The Most Censored Films About Religion?
April 11, 2009
In this internet age, censorship of film and video critical of religion might become more difficult. Or maybe not, if few websites are willing to display them, for fear of legal action or violence. Those who maintain both bandwidth capacity and moral courage deserve gratitude.
It is hard to say which film about religion may have aroused the most censorship. An instructive recent example of video censorship is provided by Fitna, the 2008 film by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders. Among the reactions to this film was another film titled Schism.
To see Fitna and Schism visit wikileaks and also read the wikileak commentary and analysis of censorship.
On the topic of criticism of Islam, mention should be made of the 2004 film Submission by Ayaan Hirsi Ali (a member of the Dutch parliament) and Theo Van Gogh (filmmaker murdered by a Muslim radical in 2004). See this film here:
Logic has it: Jesus was either a liar or a lunatic
April 9, 2009
Christians really don’t need logic, they have it so easy. Jesus said he was God, so he must be God. After all, Jesus couldn’t have been a liar or a lunatic, right? Those are terrible things to say about anyone, much less someone so revered. Protestant theologians have been using this "argument" for a while now, following the lead of Josh McDowell and William Lane Craig. Works great on people who already worship Jesus. No wonder theologians use this argument when speaking to the choir.
As for the rest of us who don’t believe in any god, logic deals with this argument easily enough. Thanks to
