Reply #15: It was a hoot to this atheist... [View All]

I considered it in the genre of Unintentional Comedy and wasn't disappointed. Hell, I was rolling off the couch laughing at the plot holes, inconsistencies and wacko theology.

Unfortunately, I cannot describe the characters without insulting the cardboard industry.

The girl who got zapped by lightning had obviously committed three Cardinal Sins: she had a fake tattoo, wore navel-baring pants, and lived in Florida.

We see Bill Pullman, an "astrophysicist," in a classroom spouting off about the plagues of Egypt. Was he substituting for a missing theology professor that day? (On edit: I spent January working in Egypt. Two monster clouds of locusts came thru...but since this happens all the time, it only rated minor mentions in the media.)

That annoying, know-it-all Nutball Nun does get Bonus Irony Points. First she comes up with a map scrawled by Veggie-Girl and says something about Galileo...I'm assuming that's the same Galileo her church put under house arrest for that whole earth-is-round thing.

Then she goes into some nonsense about the mystical practices of Buddhist monks. Back in the Good Old Days, that would been enough to get her burned at the stake.
