: I know that when anyone in VA writes about or refers to Metatron that they call him Metatron but I was watching Dogma today for the upteenth time since I bought the DVD and I noticed that when Allan Rickman, Metatron in Dogma, says his name in the film he says Lametatron (I think). Could anyone clarify this for me?
I just read your post from earlier and I too had a hard time believing in Jesus/God because of all the horrible things that happen in the world. I just wanted to say that I still don't read the Bible regulerly, I don't go to church regularly, and I sure don't preach to anyone, but I do believe in God and Jesus now. When I was 19, I moved to Seattle to go to school. I got mixed up in alot of stuff that I would not say was that great for anyone. Anyway, I found out I was pregnant while I was there. I went cold turkey off everything as soo as I found out and I was so scared that my baby would have problems. He's 8 and healthy and for me, that really was'nt enough for me to see God so I believe that He sent me my, now, husband, who is pretty religious. He was raised on The Book and he never preached to me or anything. He did'nt even mind that I did'nt believe. I started listening to things he had to say and occasionally we went to church. It was about our fourth visit to church that I walked in and felt such a big something wrap around me and it felt like love all around and in me. I can't go to church without crying because of the message I'm getting while there. I believe that God saw me in trouble and showed me the way out. Now, I try to live the way I think He wants me to. Although I have doubts, worries, and sometimes I am extremely unhappy with my marriage, I ask for His help and He comes through. My point is, if you continue your search and He thinks you need to acknowledge Him, He will show Himself. I think that you have to have a very open mind though and when you do see that He is there, thank him for everything. I can't express how much love and thanks I give to him just for giving me my kids and for keeping them healthy. Like I said, I don't believe in preaching, I'm a fuck up just like alot of people, I still have the occasional blunt, but I believe that God is watching all of us, and I do believe that He takes care of things, good and bad, as He sees fit. The biggest test of your belief is that you trust Him and His actions.
