You lost me a little when you related it back to the Gilmore Girls, as I loathe their fake, forced dialogue, but I'll let it go. ;) It's an interesting idea. If we're arguing that God is Almighty, (which I say throws a wrench in the Bible to begin with,) would he then have known he'd have to fight his son? Why would God need an adversary? And why would he create a son he would have to torture, (essentially) for all eternity? It sucked for Jesus because he had to die, but at least he's kickin' it in Heaven with dad while a good portion of the world worships him. But Satan's suffering in Hell, enduring the wrath of humans. How is that cool? Is God that selfish? Did he "create" Jesus as a replacement? Answer my questions. :)
If God is Almighty, why do anything? If he is _that_ powerful, why make humans? He knows how it ends, which is his ultimate worship, so why does he give a fuck?
Yes, of course, God is so awesome, he can both create a rock too heavy for him to lift, _and_ lift it, because he is God, and therefore, he can break the rules. That doesn't help us, though.
But! First, the Gilmore Girls are better than any single conversation to ever take place ever.
Does the Bible not say that he is almighty? Why does he even exist? What point is he by himself? Did he create himself? Is he part of an entirely different universe? Maybe we're a school project. I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm trying to better understand your theory.
And, the Gilmore Girls are utter crap. :( Usually.
HA! YES! GOD I HATE SCRUBS! and I don't just mean this in a "well, she insults me, i insult her" argument.
I mean that in a, "I want to punch his goddamn face in every time he daydreams. Or opens his mouth. Or appears on screen. I want to choke the writer every time I hear his goddamn voice narrating the stupid fucking 'moral of the story' at the end of the fucking episode. I want to kick every slapstick moment because it totally throws off and ruins the forth wall, as I wait for the laughtrack that _should_ exist, but does not because it is a "THE INTABWBZ R CERIOUS BIZNESS!" show. I want to take a shit on the face of whoever thought that including the music IN THE SHOW'S REALITY was a good idea. (Same goes for the town's trubador in GG.) I want to rub Garden States screenplay that has been printed on fiberglass all over his face, to show him how writing is actually done. And other stuff that my tired, hungry, Gilmore Girls addled mind can't maintain, also."
Oh man, that felt good. btw, I promise this isn't actually towards you.

I'm busting out my Scrubs icons for you, do you like it? :DbohemianloveJuly 12 2007, 07:24:56 UTC
You cut me deep!! At least Scrubs has an almost realistic script while the Gilmore Girls hardly leaves time for anyone to breathe. The writers are so desperate for a "realistic" dialogue, but in the end it's the O.C. without as many hot people. As that damn girl never picks the right boy.
I knew you hated Scrubs, I gave it to you because I'm a kind, generous soul. <3 And I love it with all my heart. The characters are exaggerated and funny, but perfect. And it's the only show that's ever made me laugh fer realz. So it beats the Gilmore Girls on style points alone.

Gilmore Girls is witty, and quick, and actually pulls off the Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead style of back-and-forth that is really lacking on TV right now

God must like Scrubs, then, if your head hurts.
I think every show is trying to accomplish the same thing, and the Gilmore Girls might do it for some people, but I see through it. It's so grossly insincere and just plain annoying. I can't listen to anything they say because I'm too busy imagining a knife jabbing through their eyes.
Scrubs is honest about it's over-the-top ness. It makes fun of itself. But the characters act and speak like humans instead of a strange, speed talking alien clan. Hehe

You obviously haven't hung out with my bff Andrew and I. Sometimes, when we get on a role, we can match Gilmore Girls in both speed _and_ ridiculous references. It's possible, and I admire the show for trying.
Ok, how about this. Heads I win, tails you win.
*flips*
Oh, how bad for you, Amanda. Hopefully it'll work out better for you next time. :-D
He doesn't have to fight his son. This probably would've worked out without Luc offering. But Luc knew that as much as it would hurt both of them, a sacrifice for this grand experiment we call life would show more honor and love than any amount of hugs and "I'll stand by you forever!"s.
I'm not saying that Luc is right, or that we should nessicarily follow him. I just want to show that even his decision was made for love.
God is Love. The universe is bound by it. There is no escaping it.
I think Jesus is more love than God is. God is a selfish, unjust tyrant. IMO. :P
But back to Satan! It's always been my thought that he probably wasn't as crap as the Bible says he is/was. I'm totally going to lose focus, just to let you know. I also think that if any of the Bible is true, Hell probably isn't. I think people are punished enough for their sins so Hell is basically irrelevant. But... what?

Right. How would this be an honor for Satan?
