A Brief History of Disbelief.




Now, this post is clearly not for everyone. It's probably for a very small population of readers. I was looking for a good documentary last night and I came upon this three part BBC documentary called A Brief History of Disbelief.

" Jonathan Miller visits the absent Twin Towers to consider the religious implications of 9/11 and meets Arthur Miller and the philosopher Colin McGinn. He searches for evidence of the first ‘unbelievers’ in Ancient Greece and examines some of the modern theories around why people have always tended to believe in mythology and magic. So few representatives of atheism provide a compelling and earnest account for unbelief, let alone with the lucidity and intellectual vigor of Jonathan Miller. He is sincere and moving in this attempt to explain and understand the origins of the truth of disbelief of religious superstition and faith."

Now, if you have no interest in watching this or even reading about it, I do not care. Don't come to me or message me angry about this post. Like I said in the first post, anything goes in this blog. I found the Documentary to be very educational. If you're looking for something to listen to and learn from then click on the link under the picture and it will take you to all three parts.
