Marjoe (1972)

7/24: Religion has always been a scam.

Marjoe Gortner illustrates how in the Academy Award-winning documentary called Marjoe. These people who fell for it have to be feeling stupid, especially when he repeated his preaching style in front of his dog at the end.

It's all a joke. In fact, Marjoe Gortner could've been an actor or a rock 'n' roll musician instead. That's exactly what he did after he decided to give up his old life. The documentary is actually hard to find, having been barely shown to the South during the 70's in fear of causing an outrage.

When I watched some of the idiots shaking their bodies violently upon being touched by Marjoe, I thought about why they were doing that and then realized it's a learned behavior as a result of watching others doing the same thing. They actually thought it's Jesus Christ coming through Marjoe Gortner in a portal-like manner.

All in all, Marjoe Gortner is a rarity because he had the balls to come out in public and say, "Yeah, the whole thing is a con."
