Yes, I do believe my religion is infallible.

Relativism feels like a natural follow up to atheism. Historically, moral code has been passed down by people deemed greater than most. Many have religions or certain patterns of thinking associated with them. If there's not a higher being, nothing that makes those people special, there's nothing that says those people were right outside of their own heads. So you do what you want to do.

I agree with you totally on Catholicism. I'm sure in their minds they don't see it that way, but "The Lord thy God is One God", and it's wrong to offer worship to others. I think there was even a verse warning about people worshiping angels. Christianity =/= Catholicism.

Also, I will say religion. One of the major points of Christianity is that the practitioners don't have to be perfect, In fact, if they were, Christianity need not exist. Humans are human and subject to tripping up, and that's evident in most everything you can see today.

There's one issue here. I can tell you all I want about what I believe, but you have no reason to think it right, since it's "my point of view". So let's set that aside. Do you personally think premeditated murder is moral? I'd assume not, but I want to hear what you have to say.

It's been a good while since I've done VMs like this... It's good to be back! xp

So, I've already elaborated a tad. Tell me a bit about how you see things.

Sounds good to me

Sadly I'm going to have to forfeit: My family rented a cottage for the entire week, so I'm not home, aka no DS/Wifi (I have wired here though xD)

Well, Richard-rolled, maybe. :P

Oh yeah, that's very serious.

And the woodchuck wouldn't chuck any wood, because he's too lazy to bother. XD

You don't have to be a brain sturgeon to see she wears salmon-chanted clams that sticks to her chest no matter what plaice she goes to.

I took a few risks too, I was just on the wrong side of it in the end. xD
Well good luck in round two. :D

Good game, I can`t slip up once with you xD

This is a true battle. :)

You`re not going to let this be easy...

Air products? o.O

I'm on, sorry for being late

Hmm, that's very true. I think I just prefer my films/theatre to either a) be placed entirely in a fictional universe, or b) make the audience aware of the fictional universe without breaking the Fourth Wall too badly. Arthur Miller's The Crucible and All My Sons was a mix up of the two philosophies, I think.

Yeah, I separate the Scientology from the acting because Tom Cruise can actually act, and imo a lot of Hollywood ~stars~ are perfectly normal but severely lacking in that department these days. It seems like anybody can be an actor so long as they're beautiful/handsome...another reason why I watch foreign films and Indie stuff. At least it's got "real" people in it. As a chubby person, I'm fed up of HW telling me that all fat people are either comic-relief morons or psychopaths. Hence why Hurley from ABC's LOST is one of my favourite television characters; he swerves into the comic relief category sometimes, but only as a deeper extension of his role in the show. Despite his size, he is a very well-rounded and realistic character.

This is why I could never get on with the theatre of Bertolt Brecht: he was very much against the idea of entertaining and immersing the audience, and had more of the idea that the audience ought to be aware that they are watching a fictional representation of reality. Brechtian theatre just goes over my head...to my mind, if something immerses an audience then they remember it better and dissect it in their own minds, like Waiting for Godot, or Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. The latter makes the audience aware that they are in a fictional reality, but immerses them in the 'story' of Hamlet all the same. I can think about that play for hours. :3

Oh don't get me wrong, I LOVED Cloverfield, but it just made me feel a bit sick! I was like you, expecting it to be a bit disappointing (I found Blair Witch disappointing after all of the hype about the clever camera work) but aside from the motion sickness I thought it was an amazing film. I was in tears at the end when the camera man was eaten...but also squicked out because you got to see it. A very effective film. =]

And it's nice to meet someone who respects Tom Cruise's acting skills rather than out and out dismissing him. I liked him in War of the Worlds, and I really enjoyed it as a movie (again thinking it was going to be a let down because I love the original, the musical and the novel).
