Bill Maher on Religion, Magic Kingdom and the Serpent

Image via Wikipedia In the chaotic times of uncertainty children look for a father figure and who is the best father figure of all 'The Almighty God". So we are going through a revivalist wave again where logical reasoning is abandoned for emotional security.

There is really nothing wrong in people having a belief system. After all mythical mind needs myths and stories to create a brain based emotional world. It kind of provides an anchor to the emotional stability. That is well and good but the trouble comes when every body gets in the business of telling others that they alone hold the keys to the "Magic Kingdom".

I think only one who does hold the keys to the magic kingdom is our omniscient "Disney" no one else (no pun intended here). They protect it through copyrights and patent laws. In that respect they legally do hold the keys to "Magic Kingdom" by charging a decent fee to enter it at 'Disney World".

Bill Maher's movie documents the trend of religious revivalism by providing many examples where well known people profess to make decisions based upon religious thinking.

These videos provide partial answer to the question people always ask

Question: "What is the Truth"
Answer : "The ideas that won the popularity contest of the day"

This also provides an explanation of why snake charmers always do the best. After all it is the reptilian part of the human brain that makes people take actions not the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

Who knows it best to manipulate the reptilian brain: A snake charmer after all. So throw away all knowledge and logic and reasoning learn to be a snake charmer.
