Problem is the show's an Amazon production. D'oh!
As a species, we are fucked. To the next generation, I offer my inadequate apologies.

Oh yes, the horror of not taking a completely black and white view of something. God is good, even though he does horrible things, and Satan is evil, even though the only evil things he does is with God's permission. No reason to question or explore that dynamic. It just is.
I will say that it's odd when, in the age of gender identity, they would refer to God as a gender he doesn't identify as. He has always identified as male, whether he actually has male parts or not, but this show depicts him as a woman. Even when we all know gender identity is not linked to sex. #genderidentity

Well, in the words of that one philosophical guy:
"Stupid is as stupid does." 
I don't have Amazon, so I haven't seen this. Cracking good book, though.
I wonder if Christian fanatics will ever get the point that this sort of thing just doesn't work anymore (even if you send your petitions to the right place). Boru

Fanatics are about as likely to get the point as the Montreal Expos are in winning the Stanley Cup.

Sounds like the christians already watched it, fuckin hypocrites, takin all the fun away and hoarding it.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem
Re-reading the book now.
Looking forward to seeing this show. They should all get together at Krakatoa and pray for god to stop the show. I bet it works...
Dying to live, living to die.
Simple, if you don't like the book or program, then don't read or watch it.
What's the problem?

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it! |
