I like the new word highlighted in the above comment! It sounds a lot like "ridiculous" which is a fair assessment of so much of what passes for religion. Upon searching the word I found it is the name of documentary on religion by Bill Maher, which, I guess, is where you got it from. I viewed the trailer for it; I can hardly wait to see it. I presume you already have?

Yep, a couple times. It's very entertaining.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Most people understand what fake news is. It's the special few who think Trump's definition is the correct one.
