"Creation" is the new a new film set to hit cinema in late September and this is where I am glad to say I am British and not American as personally, I can't wait till it comes out.
I which I could say I was surprised that the US have decided not to show this film in cinemas but I'm really not.
God-damn religious Americans.

The theory of Evolution and Atheism as a whole deserves to be recognised as a REAL belief and should be taught in schools as everyone is entitled to make up their own mind and not just follow the one religion which their parents have passed to them, making them either too afraid or too ignorant to stand up and say "I do not believe in God!".

Or am I the only one who thinks this? ^_^


P.S. - RICHARD DAWKINS FTW!

I'm really shocked! I thought America was supposed to be a super-duper land of freedom and such stuff. Am I wrong? I mean what's with all those forbidden movies? Here I can at least go on off-movie show to watch something that isn't shown in commercial cinemas... Please explain this to me, I've never been in America and I'm just wondering... sweatdrop

It doesn't really matter if you want a movie to be shown, as long as the people owning the cinemas refuse to show it, they will not show it.

Can you limit your hurtful words to the religious majority of America so us American Atheists can not feel somewhat attacked by you bashing our country?

The motto is
" America, the home of the free as long as we like it. "
Pretty much, they rule America so they choose what they want to do.
I find it stupid that our country is actually favoring a religion over all the others. What does that say for the rest of us?
Jesus, I find America to be the largest hypocrite ever.
The only reason we are here right now is because we tricked McIntosh, the Indian Chief, into giving us lands for a measly amount of money that couldn't even get them all some houses.

And also, do not worry. People here just like to speak freely of their ideas. Don't take it personally. It is just that alot of us don't trust how our country is.
Especially me.

Yeah, I guess I should get used to this sorta thing since I am just a minority here in America. Maybe one day that'll change.
