Really. Wonder how THAT happens and what could possibly go wrong?
God as a child just wouldn't work for me. I think he's about 25-30ish...forever.
It seems out of character for an embodied God to be speaking out of the bush. It’s not hard to portray a speaking bush on film so I don’t get this business about having no choice.
Apparently it’s not that Scott portrays God as a child, but the child is the concrete manifestation/mouthpiece of God. Early on in Scripture, angels carrying God’s messages were portrayed as youths. Movies being what they are, viewers need a more believable “voice of God” than words emanating from a burning bush. I appreciate the problem, as I’ve not found any media depiction of God’s voice a satisfactory & believable form.
That is enough info for me to never see it. To me, portraying God that way is blasphemy. I can’t be a part of that.
Alan Rickman played the Voice of God in Dogma. At least that film got the casting right!
You don’t believe that Christ born in a manger is God? The second person of the Holy Trinity?
Read up on the miracles of Santo Nino.
I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagles wings, and singin’ lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I’m in the front row and I’m hammered drunk!..............or..............
I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-Shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I’m here to party........or
Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus, in his golden, fleece diapers, with your curled-up, fat, balled-up little fists pawin’ at the air.., lyin’ there in his ghost manger, just lookin’ at his Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin’ ‘bout shapes and colors.
