Have I mentioned how awesome it is that Cosmetor is banned from here? Because it is.

I like how the argument is that you shouldn't have the article because all things generally have some level of retarded fan. It clearly isn't a trope if it is that wide spread right?

HOW DARE YOU INSULT PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING IRRATIONAL AND RETARDED BY SAYING PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE CAPABLE OF ACTING IRRATIONAL AND RETARDED SOMETIMES!

Seriously, maybe we should start a Cosmeteor hug box drive.

I rented this movie thinking it would become a new favorite. I mean it has a great title, great plot, and even a great DVD menu. Then I started the movie. Man what a gigantic let down! After twenty minutes I was squirming in my seat hoping it would be over soon. What were they thinking?!? The story made no sense, the acting was beyond bad (even if they were going for cheesy) and worst of all they made Jesus not look like Jesus! One of the best things the movie had going for it was the novelty of getting to see Jesus kicking ass but for some reason they decided to completely change his look ten minutes into the movie. What the hell?!?

I'm sorry, I know a lot of you really like this movie but I think they just wasted a lot of potential. It could of been great but instead it is unwatchable. 1/10

Fair enough, someone doesn't like a movie.

6th post in.

There are no true atheists, just levels of agnostics. The level of arrogance it would take for an insignificant human (in the scheme of the universe) to claim to *know* there is no possibility of a god would be so massive as to boggle the mind. No sophisticated, intelligent person would ever be so supercilious to assert that a finite being can know things outside their realm of existence, or that the infinite is impossible. The philosophical reality is that no one can know *for sure* that there is no God. It is a logical (and empirical) impossibility. Therefore, there can be no true atheist, only those who ironically *believe* in their non-belief, ergo a system of faith in the unknown, which is nothing other than a religion of the "rational". Even Bertrand Russell admitted this truism, and late in life questioned the usefulness of such a “belief”. Anyway, no disrespect meant, and any self-respecting rationalist will understand that.

I have to agree with the other poster, the inherent humor of this film is the *iconic* image of Jesus, the comedy is rooted in the absurdity of the traditional Jesus getting buck-wild on bloodsuckers. Eliminating those elements that stereo-typically define Jesus as such is actually negating the very root of the humor. In other words, not just dumb, but *perfectly* dumb or perfectly wrong... a very unfunny oxymoron.

Not to stir up shit (because fuck if we haven't had the argument before, and fuck if it got anyone anywhere), but I mean, it's not like I haven't heard similar nonsense spouted by some individuals from a group whose opinions I otherwise generally respect. Not to the degree that douchebag takes it, of course, but the point is, I remain unshocked.

It isn't really the content of the post I am knocking, it is the fact that a movie about a shitty (awesome) B-Movie turns into BURN THE ATHEISTS in 6 fucking posts.

Even ignoring the fact that the argument is in the wrong place, no it's pretty stupid anyway. People will believe anything; why couldn't they believe "there is no god"? In the grand scheme of absurdity, it's far from the most absurd thing a person has ever believed.

Uh, is this a direct response to my quote or a quote-for-truth sort of deal? If the former, I don't understand your objection since it seems like we're 100% on the same page here. If it's the latter, I'll blame lack of sleep for misunderstanding.

And now, a rare case of videogame fanboy stupidity found through Neogaf forums but not actually on it.

http://forums.n4g.com/Cross-game-chat-and-why-its-currently-MIA-m700070.aspx

Someone makes a rumor post that EA is preventing the implementation of cross-game voice chat and previously did so for custom soundtracks. There might be some idiots in that thread, I don't know since I haven't looked given the huge-ass size. What I *do* know is that the EA forums are in full meltdown mode:

Today's IotD is me, for not realizing I had my computer's case fans installed blowing in the wrong directions for four years. (I had the back top one intaking and the front bottom exhausting.)

Why, something like that going on for so long might even lead to motherboard failures. Like the one I had in April.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/08/31/missing.girl.officers/index.html A cold case is cracked out of the blue. Guy kidnaps a girl, fathers two girls by her and keeps her locked up in a shed for nearly 20 years. His response at being caught (Note: registered sex offender/rapist):

Quote

In a jailhouse interview Thursday with CNN affiliate KCRA, Garrido would not discuss the abduction, but said he had "completely turned" his life around in the past several years.

"You're going to find the most powerful story coming from the witness, from the victim," he promised. "If you take this a step at a time, you're going to fall over backward, and in the end you're going to find the most powerful, heartwarming story."

While prison violence should be generally unacceptable, this asshole deserves the literal skullfucking he is about to get.
