You prefer "accuracy over sensational embellishment"… but you watched Gladiator and Robin Hood?

Maybe his daughters were sluts and he was tired of them hanging around the house all damned day, it's not like he could tell them to get their asses back in school, or to go find a goddamn job or some shit, right?
Fetishizing martyrdom is cool as hell if you're creating a dystopian-as-fuck SciFi-Gothic society that is run by a militant theocracy that considers intolerance a virtue, and in which you are told to Kill the Mutant, Burn the Heretic and Purge the Unclean.
BobbyHead… atheist… you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
The early Christians used the symbol of an "X" to represent themselves, and Christ. The idea that calling it "Xmas" is somehow a "war on Christmas" is bullshit, because that is what early Catholics would have called the Christ's Mass.
Prove to me that you are a professional movie critic.
Dawkins needs to keep his damn mouth shut and just stand there and look smart. Motherfucker can write his books, hold it up, nod up and down, but, damn, that motherfucker is as bad as O'Reilly or Pat Roberts when he opens his mouth.
It's spelled "duel" if it's the sort of thing you kill someone in. It's "dual" if there's two of a thing.
Christ, I remember that when it was a comic book. It was damned terrible then, too.
Yeah, the bit about God stopping evil, yes/no, yadda yadda.
Jesuits are some pretty cool folks for theological scholars and stuff. The only thing I really hold against the old Catholics is that they killed off all the Gnostic cults, and we lost a buncha good shit that would be keen to know.
You're right, he gets facts wrong… and yet had a television show for goddamn years where we are meant to think that he's calling "bullshit" on something, and is presenting facts, when the reality of it it's whatever he thought it should be, or whatever his personal opinion on the subject was. He's a goddamn snakeoil…
Though the original version verse of 5 there, is "Bring them out to us so that we can meet them."
In many cases, one need simply open one's eyes, look around at the world and go, "Yup. If there were such a thing as a loving God, this kind of shit wouldn't happen."
I had a religious experience once… after taking 80 hits of LSD. You know what I did? I took 24 more.
I don't believe that's true, because there are *plenty* of Christians out there who are not Fundamentalist nutjobs.
Mainly because,for the most part, no one knows who the "average Christian" is. It's like… they have their beliefs, whatever, and they go about their lives like pretty much everyone else, and it never comes up, so no one ever knows.
Think we might need to go all the way to "simply preoccupied".
*hissing breath*
A couple times, I think. Though that might have been Britney Spears, now that I think about it.
