it's just that there where like dozens of movies much more related to christianity that didn't shock people that much |
||||||||
|

Yeah, I think humans are animals big. |

animals are humans ratrded>? ow... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we're not, not in the context of barcode, because we have more self conscienseness, or what christianity calls a soul, we want consolation and therefor come up with a God sadist: it's not shocking, but this commercialized christianity is just suckass, like was the patriotism in transformers (haven't seen that either, but it's the idea, the idea that I have seen in other movies) |

i don't know why you guys are talking about a will smith movie. 9 out of 10 movies that come out period are pure testicle drip anyways. its obvious its gonna suck. people don't know how to make movies and actors don't know how to act. |

Well, chimps probably have more self consciousness than chickens too, but they are both animals. |
||||||||
|
|

I'm only disappointed because I was kinda looking forward to it. I had liked Omega Man, and I was hoping this would be a prettier more up to date version of that. But, it ended up sucking so I vent. |

A) What's that got to do with Jesus? B) From a biological perspective, humans are 100% animals. C) Please educate yourself beyond primary school level if you wish to partake in adult discussion |

fwiw, i don't think self-consciousness plays a role at all in my classification of what is an animal and what is not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a) people came up with god, so that is proof in itself that we're different b)yes, but i was talking about the psychological stuff c)jesus, shut up, i respected you didn't i? |
||||||||

a) none of my friends did... :( who is this 'people'? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
people=men different cultures in different times around the world came up with the concept of God |
||||||||

But, we're not the only animal that understands abstract concepts and symbolism. There's that one gorilla that can speak hundreds of words in sign language. |
||||||||

koko :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
how does that prove we're not animals? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heehe, yep. also, that bird that just died that could talk to the lab workers. he was using words as symbols to convey meaning... at least, it seemed like he was. he was almost certainly conscious of himself on some level or another. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it doesn't say we're not animals. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They're not exactly on the same level though. For example that chimp Sarah could detect intentions in others, but couldn't acknowledge that others could detect intentions. Something like that. Good old Sarah. |

some scientists believe animals are capable of abstractions some don't, they believe it's still like tricks to get food, like the rat pushing a button that opens a little door to his supper coming up with an abstraction like god makes us different from animals because animals can't come up with that |
||||||||

|
The problem here is that while we seemingly have better intellectual skills, it's a little silly to look at it as a simple man/animal dichotomy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What about the crow that could bend a wire to get to the food? Surely he was more human than Dick Cheney? |

Whatever, the fact is, humans ARE animals. There's a big leap in sophistication between a flea and a dog, and there's also a big leap between a dog and a human, but we're all still animals. Human consciousness does not separate us from being members of the animal kingdom. God, jesus, religion, all belief systems in fact are an abuse of our consciousness if anything. So called lesser animals use what little conscious understanding they have to its full potential, whereas humans live in some sort of fantasy world of gods and other such rubbish which only leads to division, confusion and untold self-inflicted misery. |

now you're saying religion holds us back from greater potential (as human beings), and i kinda agree with that. also i'm fine with your skill, from amoebe to human. on the contrary i thought you said in [#02162073] that people are just animals and therefor don't need religion, and i disagreed with that reasoning |

I didn't think it was overly christian. Nothing more than what your average american would say. "God told me to come here" etc... But never the less, children aren't old enough to realise what's going on and just follow their parents biliefs. We have to protect kids from this. Wait till they are old enough to decide for themselves. |
||||||||

but 'we' can't let that happen: if we wait until people are old enough to decide for themselves, they'll never fall for that BS :) 'No thank you, Mr. Jesus. Now go away.' |

i just finished watching it about 20 mins ago..you got to admit thought the CGI was slick man, the story could of developed a bit more i thought, appocalyptic stories usualy have a longer running time. |

Religious symbolism I observed [Minus plot ques] When Willy's family get on the chopper to leave NY they all pray together. When Willy is saved by the chick she has a cross hanging from the mirror in her car. When the chick pulls a photo of Willy's family out of the drawer the pose is not dissimilar to that of the virgin mary and baby jebus. "I know because god told me" "god knows the way" etc.. Final scene is her with the antidote walking towards a church. This seemed like an ad for christianity rather than a story that has biblical similarities as in Children of Men. Children of men has a overtone to it, but no churches or crosses or lead characters harping on about how god knows the way he shall save us all. Anyway I'm really happy with this threat, I think some excellent issues have been raised and discussed without the conversation deteriorating into name calling/anger etc.. WERD |

why does food thats meant to go in the oven taste so good when you put it in the microwave even though it looks like puke and gives you the shits ???????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
microwave radiation vs thermal radiation? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Micro radiation is definetly the best and i am certain will smith would agree with me as would our lard and savior jesus savlon but do you think thats how will smith will outlive us all as he is no doubt already doing on an alternate tradjectory of our universe? and is the film i am ledgend merely an illusion we can percieve of will smith (the trans dimensional traveller)s report back to us from another plane of existence? or merely a sludgy boring popcorn flick for the brainead mass of cattle we call humanity to veg out to on their way to the slaughterhouse? huh HUH ? |

Even younger here, and he wears sexy shorts! |

damn right sexy shorts! I thought he was famous for his "selfish jeans"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well when he wears jeans he's being selfish by not sharing his sexy legs with anyone. His shorts are not so selfish. |
