I put what movie the quotes are from. It's a story where life is like it is now but humanity never came up with the concept of lieing. Then the main character of the movie invented for the first time in the history of humanity saying something that was "Not".
He lied. He invented lieing. But there's no word for lie.
Then his old mother is dying and she tells him that she is scared. So he uses his new invention in the hospital to tell her not be scared. That she's going to a wonderful place when she dies and everything she ever loved will be there. No pain, the most wonderful thing imaginable.
The doctors and nurses overhear him say this and everyone asks him how he knows all this. So he starts lieing and invents the lie of god and heaven and all this made up stuff. And everyone believes him because no one has ever known how to lie. He's the first one. He invented it.
So a crowd gathers around his house and he makes up the lie of a god, and the god is responsible for everything.
So the crowd starts asking him about the good things they've experienced in life and ask him if the "man in the sky" caused that to happen. He says yes.
But then they start asking him about all the really bad things that happened to them in life and ask him if the "man in the sky" caused people to get cancer, or die in car wrecks, or whatever. He reluctantly says yes.
So they say, "Fuck the man in the sky!"
Hilarious movie. Check it out.
