I don't need anybody to do a thing; mostly I open my heart as a bombardment arena. In other words; I test my own beliefs against the fine counter-arguments that will sure be brought up.

Intelligent stuff. Didn't see the film, but saw some quotes that made me think like "hey; that's pretty smart".. Despite my allergy to law schools since I watched few episodes of "Ally Mcbeal" when I was very young. I hated it.
My brain didn't turn to mush yet; I assure you ! I might have some damaged nerves because of M.S, but remember: that affects the functions of the body, like vision (optic nerves); but think of your body as an old PC that needs a turn off (rest) every now on then. cool down a little. Then you're -I mean I'm- good to go!
Until I want to rest up again ><. But it never affects the thinking. Believe me.

It's not an act of desperation at all. Usually I spend lots of times watching youtube videos; if I like the topic then bam: here you go.
Believe me; I don't judge. I can be in anybody's shoes; literally. The worst enemy for you is pride; just have that and the next fall will hurt like it was off an airplane.
See the face of the teenage that goes into a fight thinking he'll kick ass; and he instead get beaten and kicked in front of his friends or crush. Not judging on the other hand is better: you just remain silent and just be thankful.
Ask yourself: why the hell am I writing this after all? aside from testing what I hear?
Fake Messiah
Jesus is another greek God according to what many Christians say; the mistake begins with associating human traits like birth to God; converting him into a "personal God". Once you step in that direction; God is nothing but a dress you can tailor to fit you; a picture you can draw in the glass of your Church.
It fits the political world better: imagine having a drug like that. You can wage wars in the name of that personal deity, bless kings and steel the money of the poor.
I don't think we've spoken. This will probably be the first and last time.
I dislike when someone claims they do not judge; that is a bald-faced lie and whenever someone says that, it's unbelievably irritating because it betrays both their disconnect from reality and astounding arrogance. It literally could not do more to indicate the opposite of what you're claiming than to just come right out and say it directly. So you've already given me good reason to just write you off from the start. You call pride an enemy and yet it seems to be constantly tickling whatever part of you controls your ability to achieve climax. Is there any ability to self-reflect left at all or has the poison coursing through your synapses completely purged that vital component of a healthy mind?
Want to be taken seriously, and not make others feel they're being disrespected and lied to when you engage them in conversation? It's going to take a LOT of work but if deep down you're a decent enough human being (I'll suspend judgment on that) you'll put in the effort. There are a lot of books out there that can help you get over that kind of hump.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
