Religulous

The new religion mocking film by Bill Maher called Religulous, is due out in theaters tomorrow.

Maher mocking religion is nothing new and he really, to an extent - has a point. When you look back at the Inquisition, pedophile priests, money hungry tele-evangelists and others who have deceived or damaged in the name of God - religion deserves to be mocked.

However his case that religion has been the single greatest cause of death and destruction on the planet is inaccurate. That title belongs to Atheistic communism, which is estimated by some to be responsible for over 100 million deaths.

So religions or religious views aren't the the issue at hand - rather it is mankind's sinful nature that's the problem. This film inadvertently proves that point - we are a fallen and sinful race that has done everything in it's power to reconnect to the God who gave us life - failing miserably at our man made efforts to do so.

Man's only hope for that change of nature and reconnection to God comes only by the transforming power of Jesus Christ - and that has nothing to do with man made religion.
