: To all that want to listen or read:
Listen? Is this post in Dolby? Bullshit in 5.1~!
: My name is Michael Grifin::
And you are an Alcoholic?
and I am, by profession, a christian entertainer:
I was close. You stay in Christian entertaining, the booze will come.
While shopping at my local K-Mart, much to my
: delight, I came across 'Dogma' on DVD.::
You shop in a K-Mart? Who'd have thunk it?
: I had heard all kinds of this and that about this movie, and
: having viewed the trailer online, I was very eager to purchase
: and watch this film that I heard was so controversial that the
: Roman Catholic church was up in arms and death threats were
: being issued.::
Well,if you had fully grasped this ability you call "reading",you'd "read" that the Catholic Church said nothing about Dogma and it was a bunch of reactionaries,the main asshole claims to be a Catholic himself, who went after Mr.Smith. The CChurch did'nt give a shit. Its a movie. The Catholic LEAGUE,however,had nothing to do last summer and went nutty.
: And after watching this film, I have only this to say:
: KEVIN SMITH IS A F***ING GENIUS!!!::
IQ tests be damned, we now have the intelligence barometer, Christian Rockers.
: Never in the 36 years that I've walked GOD's earth, have I
: spent so much time hitting the rewind button while watching
: a movie. This movie made me think and look at the GOD I
: worship in a way I had yet to.::
Then Mr.Smith has scored another goal, and this one is impressive,because I don't think this was a large goal he was shooting into.
: If the Catholic community got upset, I know why: THE TRUTH HURTS.:
So do the slings and arrows of the stupid. No,wait,they don't. Yea baby.
: There seems to be no joy in the Catholic church, and church is
: meant to be a celebration of GOD's love...not some overblown
: parade of tradition, pomp and circumstance.::
How would you know? Are you Catholic? Were you Catholic? I'm thinking a big "No" on all questions. So shutthefuckup.
: The message I got from this film, is that GOD is powerful and
: that HIS(or HER)love is gracious and merciful.::
Yea,them Catholics missed the boat when they said Jesus was akin to a Hell's Angel and humanity was Hunter Thompson after a mescaline binge.
: And what is wrong with that?::
Seminiferous vesicles.
: ....but for some strange reason, since I've watched this film...
: I can't seem to stop saying f***....oh well. ::
Well,be happy,your vocabulary was expanded. Now there are 500 words to express yourself.
: I will pray for you Kevin Smith.::
Pray for Brian Piccolo. I loved Brian Piccolo. And I hope God does,too.
: I will pray that the GOD that blessed you with the talent
: you possess will continue to bless and prosper you.::
Prosper him? That has to hurt,if no lubrication is used.
: God bless you Kevin.
:
: yours in Christ Jesus,
: Michael Griffin

Christ Jesus? Thats like saying Daley Mayor or Buster B.
