Talulah Bankhead as the average religious person
Talulah Bankhead's performance really rings true to the average everyday ordinary religious person. Though her character is so common, yet Talulah keeps it fresh and entertaining.

shareYou think that's how the "average, ordinary" person of faith acts? Oh boy...
shareIf you don't think so, check out the imdb religion, faith, spirituality board. Some of the people are more sick than displayed in this film.
shareThe people on those boards are hardly what I would call "average". A person can have faith in God or whatever else and not be a zealot who thinks the color red is the "Devil's color" or loses their mind if a girl wears lipstick. Unfortunately, the loud mouth fools who condemn others and act like they're Jesus are the ones most people associate with all religious people.
But you liberals won't say anything about Muslims in fear that you will be labeled Islamophobics.
shareWho's a liberal? That comment makes you sound like an idiot. Have you looked at the religion board here? I'd say 90% are psychotic in their belief, with only 10% falling into a moderate belief where they actually accept people without being so judgemental as to go against their belief in being hateful.
shareOnly stating a fact. Because it's true that atheists hardly ever go after Muslims. It's mostly always Christians they go after. I would say 95 percent of the time.
Never knew there was a religious board here.
That seems to be changing as the current president has made acceptance of Muslims his life goal, despite what we've been seeing from them lately. I don't know many that can whitewash what their belief had the extremists doing, while the moderates sit by and watch, either because they don't care or are afraid to say something themselves.
Also, you have to take into account that Christianity is the most prevalent in the states, so it's obviously the one that will feel a backlash if there is a perception of bigotry on their part. And certainly groups like that psychotic Westboro Baptist group don't help, but they are outspoken enough to grab a ton of negative media attention.
This is why we need a president like Trump to put those dirty Muslims in their place. Same goes for the Mexicans that come over here illegally.
And I hate it when they call Mexicans Hispanic. The only true Hispanics come from Spain and Portugal. And true Hispanics are white, not brown. I know because I'm from Spain.
Westboro Baptist group, you mentioned them being psychotic. Muslim extremists are what would be called psychotic. Sure, Westboro would be if they started killing people.
And there is no such thing as Islamophobia. It's just a new term the left has came up with (Like Homophobia.) There are valid reasons to fear Muslims. One is that they can't be trusted. No valid reason to fear Westboro. They might call a person every hateful thing in the book, but they won't kill anyone.
lol. Common? lol.
shareTalulah Bankhead's performance really rings true to the average everyday ordinary religious person.I can see why someone might think that but it's not true. What she portrays is a religious fanatic or a fanatic in general. Ironically, whatever their religion or beliefs, religious fanatics tend to have more in common with each other than they do with the non-fanatics in their own religion. Here are some of the characteristics fanatics share:
Word
shareA lot of the you wrote could go for atheists too because they try to make people see things their way.
Then Bankhead's character is hypocritical because the Bible says, "Thou shall not kill."
You mean atheists make people look at facts based on science, which doesn't try and prove a god doesn't exist. Understandin the natural world had no bearing on someone's belief, but ignoring facts makes those people ignorant to reality.
shareI look at facts based on science too. Micro-evolution is a fact based on science because scientists can observes things in the now. We see under a microscope that the flu virus changes from year to year which is why we need to change vaccines all the time.
There are many other facts based on science. Macro-evolution, the big bang are not facts, just theories. But to atheists, they just sound better than believing in a God.
Macro evolution is based on facts and actual examples. Just look here: http://evolutionlist.blogspot.com/2009/02/macroevolution-examples-and-evidence.html?m=1
shareI've read it, and I agree with the comments all these are examples are of micro-evolution.
Sure, there are minor changes in humans such as adapting to a certain climate, etc, but nothing like changing from ape to man, or a species turning into another species.
It's NOT micro if they can no longer breed. It has just become a separate species.
sharei know. the point is a theory is just a theory.
shareNo, that's not true. Theories are based on observations AND facts. Gravity is less proven than evolution, but you believe in the theory of gravity, correct?
