NEW YORK (AP) -- Organized religion? Bruce Willis says its days are numbered. Politics? He didn't bother to vote last time around. Race? If he were black, the star of "Die Hard" says he'd be standing with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
"Modern religion is the end trail of modern mythology," he told George magazine. "But there are people who interpret the Bible literally. Literally! I choose not to believe that's the way. And that's what makes America cool, you know?"
Willis said if he were black, "I'd be with Farrakhan, too."
"A lot of people feel Louis Farrakhan stands for a lot of negative things," Willis said. "But he is raising his voice against inequality. Anyone who stands up against injustice is a hero of mine."
Willis also said he switched from Democrat to Republican in 1992 and supported President Bush for re-election because he felt Bill Clinton's campaign was too divisive. But he sat out the 1996 election between Dole and President Clinton because he considered the Republican "a nitwit."
Willis' latest film, the action movie "Armageddon," comes out in July.

He's right.
Personal faith in Jesus Christ... is on the upswing while organized religion based on fundamentalism of all stripes, is going down bigtime.
It's going down all over the planet.

Organized religion? Bruce Willis says its days are numbered. Not so far fetched really. People are turning to God, and not some building, label or organization. Just returning to a personal relationship between themselves and God. As it should be. imho
