What I think he's saying is that there is no point living by a certain code simply because of the promise of an afterlife. As in, why live a boring life now to earn something that may not even exist? I don't share his beliefs in the least, but I can understand where he's coming from.

I don't live my life according to a "code". I live my life and treat people (ALL people) the way I want to be treated - with kindness and respect.

I know what he's saying, I just said it what I did the wrong way.

I got the whole 'boring life' thing he was getting at, my point was that all you have to do is not be an asshole. If you're living what you truely believe to be a good life then it wont be a boring life.

That's basically what I meant, everybody that has their right mind knows what's good and what's bad, there's no religion needed for that.

Hey, there's a thing out there for everyone. That's why there's so many different kinds of movies, you know. If one type of movie satisfied everyone, we'd have a lot less of them.

That said, I have no respect for people who don't watch horror films, because I think they're idiots. But, that's just my opinion.

By the way, "The Exorcist" is a movie I generally go out of my way NOT to see. It's too frightening and too disturbing to me. When they used to play it on cable a lot, I tried watching it and had to turn the sound down because the sound effects and that devil voice bothered me. Just thinking about it now gives me the shivers. No, wait, I left the window open and there's a draft.

Exorcist

Hay Mikeywalsh, how do you get somthing from nothing? You dont man. Cause and effect. Cause, GOD. Effect, all things. In otherwords,nothing=nothing. Dude, if you dont belive in God the father, ok, if you look down on those that do, ok. But, that does not change the reality and, the best part is, that sooner or later, we will all find out for sure.

If you watch the Exorcist, you have to view it more as a "psychological" horror film. I see your point...I am 21 and I enjoy gory horror films...but I think you have to look at the film in context.

It isn't trying to gross you out like, say, "Hostel." What it is trying to do is go to your head.

I like the occult thread running throughout the piece, even if it IS supposed to be Catholic Christianity. I don't think that Puzuzu should have been the demon that Blaty (sp?) used, because the notion of "demon" in Mesopatamian sense and "demon" in the Judeo/Christian sense are very different.


I also wanted to say to Mikey , "Horror.comisnottheplacetodiscussreligionpleasesto p

I'm a Witch, but being a Witch doesn't necessarily dictate religion, and if you have such a problem with God... Well lucky for me I worship The Goddess.:D
