    Religion + Ignorance = Terrorism
    I am Greek and I love Greek philosophy, I believe in philosophy just like Hypatia, I appreciate the fact that there are people who actually care about the catastrophes that religions have brought into this world. The sheeps are emotionally attached to their god and they kneel and obey to him without even knowing what his scripts represent. If people weren't ignorant, no one would be enslaved by dogma, I don't want to say anything more, this movie is about Christianity, a religion which killed the smarts and destroyed the Greek scripts of wisdom, I hope some people will understand. Thank you for making this film
