Yeh, but.... The Transformers are like a gift from God. Because if God created man... and man created the Transformers... Then it's like.... God created the Transformers.

Thats a good line and we should enstate it as a law in our nations as it pertains to parents. If you create a child and that child creates something wonderful, its like you did it...but if they go on a mass shooting spree at an elementary school, its like you did it. <nods>

Oh my god, im so sick of this talk about god. For gods sake I wish to god people would shut up about god, god damn it.

Sorry, no animals in the discussion hall. You have to dismount your high horse to participate.

This reminded of a woman going on about how god created the trees that mske rubber and the scientists who invented the diaphragm, so god invented the diaphragm and women could use it to control the size of their families and still be good Christians. She gave me dirty look when I said "so god invented chemicals and surgical tools and doctors, so god invented abortion which a woman can use to control the size of her family and still be good Christians."


Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

reply

Did she try to kill you with one look? LOL

reply

Well, man created the gods, and man created transformers, so alan rickman is a transformer.

We're not bad people, Mac. We're just underachievers who have to make up for lost time.

reply

Kevin Smith did not name The Metatron. Dudes writing the Bible did...or god or whatever.

Even the most primitive society has an innate respect for the insane.

reply

He could have decided to call him Karl, but he let it The Metatron... So Kevin Smith named him.

The Metatron is not in the bible.

I'm not trying to start anything but let me just point out while the Metatron is not in the bible per se I do believe he is in the Apacgrapha which are the books that are not included in the bible and they include things like Lilith who is supposed to be Adam's first wife. But if you're looking for biblical accuracy in Dogma then it seems like you're missing the fact that it was made strictly to be entertaining.
