Hmm, I just had a pretty wierd thought. Christ is in many ways very similar to Tyler Durden.

He shows up, gets people to believe in him and think he's going to change the world, then dies a martyr. Both were rebels and preached ideas which were going against the current Establishment. After dieing, Christ comes back to life, and at the end of Fight Club, its hinted that Tyler might make a return.

...oh dear, now I've gone an done it.

?
 I don't remember the film hinting it, never read the book tho.

[Rictor]

Yeah, the book ending is different. Or rather, the movie one is.


--SPOILER--






In the book, Jack (actually, its Joe, but whatever) also shoots himself and lives. However, nothing explodes because Tyler used the wrong stuff (paraffin) to make the explosives. After shooting himself, Jack says he goes to Heaven, but the way he described it, its pretty obvious that he's in a mental asylum.

And then at the very, very end, you've got some punched out guys who work as janitors and stuff in "Heaven" and they say "its all going according to plan, we're looking forward to getting you back sir"

Man, I need that book. Chuck Pahlunik is awesome.

[adwight]

Well I just saw it, and thought it was pretty good.  Here's my biggest thing about it.  If human beings can drag themselves so low to commt those acts to another human being, we really need to rethink the way we are doing things.  The stuff they did to Jesus was just plain wrong, tearing off chunk after chunk of his skin with glass bits, a crown of thorns, and finally nailing him upon a cross.  It just plain made me sick after seeing him dragged off with every single inch of his body having a gash caused by a whip.  It just made my jaw drop.

Forget that, if watching people do that to other people qualifies as entertainment of any sort, never mind major-movie material, there's something seriously ****ed with society.

[an0n]

Oh and I'd like to point out that God DOES need a reason for everything he does and does not do.

Otherwise we have a being of infinite power, intelligence and knowledge operating on a principle of total chaos. If this were true the universe wouldn't be here.

So either God inflicts/allows every act of suffering and pain because he wants to, or he simply doesn't exist.

And if it's the first, then I wouldn't want to live in an afterlife run by such a complete ****-up.

Okay, now I'd definitely like to wave the flag on this one. How close have you look at the evidence for this one? Or are you taking others' words on faith? Because my own investigation of this has led me to quite a different conclusion. Where are your facts from on this one?

[Kazan]

I am taking Dr Hector Avalos (professor in religious studies) words on evidence

there are a lot of webpages that quote the dubiously dated papryses that supposted predate it (p51 i think is it's assigned identifier) and don't bother to mention the dating is dubious on the earlier ones

This rather amused me: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=14498
Apparently, the composer for the film thought Satan possesed his computer. Why? I'm not quite sure, but I'm thinking that LSD or some other hallucinogen is a distinct possibility.

[Liberator]

Doctor of Religious Studies huh?

Is that anything like Women's Studies where they have lesbian sex all the time?

[Stryke 9]

Yes. You should try taking the course sometime, those priests are pretty limber.

You know, there's no need to flaunt your ignorance.

[Rictor]

Well, not need as such. More of a strong desire.
