I don't beleive in religion for one simple fundamental rule.
Religion started a long time ago, and its primary function was to solve the question of "why are we here?" and so people explained this by saying we are here on the whim of a much more powerful creator, someone so amazing that our minds can't even understand.
So now, we are just faced with an even bigger problem, how does he exist?
Another thing that annoys me, is that religions have to be old, if a new religion is created, its called a cult? Even though these modern religions probably are more relevant to current issues than older ones. People work on Sundays even though the bible forbids it, and its unrealistic to expect someone not to work on Sundays.
You said it in 2 paragraphs, exactly my beliefs.

so? I just point out that it's not coincidence...
Zombies, werewolves, vampires, ...etc were all thought up in later years, when people started to get concious about fiction
I don't say dragons are real, I just find it interresting that the story in the Bible describes what seems to be a dragon...
Not taking the bible seriously is your opininion... I believe the Bible is true, and others with me. Alot of people don't. It's just a matter of opinion
-edit- As animal in a film, crocodile are common creatures, yes. (after the dog, and I think the horse is more common too, but that aside)
Animals are a rarity in films, at least crocodiles. nowadays it's all sci-fi (almost no animals), fantasy (fantasy animals), drama (only people) and action (most common a dog, and sometimes a crocodile)
The movie I saw wasn't an action movie, but an animated movie, somewhat drama
So you're saying people in the past were ready to believe anything really?
Therefore the people who wrote the bible were ready to BELIEVE anything they though was TRUE, even if it was completely irrational and couldn't be true in let's say... 2000 years?
You just owned yourself I do believe.
