	Thanks for watching!
	Now, just to finish, I've been talking, you know, I've talked in the reveal about how religious belief that is unquestionable, that you can't question, that you won't question, is one of the great, and same with political belief, cultural belief, all of them, is one of the great ways that we are, I was going to say we are kept from the truth, but actually if you think about it, we keep ourselves from the truth by falling for that.
	Because if you have, let's take a religious belief, and everything in the Bible is true because it's the word of God.
	So even the contradictions, well, there may be contradictions, but that's God's will because he wrote it, right?
	He didn't.
	And so You have a belief system and you won't go into any area of research and potential evidence that would put that belief system under question, under threat, because you're not questioning it.
	That is how it is.
	End of story.
	And it means that People like me who will go there, I'm just interested in what's happening.
	I've got no preconceived belief that is unquestioning or unquestionable.
	You're then sort of seen as ungodly or against God or not believing in Jesus and what have you.
	That's fair enough.
	I don't care what people believe.
	It's up to them.
	It's when they impose it on other people that I get interested.
	But if you if you do look at this, this unquestioning belief is what in so many ways has got us where we are.
	And I don't think that's an accident.
	You know, I mean, you know, religions that are unquestioning play a central role in the The control of perception, thus the control of seeing what the world really is and where it's really going.
	And I saw this clip this week.
	It's by an actor.
	I don't watch the movies much, so I never heard of him, but apparently he's very famous.
	Called Matthew McConaughey.
	And he was asked if he had a religious belief.
	And this is what he said.
	He talks here about unity, how religion means unity.
	But of course, unity could mean coming together.
	But it could also mean groupthink.
	A group think that you weren't questioned.
	But what I found good about this, and what he said, is that he was saying that he takes from the Bible basically what feels right, and what works for him, and some of this other stuff that he can't understand, he just leaves it alone.
	Anyway, this is what he said.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And I want to bring this up in this day and age when people go, no, I'm not religious.
	I'm only spiritual.
	You know what the Latin root of religion is?
	Re ligare.
	And ligare means to bind together.
	Re means again.
	Well, in a world that's saying I'm only spiritual because I want unity, that's exactly what religion means.
	We've bastardized the meaning of it over time, and we've excluded people, and we've corporatized and such, but yes, I am religious.
	That character, you know, I had written stories.
	I'd written a college paper called John Wayne Goes West, and it was about how can you be a believer?
	In a world of science.
	And I remember writing things like, during the making of that movie, like, science is the practical pursuit of God.
	The two are not exclusive.
	They dance together.
	They go together.
	Belief in science.
	And I never saw those as contradictions.
	And that's part of what the reason I attacked that role and became part of that movie.
	I wanted to play a person that had that point of view of a believer in a world of science.
	Not at the exclusion of science and not at the exclusion of belief.
	Yeah, it's a confusing role for a lot of people if someone is a believer and also a proponent of science.
	Because they want to know what are your literal beliefs.
	Like, are you taking the Bible at its literal word or do you use it as some sort of a guidebook of the experiences of these people that lived thousands of years ago that have been translated from multiple different languages back to English.
	And is there wisdom in those translations, is there wisdom in those original thoughts, these thousands of years of people contemplating and mulling on these things, and that so many have used these as a scaffolding for morals and ethics and for societies?
	Yeah.
	It's... I mean, you know, for people that go, oh, it's...
	It's a circus book for people that are non-believers, and I'm like, well, it's still the best one going.
	There's a lot of great truths that come out of the Bible, and it is open for a lot of people.
	It has been interpreted and reinterpreted.
	It has been translated.
	It has been handed down.
	I, for myself, I don't know what to do in my daily life with the burning push.
	I don't know what to do with that.
	I do Know what to do with Love You Maybe Like Yourself.
	I do know what to do with Matthew 6.22.
	If the eye be single, that whole body will be full of light.
	I do know what to do with some Proverbs that I can take into daily practice and go, Oh, I felt.
	My life.
	I felt improvement.
	I felt success in my relationships, in my relationship with the day, with my career, by following that.
	By treating others how I wanted to be treated, the golden rule.
	So I take the practical stuff myself and try to utilize it and then pick out what can work for me.
	And, you know, if we'd only do that, take what feels right and leave to the rest, then you can get the best of what's in these holy books, like the Bible.
	I mean, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
	I mean, how can you argue with that?
	There are some great lines in the Bible, really good moral guidance for how we could live a nicer life and interact with each other in a nicer way.
	But there's some absolute garbage, and there's a lot of bloodthirsty, jealous gods in there as well, in the Old Testament not least, And if you take a book like the Bible or the Koran or any of them, and you say, this is the Word of God, then God can't be wrong.
	And therefore, you've got to live with the contradictions.
	And it also means that what you can do is so much the Word of God, so I'm going to take this bit because it suits me and what I want to do, and I'm going to take this bit because it suits me and what I want to do.
	So you can justify Netanyahu does it, quoting the Bible to justify what's happening in Gaza.
	But if you just take the best bits, the positive bits, and leave the rest, then you get the benefit of the great bits, and you don't get the contradictions of the nonsense and the bloodthirsty bits.
	And it's real simple.
	And what it comes down to in the end is questioning every statement, no matter what the source is.
	So if I'm listening to someone, And I don't agree with them on lots and lots of things.
	I'll still listen to every statement.
	And I'll hear things and I think, well, yeah, I actually agree with that mate.
	I'm not dismissing every last thing you say just because I don't agree with most of it.
	And nor am I going to accept everything that someone says mostly I would agree with.
	Just because I would mostly agree with them.
	I'm still going to listen to every statement and go, well, actually, I agree with you on that, but no, I can't go with that.
	Because you're making judgments on statements, not taking groupthink, my side good and all knowing, your side bad and blaspheming.
	It's just taking control of your perceptions back and not handing them to some groupthink, some religion, some political party or some cultural belief system.
