Charade
Minggu, Maret 28th, 2010|
IMDB rating: 8.00 Plot: Regina Lambert returns to Paris from a ski holiday in Switzerland to find that her husband has been murdered. She is later told by CIA agent Hamilton Bartholemew that Charles Lambert was one of five men who stole $250,000 in gold from the U.S. government during World War II, and the government wants it back. The money was not found among his possessions, and Regina can shed no light on its whereabouts. Later that day she is visited by Peter Joshua, whom she had met briefly while on holiday. When her husband’s former partners in crime, who were double-crossed by Charles, start calling her looking for the money, Peter offers to help find it. Thus begins an elaborate charade in which nothing is what it seems to be. |

Why in the world do people love the Christian God?
I would like to ask any of you Christians that are still hanging around here a question. Why in the world do you love the Christian God? This puzzles me. Do you think it is because of conditioning and brainwashing? Do you think it is because of fear, the lake of fire looms in the distance and you don’t want to go there, so you think you better pretend to love this God? Do you think it is because everyone else seems to be a Christian and you don’t have the courage to think for yourself or you don’t have the courage to be an outcast? Do you think it is because you feel that if you say you believe in this God you will get that free ticket to heaven? Or do you only believe because you really don’t take the time to read the Bible or study the word so you just accept what some pastor or some televangelist tells you? In other words, you go to church and forget all about the charade until next Sunday. As far as I can see, it really has to be one or more of these reasons, unless any of you can think of any others.
I just feel it is impossible to love a character in a book. J.D. Salinger just died but do any of you go around saying you love Holden Caulfield, the main character in the book The Catcher in the Rye? You can’t reasonably love a character in a book. You can appreciate them and like them but the Christians go way beyond that. They adore, idolize, sing praise songs, tithe, obsess over and act like stalkers with this particular character. That is just not normal. You only know God/Jesus from a book, they are characters in a story book. So, again, why do you love these characters, who really aren’t that lovable, by the way? I, of course, expect to get no answers from the Christians but I thought I’d just post this anyway. Thanks
It is far easier for people to love a fantasy than it is to love anyone real.
No person could possibly love the God depicted in the Bible/Koran! The cruelty, murder and inhumane actions of the proclaimed deity is something even a madman such as Hitler would have been ashamed of.

‘And don’t tell me God works in mysterious ways,’ Yossarian continued, hurtling on over her objection. ‘There’s nothing so mysterious about it. He’s not working at all. He’s playing. Or else He’s forgotten all about us. That’s the kind of God you people talk about - a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless, conceited, uncouth hayseed. Good God, how much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of creation? What in the world was running through that warped, evil, scatological mind of His when He robbed old people of the power to control their bowel movements? Why in the world did He ever create pain?’
‘Pain?’ Lieutenant Scheisskopf’s wife pounced upon the word victoriously. ‘Pain is a useful symptom. Pain is a warning to us of bodily dangers.’
‘And who created the dangers?’ Yossarian demanded. He laughed caustically. ‘Oh, He was really being charitable to us when He gave us pain! Why couldn’t He have used a doorbell instead to notify us, or one of His celestial choirs? Or a system of blue-and-red neon tubes right in the middle of each person’s forehead. Any jukebox manufacturer worth his salt could have done that. Why couldn’t He?’
‘People would certainly look silly walking around with red neon tubes in the middle of their foreheads.’
‘They certainly look beautiful now writhing in agony or stupefied with morphine, don’t they? What a colossal, immoral blunderer! When you consider the opportunity and power He had to really do a job, and then look at the stupid, ugly little mess He made of it instead, His sheer incompetence is almost staggering. It’s obvious He never met a payroll. Why, no self-respecting businessman would hire a bungler like Him as even a shipping clerk!’

People love God because he is real and he created us all.

Of this is a rant about how much of a b*stard he is in the Bible, don’t expect them to listen. Believe me, I’ve tried.
God loves us, and we petty mortal are too mortal and petty to comprehend how its okay for God to show his love by slaughtering in the thousands.
Or something like that, anyway.
