    God does talk.  He would say exactly what Jesus said - turn from your wicked ways and follow Me.

    Why do you ascribe the male gender?

    Because that's proper english. (God has no gender).

    Then why use male nouns and pronouns to describe God? Why not just refer to God as God? "God would say exactly what..." etc.

    Why call a ship "she"?  Why not just refer to it as ship?  "My ship handles just fine."

    Indeed. An excellent point.

    God doesn't have a penis or a vagina.  Maybe that is why you are deaf to God.

    He is talking loudly today.  If you can't hear the Father, you aren't listening.

    Everything is the way it is because that is the way it should be.

    Why do you assume God is male or even exists in human, gender-specific form?

    "SHE" would know when to speak when spoken to

  • If she were on her period, probably nothing that makes sense.

    Women were cursed by God for tempting man and doomed to hemorrhage like a horse for 7 days each month



     
    According to the Gospel of Archie (Season 6:5) 

    Archie proclaimed, "He said that in the Garden of Eden, when he told Eve not to eat the apple, but she ate it anyhow, and the snake was there and he rattled on her. And then God ever after punished women by givin' em your, what you call, your labor pains."  Meathead asked, "First God tells women to be fruitful and multiply, then when they do, he makes 'em suffer? That doesn't make any sense."  To which Archie responded, "It ain't supposed to make sense. It's faith, faith, don't you know that? Faith is somethin' that you believe, that nobody in his right mind would believe in. It's in the Bible! God said IN PAIN SHALL YOUS GIVE BIRTH!"

    (My favorite Archie Bunker line --  "Like the Good Book says, ' Patience is a virgin.' ")

    :)



    While I'm at it, "Carrie" -- the original with Sissy Spacek there and Piper Laurie -- to me, it's one of the best Stephen King horror movies made directly from one  of his horror novels. Many of them I've ended up disappointed.

    I kind of agree with you Welby, but my heart lies within the original David Chroneberg adaption of the "Dead Zone" with Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, and Michael Moriarty. 

    That movie freaked me TFO! I LOVED IT!

    Everything about it was pitch-perfect and horrifying. The acting was superb and Sheen as the sleazy politician getting his comeuppance was brilliant.   Dude, when he held the kid up in front of him to shield himself from Walken taking at shot of him and Walken's vision of Sheen's future afterward was the best revenge ever.


    I have a sincere admiration for anything Cronenberg sticks his fingers in. I think he's brilliant. Who in the hell but Cronenberg could ever bring William Burroughs novel, "The Naked lunch" to screen? Who the hell would have ever thunk it? Who would have had the balls to try? lol
    He's a mad, mad genius

     I've seen that movie, "The Dead Zone." I guess I wasn't thinking of it as na all-out horror movie. I liked it, too.

    I haven't read "Naked Lunch" -- I started once and never finished, I think I only read the first page or so.

    I saw at least one Cronenberg-directed - - wait, did he do "Dead Zone"? I assume so based on your comment. I've seen at least  one other movie he directed and it, too, freaked me out. Can't remember the title.

    I'm letting some things get to me today, darn.
    :(
    I hang in there and go one, though.

    Good to see you, too.
    ;)

    Yes...he did the Dead Zone
    Was it "Scanners"? Classic SciFi Horror or better still...
    "Videodrome" with James Woods and Deborah Harry? OMG!!! I LOVE THAT FILM!

    I think it was "Videodrome"!
    :)

    I don't even remember details - - just remember it freaked me out.

    TBH, Videodrome was by-far the superior film. 
    The film is a metaphor about how we are being brainwashed by advertising and consumerism and a tale about a TV station executive seeking new content when he discovers a mysterious signal broadcasting hurtporn and snuff.  
    This movie was dark and brillian

    yup -- that seems sort of familiar - - but every once in a while a movie will make me want to sort of forget it - - even though I remember really liking and respecting it. That one might be one of them.

    Quasi-Haneke's original "Funny Games" - I'm thinking "Videodrome" is along the same realm --I liked it a lot but don't really want to see it again or remember details). Yet, "Funny Games" simply and completely annihilated me

    What makes any person male or female think one exists at all....People need to watch the Monty Python film " The Life of Brian" and follow the Sandal.      :)
