Yes I know its an old movie... But I watched it last night again and have to say it one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
Especially love the part where the two angels, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are in an office building at some random meeting.
Best part from this scene:
*Ben Affleck leans in and whispers into the Boss' ear.*
Matt Damon: "He's your son you sick Feth!'

When I read the thread title I thought “what movie, and why are they after dogma’s opinion?”
Meanwhile, it was a decent movie with some funny moments. Let down by some fairly unnecessary shifts in tone, though, and was the poo monster really necessary?
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
Adam Smith, who must have been some kind of leftie or something.

Yes, yes it was. The whole movie led up to that point... Knocks strong odors out!

When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss
I didn't get an angry vibe from the Golgothan, more like resigned to the wickedness of men, and the futility of fighting that in a universe dictated by a creator who insisted on exalting men above all his other creations.

I think so. How about you can allways laugh at yourself. Or it's better to have an IDEA than a blind belief.
Think the film is top though, Buddy Christ and the Bishop who blesses his golf clubs for a better game! Silent Bob as a wepon of God! God taking Sabaticals (loved that idea and it kind of explains the dark ages)
He's not the messiah he's a very naughty boy. Now go AWAY!
