Left Behind (2014 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
is anyone else really excited about this? I really hope Cage hams it up as much as possible and just cranks the dial off.
This is probably going to be one of the best "so awful it's good" movies of the year.
Pope’s child porn 'normal' claim sparks outrage among victims - World news, News - Belfasttelegraph.co.uk
I wonder what the Pope is smoking these days.
I never noticed before that Buddhism stresses rebirth and not reincarnation since there is no immortal soul. What exactly are the differences? Why is it said the Buddha experienced all of his rebirths?
If one where enlightened could one steal, cheat, lie in an enlightened way? drink alcohol in an enlightened way? shoot up drugs in an enlightened way? murder or rape in an enlightened way? Anyways, you see my point. Thoughts?
