Watching Jesus Die

I just finished watching The Passion of the Christ. I highly recommend this movie for all your Jesus freaks--I mean, Christians. Jews should go watch it too to see how effed up your people were. Muslims, buddhist, devil worshipers, nazis, and whatever else, go watch it too. It's never wrong to learn about other people's religions.

Let me get one thing straight

I talk alot of trash on religion, but it's all in good fun. When it comes down to it, I respect religion. ALL forms of religion. I just sometimes don't respect the smacktards who claim to be believers.

First off, ok, if you believe in a religion, that's great. Don't try to convert me. You don't know what my stand is. I could be in the "You talk to me about your religion and i'll shoot you" religion. See, if I were, i'd be obligated to blow your head off when you tried to convince me that you're right and i'm wrong.

Do not try to justify your point of view by using a reference that is in itself something that cannot be confirmed. Sorry to pick on the christians, but "The Bible Says" is not a valid point, and anything following that will be ignored. A valid answer would be "This is what i choose to believe in, and if you don't like it, that's fine by me." I respect your opinion enough to not say you're wrong. "This is what i was taught by my parents/church/elders" is also a valid answer. I will not disrespect your cultural viewpoints.

Also, blowing yourself up will not convince me that your god is greater then another's. I think you all know which religion i'm talking about there.

The random talking stranger

While watching Jesus die today, before the movie started, my friend mike and I were talking to each other. The atmosphere inside the theatre was intimidating. It was like going to church. People were all serious and nobody wanted to do anything to insult anyone else. I was just trying to have a little fun.

My cellphone rang and as a joke, I yelled "damn it, turn that cellphone off!" when obviously it was my own cellphone. This girl in front of me turned and laughed at my humor, and I shot her back a smile.

Later on, Mike and I were talking some more, something about The Mummy and how the one dude had a charm for every religion. The girl turns around and begins to join in to the conversation. I thought that was pretty cool. She seemed light hearted and fun, which was what I was trying to do. I think she was a little self conscience of the fact that she just jumped into a stranger's conversation, but i tried to speak loud enough to include her. She kind of just quietly turned back around, even though I could tell she was still listening to me speak.

At the end of the movie, she had turned into a completely different person. I don't know if she was moved or insulted by someone in the theatre, but she snapped at her parents when they tried to get her to leave, saying something about not wanting to go that way and that she just wanted to go home.

The moral of the story? See what happens to cute girls when they watch Jesus die?

I knew you'd understand.
