Let me first say this, so you understand where I'm coming from.
I'm not any adherent of any religion. If someone wants to believe in something, then, that's fine.....
But;
A person's belief is between them and their belief.
It's not for "prosteletysing', or whatever they - personally - believe in, and try in any way to foist it on others.
I'm not writing this to speak about religion, per see. Instead, I ent to discuss this veritè documentary alt these pole who believed what some man named Camping said was going to happen on 21 May, 2011. One interesting point not mentioned in this film; with utter gravitas, Mr Camping had previously predicted the end of the world" other dates; 6 September,1994 (changedmatter this failed to the 29th of September), 2 October, 2005.
This alone should serve as a good example of why one should never put their... Faith (pun intended) in someone they don't know.
If one is interested in how, what people get conned, look no further.
But, again, aside from putting one's deluded faith into this person, that's still not what interested me about this film.
In every piece involving religion, the people shown are typically not very bright, and fanatics - see veil violent.
Not these people.
They all seemed to be ... if not the proverbial 'rocket scientist', not that dumb. They all had very nice homes (at least they did. All of these people shown were spending every last bit of money they had - while they still could). None of them seemed to fit the 'fanatic' mould. I'd go so far as to say I'd really like to meet these people - talk with them, find out how they're doing.
For me, that's a big step, because in not one who likes many people. I won't say they touched me, but I could identify with them as few humans, ad's not some brainwashed automatons.
I haven't seen the whole film yet, so I don't know how it'll end - for them, that is.
