Today I watched the fifth episode of Dollhouse and it was amazing! Just like the other episodes I was completely engrossed in what was going on in the episode. In this episode Echo infiltrates a completely crazy religious cult for the FBI. In doing so we see just how brainwashed all the members are and how crazy the leader is. So I wonder how people can so blatantly follow a leader and put all their trust in them without any thought or intuition of their own. How can people take a huge leap of faith when there is no evidence or even logical sense to back it up? Basically, I want to know how people can convince themselves that their religion is the right religion. I feel that people tend to have a blind eye when it comes to the works and writings of religious intent; that people overlook what is plausible and embrace what is impossible. Many scientists have completely disregarded religion and hold it as a bane on human advancement. The most famous of which is Richard Dawkins; a renowned scientist at Cambridge University, published a book called, “The God Delusion”. In this work he proves that religion can be real based on the fact that it is regionalism; or where and how you were brought up. He states if you’re a diehard catholic and if instead of being born in the United States you were born in the Middle East chances are you would be a diehard Muslim.
