Damnation Alley was my gateway to post apocalyptic society. Ark
II was another favorite. I watched some Planet of the Apes before
that, however I was too young to really appreciate some of it.
Who'd win in a street fight? Snake Plissken or Hell Tanner?
My son is 17 and took a film appreciation class last year, and he's
taken a liking to cult classics. We watched "Escape from New York",
and he especially liked the intro.
"THE FUTURE - 1997."
Escape from New York was interesting because that was Kurt Russell's first edgy action character role. Previously he appeared in Disney films and made TV appearances on shows like Lost in Space and Gilligan's Island. made TV appearances on shows like Lost in Space and Gilligan's Island.

In a way we're seeing a lot of that... Humanist narcisism and
depression combined with identity politics. Not that all religions
are the same, and some have evolved over time. A common thread is
people that have faith tend to be happier and more fulfilled in their
lives. I don't
Don't know about that. It took me 3 years of Psychotherapy to undo the
damage
done by my Chatholic upbringing. Depression and panic attacks were my
primary symptoms. That will happen when you're told as a child you are
bad and born a sinner. To be forgivin you have to go in a dark booth
and tell the priest how bad you were/are. That's pretty sick shit if
you ask me.
Not all churches and variants on faith are Catholicism.
happens if you are in a car accident (Like me) and you can no longer get around? Your spine or neck was injured. Or you get some other disabling disease. Or you just get so old you can't stand for longer then 3 minutes. Life happens and there is no way of knowing how it's going to turn out. All we can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst. It's human nature not to think about this stuff. It's scary! But we do have choices.
i'm going to guilt the woman i live with into taking care of me i guess. i t care of her for a year. ---

i live with a muslim and she's had to deal with a lot of weird shit. and the culture is interwoven with their faith [SOMETIMES]. ---
I tried leaving the Catholic Church. I tried others but nothing clicked for me. Having "Faith" in something created by other humans is too far of a reach for me.

I guess that's the way is should work. Finding a woman to commit to something like that is another story. I hope it works out for you. It didn't for me.

I'm not much of a fan of organized religions in general. Much like the government it becomes a source of power and corruption eventually. smaller/local congregations and less mega-churches. If a congregation
is larger than what a person can reasonably talk with on a regular
basis, then it's probably too big.
i'll just die on the job. hopefully i will take some assholes with me

i'm spiritual but not religious. that's worked out for me.

she died (I understand she died of colon cancer).

I was working on a project with a guy that tried to sell me his line of faith. One of the principals of it required you to exposed to the word, then choose to accept it or not. Of course, acceptance meant a trip to heaven and no-compliance was hell. I joked with him saying that was a total dick move because I was happy and content with my ignoarance, then he lays this bomb on me that keeps me double guessing my destiny!
oh there's a god alright. i dont think he's a nice fella though.
i'm sure we will all go to hell or something like it.

I hate to admit it but I bought into both of them back then. So was
my ex-wife. We both just walked away from religion. It's all "emotionalsim" and selling something people believe they need.

Interesting. I can probably extrapolate where the second thought comes from,
Personally I've come to the thought that if a being such as that exists, the

I'd also prefer to see churches have to register and operate as an NPO, rather than simply excluded from various bills or taxes.
