Does anyone remember a series of movies called "Faces of Death"?

That's basically what live streaming has become now.

Folks were so outraged and shocked by "Snuff films".
Now they're easily viewed by children.

How many kids did that one diddle?

Not saying it was any kind of divine thing, religion is nutty nonsense.

Just wondering, since that seems to be a standard preacher thing to do.

*ahem*

A nekkid man in -------...
fell upon his head...
and though 'twas just a statue...
a priest is surely dead...

Was it Karmic fate?...
or just a workman's blunder?...
even though I'll never know...
still it makes me wonder...

what it took from one...
to the other gives...
It's always been indifferent...
and why Christa lives...

Wow, that's one wild way to go. I've pretty much given up on religion of any kind, but I sympathize with anyone who witnessed that.

Of such stuff are legends made.

"Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man ... living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money."

George Carlin
