What's with all these religious piles of holy crap ?

You sound like a true Christian to me. like the early Christians. Jesus never told us to go to church he told us we were the church. and Revelation is clear that there are no Temples in heaven as God and the Lamb are the Temple religion is created by man. Jesus told us to open ourselves up to the Holy Spirit not to engage in ritual the entire New Testament is a rejection of ritual. sacrifice. going through the motions and the last thing Jesus did before going home was tear down the curtain in the Temple..
Not sure your depth of knowledge but the Pharisees and church leaders believed that only they could have access to God in the Holy of Holies.a room in the temple. hard to get to.I read you had to climb a wall to get there and only the special priest could do it to be close to God FOR the people like once a yearetc. there was a CURTAIN in the Holy of Holies and symbolically this separated the common man from God but not the allegedly special church leadersPharisees
By tearing down the curtain not from the bottom but from the top it signified DIVINE communication from God that no longer was God going to tolerate allegedly special men separating his "church" (church being souls of men and women) from him while they claimed divine license from God..
What I find so ironic is that Jesus tore down one curtain and destroyed the Jewish temple and then the Roman Catholics replaced it with the exact same thing. is the argument that God didn't like the Jewish Pharisees so he wanted new kids on the block to act just like the Pharisees but only with new clothing and cathedrals instead of temples?
I hardly think so
Someone called me agnostic the other day because I no longer believe in "Catholicism"I was pretty upset. agnostic means to doubt there is a God or to be skeptical. as opposed to atheism.. I am the polar opposite of that I love God I love Jesus. I just don't think the Catholic Church is great as an institution. its an out of control beast plenty of wonderful priests multitudes of wonderful Catholics. but, just because I think it is not awesome does not make me agnostic.
I am a true faithful believer in God and Jesus as my savior. I just don't believe in the Catholic church. but the Catholic church, despite its arrogant claims to divinity is not God nor does it have a monopoly on God nor does any other man made religion in my view. and why do I need a middle man (pastor, priest) who is supposedly more special to God than me or saintetc to give me absolution for my sins didn't the tearing down of the curtain mean I, like the Pharisees now have a right to directly pray to God without the middleman??? And even Revelation is clear here too the angel tells John not to worship him or give him praise as the angel, like John, is a servant of God as well so I have to give confession to a priest and not God directly why again???
Nor do I believe I have to align myself with the protestants as some sort of protest against Catholicism as some people define the difference like there is only Catholic and everything else??? hardly. lol
Again..to me faith in God and Jesus is not defined by an opinion of or relationship with or without the Catholic Church or other man made church. that religion just developed power over the years. that's all my relationship is with God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit.I dont define myself by some man made group or denomination nor do I feel I have no right to be part of Jesus' church because I don't attend some mortals human made church
Again so you don't attend a building so what.that doesn't mean you aren't Christian maybe you're not only you know your heart as does God but it drives me bananas when good people(and real Christians instead of mere churchgoers) get turned off to Jesus and or God because of the moronic actions of human dingalings grouping together in buildings and merely claiming whatever they do is okay because its in the name of God

Or if you didn't want to see these things, you just wouldn't see them or talk about them? Why are so many atheists so darn whiny lately that they are completely incapable of just watching something else? Not evolved that far yet?

no one is forcing you to watch these "religious piles of holy crap", so i'm guessing you aren't wasting your time or money, so why do you care? as for the talent, no one if forcing the actors/directors etc. to participate in these movies either. why do you care so much anyway? I don't necessarily believe in the bible, but if people want to spend their lives believing in it and if it's what helps make them happy, it's nothing to do with me and more power to themI don't really get why so many atheist get so bent out of shape over itseems like they feel threatened or something

Gee, that's a toughy, maybe because the vast majority of Americans profess to be Christians and movies that appeal to them generate big box office numbers.
The closer they adhere to the biblical narrative, the better they do.
