He gives man... INSTINCTS!! He give you this incredible gift and then what does he do, I swear for his own amusement, his own private, cosmic, GAGREEL! He sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time. LOOK, but don't touch... TOUCH, but don't taste... TASTE, don't swallow. HAHA! And while you're jumping from one foot to the next, what is he doing??? He's laughing his sick FCKING ASS OFF! HE'S A TIGHT ASS, HE'S A SADIST!!! HE'S AN ABSENTEE LANDLORD! WORSHIP THAT? ... NEVER. Better to reign in hell than serve in Heaven? Why not? I'm here on the ground with my nose in it since the whole thing began. I've nurtured every sensation man's been inspired to have. I cared about what he wanted and I never judged him. Why? Because I never rejected him, in spite of all his imperfections. I'm a fan of man. I'm a humanist. Maybe the last humanist.

that top my list of best movie.

Well technically jesus isn't a man. and he wasn't created by god, he was always there. So i dont know if son is the best word for it. but thats the christian's story and they're stickin to it

He was a man, plain and simply. Stories were written to make him more than a man. And to this day, the stories still have people going.

Maybe Christinanity is just a really big and successful cult.

Exactly

Speaking of cults, would anyone like to join mine? There are free drinks and an occasional potluck. The only catch is that you have to worship me.

How much does it cost? Are there hot chicks? Pics? Do we have to drink KoolAid? Do we get to hang out and bother people at airports?

Heh I'm agnostic but coincidentally I had a similar dream the other night. Actually I'd call it a nightmare. It was the worst I've had yet.

Basically satan came in the form of ultra conservative preachers who told me I hadn't repented for the evil I've done and I was suppose to go with them. In the dream the preachers were very tall and lanky, like 7-8 feet tall. Dressed in all black and they moved mechanically (like that girl in The Ring). One of them had a face reminiscent of that old guy ("LET ME IN") from Poltergeist II. The other looked like John Shooter from the Secret Window. They were speaking to me across boundaries and telling me to cross (once was them outside a window, the other was across water trying to convince me to come and repent). Anyhow that scared the crap out of me :p

Yes, and Mary Magdelene's greatest trick was Jesus. :p

I got a chill when you said that, lol. I saw that movie when I was still mimicking the quadrapedalism of our antecedents, but it haunts me.

Of all the horror movies I've seen that guy creeps me out. It doesn't matter if I watch it at night or day. If I watch it during the summer afternoon its just as creepy :p

And yet they're happy, while you're miserable. Who loses?
