophy. Why? No science has the tools nor methods to say anything meaningful. Giving reason for ideas is something philosophical.

Some tried to hamfist science into the cosmological argument. I'm sorry, that just won't work. Sometimes you have to accept something is outside the realm of your chosen field.

Many people perceive religion to not be open whatsoever to scrutiny and respect. Often, that's not entirely true. There's an entire field to studying religion. It's called theology. And it's not some stale method either. Insights are renewed every so often.

By claiming this lack of "scientificness" opens religion to redicule solely bases on these grounds says more about your grounded lack of morals than your dedication to science.

They did alot of fucked up stuff in the past like the crusades. They held back the human civilization by a few hundred years by killing philosophers and inventors for a long time. Currently, they have a pedo problem but instead of reporting anything to the police, they tried to cover it up by moving the priests around. If they catch some flak for it then oh well.

So you know what the proportional rate of pedofile acts are compared to those of other religions? Because the media only loves to mention catholics because it's the largest group and garners the most attention. Do you think every other religious group doesn't have there own share of pedofiles? Theyre all human, no group is blessed with an advantage or a unique brain that makes them so different.even atheists commit the worst crimes. So we should all kill ourselves?

How does this come into play?

Hollywood and everyone else should be allowed to make fun of whatever they like. What's the big deal?

just reading the topic made me ask the question: "why?"

why does it need to stop exactly? long gone are the days that catholics could impose censorship or dictate how people should think / act.

so turns out the answer (even assuming the premise is a correct one) is no, it doesn't need to stop anything.

This is the 21st century where people are trying to make bridges and bring peace and religions together. We don't need hollywood telling us that catholics are fools and idiots. They've done alot more good for people than any other group, despite some scandals here and there over the years. We are talking of a population of over a billion! Let that sink in your mind for a bit. So there is bound to be some bad eggs. Now if i was to round up all the people from around the world who are athiests or from every other religious group, rapists pedos murderes, they'd be in the thousands. Now report it and make it big news. Should people belonging to that group feel ashamed and leave? Or should they stick to what they believe in. The people in hollywood don't give a shit deep down, otherwise they'd try do something about it like organise protests and more awareness, donations to causes. Except they want to offend people with morals doing the right thing and trying to enjoy a movie.

The big deal is that im seeing it often, every year, and 100% of the time the people behind the movie are so called jewish american or jewish american who call themselves atheists. Now if a non jew make a movie making fun of or dissing moses or judaism, there'd be anti semitism thrown at them so fast, lawsuits etc. So it kills me that there is this agenda to shit on catholics by a group of people in hollywood, over the years.

Well, I guess we've officially gone to Jewish conspiracy land now.

It would be more acceptable to fuck oneself than priests molding little boys to be their own sex toys. Worse, their own hipocracy of their own teachings to be righteous; it's an abomination. The book of Revelation even warns to be aware of the many different types of churches (literally and figuratively). Even worse, the hierarchy protects their own as if they're above the law. The Bible never mentioned to NEVER marry. It's honestly what is giving the idea of religion a bad rep.
