what?
Don't take this personally anybody, but your country seems crazy to me sometimes...you can show foul language and people getting their heads blown off in every second movie, but you can't have a soldier swearing in a DOCUMENTARY!!!!
Basic point
My point is simply that as I said WE DON"T KNOW, and the fact that there are innumerable versions of what is supposedly the truth, is ample evidence of that. But most people are not happy to agree to disagree on an unknowable issue, therefore we have lots of ignorance arrogance and...
infinite variations
I think the endless permutations of it all are evidence of the fact that no particular faith has all the answers, for example I just stumbled on these guys...a Muslim sect who believe Jesus lived to a grand old age and is buried in Kashmir, funnily enough I know people...
been done
The sometimes juvenile but always entertaining Australian comedy show THE CHASER did exactly that, they went to Salt Lake City and knocked on doors very politely asking to hand out atheist literature, well what do you think the reaction was? What you'd expect, hostile! Not much...
threads missing
I came late to this, but surely Gilliam's BRAZIL would deserve an honourable mention in the aesthetic, and what about this, anyone who saw it can't help have been amazed by the wardrobe designs

This got no bids, anyone here interested in it? Not really golden age, but golden bear so close!

where to start
Well, there's the nation-state for a start, I believe even the US has a supposed separation of church and state, and the only two openly theocratically founded countries on earth are Israel and Pakistan.
Besides, who needs religion when we have capitalism? A thoroughly...
no point worrying about it
If we knew what happened after we died, religion, in its many quaint and superstitious forms, would not exist, because there would be no mystery to excite the fevered imaginations of those who fear death. Therefore who cares, because no-one KNOWS!!.. best to wait...
OPEC
Perhaps you are referring to the OPEC oil shock of 1973 when the oil exporting countries stopped the flow as a reaction against US support for Israel in the Yom Kippur war. (It was a bit more complicated than that, but it'll do as a summary)

lost in translation
I don't think there is a french equivalent of our favourite F-word, unlike German Dutch etc, which makes one wonder where the expression 'excuse my french' came from
I was watching the DVD of THE DIRTY DOZEN last night, fab old film, and I noticed that the officers were wearing Burberry trenches with insignia, now, did the US army issue them in WW2, or was that creative license from the wardrobe dept?
still going
O'Cedar is still on sale at the supermarket today, and I use it on the furniture regularly, not on the floor tho, for that you would need the now politically incorrect Picaninny Floor Polish which is hidden in the left-hand corner.
