" Penn & Teller's Bullshit - Holier Than Thou With Christopher Hitchens

To most of the world, highly revered figures such as Mother ... all » Theresa, Mahatma Gandhi and the Dalai Lama are larger-than-life symbols of love, peace and charity. But how much of our perception of "sainthood" is built on hype and not facts? This episode reveals the dark side of the so-called enlightened ones and delves into why we're so susceptible to buying into their bullshit."

PEACE

You know, there's probably a guy in India right now, sitting in a bar saying, "I knew Ghandi. He was a prick!"

Didn't watch this particular episode, but I think it's widely known that Ghandi liked to sleep with young girls.

 

[_Dude]

Ghandi was pretty racist against blacks. Don't even look into Albert Schweitzer, lol.

I don't consider any person holy as if they are human they are just like everyone else. There are good people but no holy people and I don't think we should worship any other person.

damn Ghandi sleeping with young girls and wtf is with giving them enemas lol, what a sicko.

The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.

Granted, he had some points. Most "saints" are always somewhat scandalous. They really did blow things out of context on Ghandi. Hate to say it, but the black culture is a losing culture. I'm not saying there's anything different about blacks as a race... but as far as technological advancments and contribution society goes over the past 1500 years the whole African continent (except those which are non black) has been very staggering. Their animist beliefs are ridiculous. There have been exceptions, and the white man is somewhat to blame. Knock out the parts of central africa that are infested with the dreaded tse tse fly and the northern sahara, the rest of Africa is alright. Which basically leaves you with the south half of africa. I see no reason outside of social conflict that so many of the Africans are stuck in the dark ages. Every "race" of people faces social conflict as a society. What it really comes down to is your core beliefs in reasoning, those are the fundamentals in what determines the advancments in society.



In regards to the hypocricy of Mother Teresa, she was Catholic. What do you expect? Jesus himself said there should be no position higher than a bishop, prayer should be done in private, he taught people the Torah, not once claimed he was God as an omnipotent figure, and was likely married to Mary Magdolin, and said priests should be married to help people deal with their relationship problems. The hypocricy of New World religions are infinite and covered in folly.

Don't forget though, India has a caste system which makes it alot harder to bring in charities. My great uncle Jack Preger started Calcutta Rescue and worked with Mother T. He helped millions of people by vaccinating them in the name of the Catholic church as a street side stand where anyone could just come to it and get medicine, this was in 79 before the Indian government decided to send him to jail for exposing a massive children sex trade. He did it all in the name of what he believed to be "God." Though my points of view differ, and coming from his family and having met him, I can say that faith is a great thing if taken with a grain of salt to compare to religious dogma.

Religion is not perversion at all. Though he picked on everyone and brought up some irrefutable points (some debateable though), he ultimatley used them not to correct what is wrong with PEOPLE, but instead call God bull shit and mock what we believe. I find this highly offensive because he is using it against something that is great. He acts as if religion is bull shit because he can't percieve God being an omnipotent figure, and acts as if he's better. But in reality, he just is as negative as the Catholics during the inquistions. Disguisting. Yes, I do realize I'm setting myself up to logical folly by degrading him, I'm just saying - he's used his name to defile peoples beliefs, and yet claims to be helping you? How can any of you respect this guy?

"widely known that Ghandi liked to sleep with young girls."

Yes, but it was to see if he would fall into temptation and fuck their brains out. Mother Theresa is a catholic, so she obviously has typical ignorant catholic viewpoints. Dali Lama, well he never really chose to be the Dali Lama, and he preaches good stuff, so I don't see whats wrong with him.

Now I will watch the video....

Hmm, Mother Teresa, hey I never knew she did anything at all, I thought she was just a figurehead for the sake of it. Money all went into churches, big surprise, no different than most religious charities. Didn't do anything to relieve suffering, not really shocking, religious charities in general don't relieve suffering.

Ghandi liked enemas, Hindus do that, they swallow rope and tie rags to it too.

Dali lama, no surprise there, I don't think P&T did enough research on the issue. I obviously agree he ain't nothing but a regular human, but thats not the point, China is the greater evil no matter what.

-China destroyed all but a few of the monastaries (6500+).
-Hijacked the selecting of Dali lama, so there is a Chinese appointed Dali Lama.
-All monks/nuns unnecessary for the few remaining TOURIST monasteries are imprisoned.
-China is shipping in Chinese to dilute the Tibetans out of Tibet.
-Forced a crop change to wheat which they KNEW wouldn't grow... starvation on mass
-The current Chinese treat the Tibetans like total shit, lower than cattle.
-Total death toll upto 1.2 million

Do I think the Dali Lama should be put in charge of Tibet, hell no, but freeing it from China is a good idea.

Not the most educating episode of P&T, but not bad. The episode on circumsicion changed my view completely though, I always bought the whole "it prevents diseases" hook line and sinker, not anymore, that shit is WRONG. Overall not the biggest deal though.
