What's on your mind? (102)

Hi Gracieeee
Hope you're doing well.

I am!

I warn you that I'm terrible about responding to VMs because I usually post using the CF app and it doesn't show VMs. I check them on a computer once or twice a week.... Lol. So if I'm not responding, that's why

I am watching a movie right now where Malcolm McDowell plays Satan and a depressed law student actually sues him for all of the misery he has caused in the world, for eight trillion dollars.


... I find this movie ... HILARIOUS.

^ What's the title?
I think I watched that before.

I remember some bad effects and poor production.
I gave up watching halfway.

 

[SarahsKnight]

Suing Satan, Miss Vanilla.

I don't know. Perhaps I was so fascinated by the hysterically, insanely comedic concept of all this, yet with its little nuggets of wisdom and realism hidden throughout, that I have yet to notice the poor production.

Interestingly, there was this one scene just now when the student confronted Satan as a witness and started asking him who Jesus Christ was. Satan's weak spot, apparently, as he refused to answer "God", but instead tried to intimidate him in silence with the apparition of demons. Now then, all of these demons flitting about seemed to be masculine in appearance, but then the student defied him mentally and angels began gathering around him in white. They were all beautiful women. ..... A hint of sexism here, perhaps?

Sadly it's based on a true story..

 

[SarahsKnight]

You mean someone tried actually suing Satan?

 

[MehGuy]

Yeah.

 

[SarahsKnight]

You know, I'm actually not sure. Where this movie came from. Is it supposed to be Christian-themed? Or was it just meant to be some wacky comedy that might at the same time cause people to think and reflect on religion, maybe subtly hoping to expose it as ridiculous? Christian agenda? Atheist agenda? Totally innocent with no hidden agenda?

 

[SnowyMacie]

I have no idea what I am going to give up for lent.

 

[MehGuy]

Give up water.

 

[SarahsKnight]

Ohhhh. Yeah, maybe not such a good idea, Matt. You need water to live.

... Give up movies that teach ridiculous concepts in the name of religion, like this one. Ohhhh did it ever take a downturn.


Has anybody EVER actually sold out Jesus Christ for a candy bar? And were car alarms and leaf blowers really invented by the power of hell? I would say it was a stupid joke at first. And I can appreciate that. But now, I think they're actually really serious, and selling this as such.

(As a fellow annihilationist, Matt, you probably wouldn't appreciate it any better than me right now. Oh the boogeyman stories they're telling at this very moment.)

Leo isn't coming back because she got married.

Always knew it was bound to happen..

 

[SarahsKnight]

Really? So Leo met a guy and got married in just one week?

 

[vanillaicecream]

Trying to lure her into posting here again, mehguy?

 

[MehGuy]

Trying to lure her into posting here again, mehguy?

Maybe.. lol.

 

[SarahsKnight]

Well, I am sure most of us miss her, don't we? Why not, Vanilla?

 

[vanillaicecream]

We haven't really interacted, but her posts are good.
I noticed her thread in Mature Singles though. Maybe she'll be back.

 

[vanillaicecream]

Oops, nope. Not mature singles but a question to married couples. I think.

 

[MassiCo]

Came across one of her posts, I believe the one mentioned by Vanilla, and felt bad. She sounds like a sweet, smart woman who hasn't had any luck in the dating field...

It's Ash Wednesday! I forgot.
The Lenten Season has finally begun.
Better choose a mass schedule then.
