: The being truly sorry is a big point. I don't think those two were truly sorry. Loki was when he got drunk,but Bartelby wasn't.
While I agree that Ben ended the flick as an asshole, I think Bartelby would have been OK if he hadn't thought that Bethany was sent to kill them. After that, he went over the edge and got pissed that God favored humnas over angels. Despite all of their hurt feelings in the beginning of the flick, I really think (if things had been explained to them and they hadn't found out about Bethany the way they did) that if Bartleby and Loki were given the chance to HONESTLY repent and go to heaven, they'd take the chance in a minute.
Oh yeah, and with the whole "do angels become human after their wings come off" thing...does that mean they grow a dick? Otherwise, how do they get rid of all the alcohol they can finally imbibe??
: I know Kevin said Jesus was black,but he was probably more brown. Like most Middle Eastern people. And would Jesus absolve them? They were naughty douchebags his pap cast down.
The "jesus was black" comment was just my nod to Rock. And I've never heard that Jesus could (or would) turn down someone's request for absolution. He's not a judge. Jesus doesn't hold grudges. If you're truly sorry (even if you pushed him in camel dung and stole his sandals when he was a kid), he still HAS to forgive you.
: No,because they did the 10th plague,which came after sodom and Gamorah. But,they would have been there for awhile. I bet that the Indians would see them as indians.
Thanks for the 10th plague correction, but I don't get the "Indians would see them as Indians" comment. There was never any indication that Bartelby and Loki's appearance had anything to do with the people who were looking at them. (If that was true, they'd probably look black to Rufus.)
