omfsm. the open shirt, flapping in the heavenly wind. i may die.
Forget the fact that this is obviously nonsense. Don’t Christians question the morality of this? Don’t they have enough of a moral compass to understand that perpetually burning a person for watching a football game might be a dick move on God’s part?
Wow, Everything really is Terrible. Well, now I know.

This is why I’m too afraid to try LSD.
@Nick Farrantello: Christian’s don’t question the morality of it any more than I question the morality of a bee that stings me. God is not a moral actor. The supernatural God is, perversely, part of the natural universe as they see it. It is only humans that are morally judged. Also, let’s not “forget the fact that it is obviously nonsense”. Part of the crazy that hits one in the face is the total lack of empathy with people who use heroine, watch football, or are dying. Not empathizing with Christians wouldn’t improve my experience, it would worsen it.
Oh. My! [/TakeiVoice]
Ah, yes, Christiano Film Group. Unidentified is probably the most relevant here, as it takes on skepticism and UFOs.
The films of the radical Evangelicals are wonderful insights into some very strange worldviews.
And here I was, picturing something like The Great Escape… IN HELL!
Goddammit, Hollywood, get your collective thumbs out of James Cameron’s ass and make this happen.
Always reminds me of the Douglas Adams quote:
If he doesn’t get you watching football then it will be something else
Do ya see the mountain in the distance, in heaven? (around 1 min) It’s proof! Even the christians acknowledge it!! That’s a beer volcano, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the supreme being!!! And you can’t prove He isn’t, so you know I’m right…
Is he trapt in the time vortex without a TARDIS, because that isn’t safe.
So leaving Jersey? Take me with you! Nah, kidding…I just signed a 2 year lease.
@Joshua: Quite possibly the finest movie pitch I’ve ever heard. Since I can’t nominate Douglas Adams, (from the comment belowe you), I’m going to put you forward for CotW.
My friend gave this movie away as part of the Boston SitP Yankee Swap last December.
