From the movie '
Man from Earth' one of the best movies I saw:
Code:
A:
do you believe literally
everything in the bible, edith?
B:
Yes!
A:Before you say it, I know it's undergone a lot of changes,
B:But god has spoken through man .... To make his word clearer.
C:He couldn't get it right the first time?
B:We're imperfect! He had to work to make us understand.
C:(sarcastic) He couldn't get us right the first time, edith?
D: taken alone, the philosophical teachings of jesus are
buddhism with a hebrew accent- kindness, tolerance,
brotherhood, love,A ruthless realism acknowledging
That life is as it is here on earth, here and now.
The kingdom of god, meaning goodness,
Is right here, where it should be.
"I am what i am becoming. "
That's what the buddha brought in.
And that's what i taught.
But a talking snake
make a lady eat an apple,
So we're screwed.
(pause)
Heaven and hell were peddled So priests could rule
through seduction and terror,
Save our souls that we never lost in the first place.
....
D:
I see ceremony, ritual, processions, Genuflecting,
moaning, intoning, Venerating cookies and wine,
And i think...
It's not what i had in mind.
B:
But that's vatican flapdoodle.
It doesn't have a thing to do with god.
A:
As you said, john, everywhere, religions...
From exalting life to
purging joy as a sin.
Rome does it as grand opera.
(sarcastic) A simple path to goodness needs
A supernatural roadmap.
C:
Supernatural...
A stupid word, i mean...
Anything that happens,happens within nature,
Whether we believe in it or not.
