Response to comment [from an
atheist]: "And you have a problem with this, do you?"
I am more
opposed to Russell Crowe in tights.
Response to
comment [from a Christian]: "...On the other bit, a needlessly silly thing for
the director to say..."
It's his
belief.
"Seems so, though again, he was
speaking more generally about flood myth and applying it to the Biblical
narrative. I doubt the intent of that remark was to alienate or insult
Christians."
[Worldwide Flood Worldwide
Evidence] "When the Bible refers to a worldwide Flood in
Genesis 7–8, that’s exactly what it means. Not local,
not metaphorical, not some crazy dream—the waters
covered the whole earth. Don’t just take our word for
it, though. Take a look at the evidence right beneath
your feet...." Full text:
Worldwide Flood Worldwide Evidence"What does that
have to do with my noting the director referenced cross
cultural flood myth and the likely lack of intent to
alienate a great potential share of his audience?"
Nothing.
"There are hundreds of stories and legends about a
worldwide flood. Why do diverse cultures share a
strikingly similar story?
Did you know that stories about a worldwide flood are
found in historic records all over the world? According
to Dr. Duane Gish in his popular book Dinosaurs by
Design, there are more than 270 such stories, most of
which share a common theme and similar characters..."

Response to comment [from a
Christian]: "Ah, the righteousness junkie strikes again. Every thread must be
turned to focus on the 'sins' of others, so as to inflate that ever-sagging
sense of his own phony self-righteousness..."
You're projecting again (Isa
65:5;
Lk 18:11,
Eccl 10:2).
You are righteous because you refuse to torture terrorists.
Eccl 3:8. You are
righteous when take from a worker to give to a non-worker.
Ex 20:15,
2 Thess 3:10. You are
righteous when you fight for a women's "right" to murder her child.
Eze 18:20.
Response to comment [from a
Christian]: "...Crowe is a good actor, I've enjoyed him in several movies (3:10
to Yuma, American Gangster, etc.)..."
"Even bad men
love their mommas."
~ Ben Wade, 3:10 to Yuma
"Thanks for taking time away from
giving kudos to your good friend Billy Bob to do a movie review sd."
How stupid was he?
Didn't Crowe call the front desk and tell the guy, "I'm going to come down there
and *^#@*!*..." Does he think he's in a movie?
"Just out of curiosity, are you having the same problem with this movie as you
did with Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ", that being Biblical figures
shouldn't be re-enacted? Or was that just with Jesus Himself?"
Making an image of Jesus is wrong (Ex
20:2,3;
Deut 5:7). Is it wrong to reenact historical events? I don't think so.
Hollyweird is godless
and they won't get it right
but can you image these stories being told well? The Bible's got it all
--mystery,
adventure,
romance
--but
they're too busy doing
Batman XII.
"When Fergie and company strikes you
as an intellectually suitable stand-in or your thoughts then you might want to
pocket that loser smiley."
The boys says
she's Fergalicious.
"They also think pro wrestling and
NASCAR are sports..."
Oh no.
You'd hate me.
Ruth 2:3
"Nah, or if I ever did it wouldn't be
over something superficial...or are you saying you write that sort of lyric?"
I play
music for our local hockey games so I download the
clean versions.
"Fergie looks like/reminds me of Ava
Gardner..."
Hmm.
"...if you watch old movies."
Of course. I
love old movies.
Response to comment [from a
Christian]: "The Hindustan Times?"
The Hindustan
Times were the only ones who provided the quote. Hey, they don't use the term
"white Hispanic" like the New York Times.
