It's really weird, man.

It's maybe my favorite movie. I mean when you walk out of a theater thinking "I think that movie just made me believe in God again" you know it's something special.

His Catholicism isn't likely to win the right over, considering the Catholic vote always leans Democrat.

You seem both very interested in Christianity and very cynical about it, which is interesting.

That's a fair response. I think there's so many questions to ask about that stuff, and of course all of that depends on how much stock you put into Jesus' divinity and the existence of God. Assuming Jesus was divine or even just preaching a higher wisdom, there are so many questions about what he intended: How close

Brilliant post, and I completely agree with your view of spirituality. I am a graduate student in science who is fascinated with religion, and the more I experience both, the more I drown out the arrogant stone-aged fanatics and smug science-worshiping neckbeards. And the more I do that, I feel like both are chucking

The weird part is the New Testament supports basically none of the modern portrayals of idealized, white-clouds "heaven". It seems more of a deeply spiritual concept involving destruction of any current concepts of time.

Even more of a miracle: nobody has made a reddit-tier ALL BELIEVERS ARE MORONS COMMENT like the last one. It's like both sides have google alerts anytime a comment section regarding religion comes up.

Really disappointing there isn't more of it. The Coens do a really good job.

The Bible doesn't really "present itself" as anything. It's a collection of writings with huge differences in how much is supposed to be taken literally, how much we know about who wrote it and why, how much is historical, what meanings we are supposed to obtain from it, etc.

Please tell me this is a Hollywood Handbook reference

As a die hard Ye fan, some reason the Beck thing was the only thing hes done that really bugged me outside of the whole general Kardashian weirdness and the Kimmel fiasco.

This album is absolutely fantastic and just tons of fun ("They got a NEW bitch now you Jennifer Aniston…"). I know he's more divisive nowadays, which is dumb because we're one album separated from the one everyone loved, but I think his transition from rapping about universal themes of black America to becoming an

Groupies say I'm too choosy
Take em to the show and talk all through the movies
Says she want diamonds, I took her to Ruby Tuesdays
If we up in Fridays, I still have it my way

He's annoying but to be fair I think a lot of the people he interviews (ie. comedians) don't really have interesting things to say about what he wants to talk about in the first place (relationships, spirituality, ex.)

Yeah but how can you can explain the fact that all the young white people on the website said religion people is dumb??

What kind of "wrap up" ending could have worked for someone searching for a sense of identity? "Oh Im a family man now" he already had that.

I thought her and Joans endings were brilliant because they found joy in the opposite of what they thought they needed. Peggy felt she needed to be the ambitious careerist woman to be satisfied, and Joan was just looking for Mr. Right. Turns out it was the other way around.

Betty keeping up appearances after her diagnosis was the most beautiful and painful thing I've seen on this show. It hurt.
