Worship THAT!? Never!
The occasionally overwhelming darkness of life can seem to be all encompassing. Depressing beyond belief. Beyond hope. I’m looking at life through those dark filters at the moment. Actually, for quite too long now… It’s not pretty… but I’ve seen uglier, and lived through worse.
They say that god works in mysterious ways…
But something has lifted my spirits, if even just a little bit. I’m here watching the end of a mediocre movie called “Devil’s Advocate”. It’s not all that great. In it, Al Pacino plays Satan in human form… an attorney, no less… And he is giving a belligerent, indignant speech about God, his nemesis. It is this speech that has given my spirits a boost and a grin for the day. A ray of hope and sunshine. Redemption can come in odd, unexpected ways. I’ll take it! I accept!
I hope you enjoy this transcript as much as I enjoy bringing it to your attention:
God? …..Is that it..?
…God!?
Well, I’ll tell ya… let me give you a little inside information about “god”:God likes to watch.
He’s a prankster.Think about it :
He gives man instincts…
He gives you this extraordinary gift…And then what does he do..? I swear, for his own amusement… his own private cosmic gag reel…
He sets the rules in opposition. It’s the goof of all time:
Look… but don’t touch…
Touch… but don’t taste…
Taste… but don’t swallow…Ha ha ha!
And while you’re jumping from one foot to the next, what is he doing?
He’s laughing his sick f cking ass off..!
He’s a tight-ass..!
He’s a SADIST..!
He’s an absentee landlord..!Worship *THAT* !?!…
NEVER!
Al Pacino as Satan in Devil’s Advocate
Even though Pacino is playing the devil… that particular description doesn’t sound so devilish at all… Sounds pretty logical to me! And I don’t have much use for those bankrupt, irrelevant concepts known as ‘god’ and ‘devil’….
Update: OK.. I finished watching the movie since I originally posted this message.

“Piece of Shit!”
But that doesn’t diminish the quoted text above. That much is golden!

funny and true…. especially the review!
Hey Shube! Great to hear from you. I was actually thinking of you when I was quoting the movie above. I remember once a few years ago when you brought up that very scene from that piece of crap movie at a party you and I were at, and I recall a hilarious moment when you acted out that scene. We had a great laugh about it then.
It’s funny that you commented on it since you had flashed through my consciousness as I wrote it.
BTW, please accept my apologies for being such a prick and not keeping in communication. I’ve been like that lately and I’ll address that in the near future. It was great hearing from you though! I’m glad you spoke up.
