David O. Russell Ideas Quotations

The religion itself may have some great ideas, but I can't take it seriously if it's blatantly exclusionary.

I think audiences deserve the benefit of the doubt. I prefer to be surprised by them rather then just assume they'll react negatively to any new idea.

When most people turn on their TVs, they don't expect a frank discussion of philosophical ideas in their practical context. Or any context.

I think if religion closes discussion or exchange of ideas or curiosity about other views, it's not true to its core.

The idea that anyone would think their religious ideas make them morally superior is just preposterous.
