Lord of War



I liked it. Not your typical movie. I think I liked it most because it showed a small part of reality that is never seen by the public.

The movie was violent. It went places most people don't care to look. Made me sad really. I mean there's just so much shit out there!

On the way home, I thought of something. First I want to make it very clear that I'm a very optimistic person. I am a happy person, a good person and have a lot of love inside myself. But with all that being true, seeing this movie only further shows me that there is no god.

There I go again, putting god into this, well technically taking god out, LOL.

I was telling my recently super religious friend.

"Dan, I turn around, close my eyes and start to conjure all that I've been taught to understand of god. I start to feel warm. Even though my eyes are shut and I'm standing, I start to see light all around me. I start to loose sense of weather I'm standing or sitting. I'm overwhelmed with euphoria, like a dream I feel as if I'm in love. I feel as if I'm in the company of millions that know me and love me like I love them. At the same moment, I think to myself, like most things in life, I'm going to get use to this and its going to get boring, but it doesn't it feels as if it has all just started.

Then... I turn around to look back at you. I open my eyes. And I see things for how they really are. And I see that everything I just felt is fake. And illusion that has been introduced by fear and lack of acceptance, lack of responsibility. I realize that as lost as we are in the world we live in, we are even more lost with the lies that millions of people tell and share with each other every day. The lie of god."

Hey, don't get my wrong. God is all good and all great. The problem isn't him God. The problem is with the things human's do in God's name. The greatest sin of all. Kill. They kill in gods name, everyday.
