ugh

jesus camp is a very distressing film, but at least now i understand why people like richard dawkins are so vehemently against religion in any form (and fundamentalist christianity in particular). i've come to the firm conclusion that a sort of tragedy of the commons operates with religious belief; individually, there's benefit to dumb people being religious (some moral code being better than pure hedonism, say), but put 100 million dumb people and the bible together, and you have a problem. stupidity really depresses me. time for a drink.
