5 Reasons Why Everyone Should Stream The Prince of Egypt on Netflix
PJ Media ^ | 04-17-2015 | Michael van der Galien

Posted on 04/17/2015 2:39:27 AM PDT by Michael van der Galien

Dear Dave,

Yesterday evening you suggested I watch The Prince of Egypt, in your opinion the best movie inspired by the book of Exodus. Although I didn’t have time then, I got to it this morning. It impressed me mightily.

The top 5 reasons why I loved it – and why everybody who reads this article should watch it if they haven’t already – are:

1. Moses never doubts God, only himself.

This is a vital lesson for believers of all kinds; you can doubt your own abilities, but never doubt the most high God, who created everything, and without whom nothing would be.

[VIDEO]

2. The Pharaoh (or Moses’ adopted brother) initially has a kind heart at least towards those he holds dear, but is hardened by pride and a blind adherence to tradition.

It’s not a story about evil people, but about evil values. There’s a difference between the two, those who worship God should be aware of that and act accordingly, which also means they have to reason in favor of good values; people have wrong opinions, their hearts and souls can still be saved.

[VIDEO]

3. The story isn’t merely one of victory or redemption, it’s a tragedy at the same time.

Moses does what God orders him to do, but he’s not doing it in order to take revenge. He’s acting out of love – for his people, and even for his adopted brother, the crown prince who eventually becomes the new Pharaoh.

[VIDEO]

I’ve been told by certain freepers that cartoons are verboten in the adult world, and are a sign of pedophilia.

Certain freepers have small tree limbs lodged in their intestinal orifices.

Euphemisms are a hundred times funnier than the actual statement.

"I’ve been told by certain freepers that cartoons are verboten in the adult world, and are a sign of pedophilia."

Now you know you aren't being quite accurate here. You weren't told any such thing.

Cartoons are not a sign of pedophilia. They're harmless fun.

However, there is a phenomenon of adult men who like pink glitter ponies, and who self-identify as "Bronies." Some of these men are, indeed, pedophiles, and some of them obtain sexual arousal from dressing up in pony suits and/or watching the ponies.

Associating oneself with such a phenomenon is, well...let's just say if my husband were into it, I'd be alarmed.

I’ve also been told by certain freepers that they completely believe the same stylesheet the mainstream media portrays and are all for the magnifying-glass “can’t see the forest for the trees” mentality of demonizing an entire group for a troup of whackos.

They also proclaim to have knowledge of the internet, but would be utterly shocked if I were to divulge the depravity of everything they ever loved. Because its the internet. Again, the magnifying-glass effect.

Look, you posted that thread, along with a big graphic of prancing pink ponies. You had to know you would get feedback. If the feedback was unwelcome, you shouldn’t have posted it in the first place.

So please stop trying to act like a victim.

Look. This is my olive branch.

How can two people who like zombies, Ted Cruz, values, Federalism, assuming (by federalism extension) Article V, differ on a GD EFFING CARTOON.

I like Walking Dead too. Probably not as much, I think its a bit too gory for my tastes. But I could run rings around you implying it glorifies necrophilia by way of the magnifying glass effect the mainstream media portrays by abuse of the ability to search the internet. It is patently ridiculous that you would trash people on this site espousing values that have been persistently portrayed in a cartoon by harping on the inevitable few, in every entertainment venue, are sick in the head.

If you like The Prince of Egypt on Netflix, they also have Joseph, King of Dreams, which is better, IMO.

Crazieman, you don’t have to extend an olive branch, although I appreciate the sentiment. There’s no war here.

I just happened upon this thread and saw you misrepresenting what happened on your earlier thread, that’s all. I was there, so I wasn’t going to let you do it without calling you on it.

Again, I don’t believe you were naive enough to think that all of the feedback you would get would be positive-—dude, do a Google image search of “bronies”-—so when I see you use hyperbole such as “trashing”, I don’t get where the emotionalism is coming from.

Seeing as you apparently can’t handle negative responses, I’m beginning to wonder if you posted the thread in order to provoke.

Either way, I really don’t care. You can deal with it or not; it’s up to you.

Very well then. I suppose I will have to find time, as you have, the absurd, sexual proclivities of the dead, decaying, and the reanimated on every thread you ever post that ever hints of Walking Dead and thereby, logically, associating you with them.

Good Day.

Just remember who gave a damn. I didn’t. That can be searched.

Apparently, you did. That can also be searched.

Good Day again. I have work to do.

Saw this movie with my kids when they were little.

The only reason I recall it is that we went camping afterwards in a sandy river bottom. I made the kids torches at night and my five year-old at the time marched around carrying his chanting “Let my people go...”

Flounce off in a huff, then. And keep in mind that you, instead of attending to all that work, were being less than honest here, while you nursed your butthurt from a week or two weeks ago.

***prancing pink ponies. ***
Get those pink ponies hooked on sweet grain and you will see just how vicious they really are!
They will tear down fence, swarm you, knock you down then fight and kick each other for the grain!

It is like cocaine to them! They will come running any time they see you outside your house!

I’ve never seen it, but I do remember when it was being made, the producers had to give the script to the muzzlemen to make sure there was nothing offensive to islam in it.
