I wish God would shut the Fuck up

[packman]

I am so tired of Him telling all these right wing loonies to run for office, do this, or do that. Now, the Lord of Creation, tired and with a few minutes to spare between creating universes and seeing to the songs of birds, tells Ben Carson how to set up a tax system.

1. Ever see the movie "The Ruling Class"?

Peter O'Toole plays this British lord and heir to a vast fortune who believes he is god. Someone asks him, "How did you decide you were God?" and O'Toole (the character is named Jack) says, "I found that whenever I said a prayer to God, I was actually talking to myself."

That and "Dogma" are among my favorite religious movies.

7. great movies you' be mentioned. I'd add Saved to your list. n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

9. Yeah, That's a weird one.

Abso-lutely. Been a while since I saw it last.

[thucythucy]

10. Weird is one word for it.

Bizarre, surreal also come to mind, especially when the characters break into song. Hilarious too, and scary, especially when --spoiler alert!-- Jack has his personality change in the middle of the flick. I love it. Actually, I love pretty much anything O'Toole does.

12. I laughed my ass off

when O'Toole played an out of control Errol Flynn type actor that an uptight young eager beaver TV producer had to keep sober and sane for a few days. Movie title escapes me.

13. My Favorite Year, maybe?

2. Don't blame God.....

If the loonies hear voices..

[hrmjustin]

4. Well said!

3. Gawd's just a Prop to these foul f/ckers!

5. I thought hearing voices was a sign of mental illness ?

And not a qualification showing fitness for public office

[GeorgeGist]

6. Seems likely that God is a product of mental illness.

16. If I attributed the same to the Easter Bunny, I'd be in a rubber room

But to say that an accepted deity is behind your behavior and belief makes it all better... Yeah that's sane.

8. I'm just the opposite.

I wish he would finally speak up and tell those sick greedy assholes what he *really* thinks.

11. When you invent an entity no one else can see or hear

You can make em say anything you want to I suppose. God is like the ultimate sock puppet.

[longship]

14. God as ventriloquist dummy.

He says anything you want him to.

Like the dummy on the lap, he's not really real.

15. Ben 'Cray-Cray' Carson strikes again!
