I consulted the oracle.

God is a DJ
God is a lie
God is a woman
God is a missionary
God is a comedian
God is a bullet
God is a girl
God is a mythtake
God is a consuming fire.

I believe in Pizzas, because even when I don't believe in them I can still eat them.

The Fountain: "First, the good news: The Fountain is only 97 minutes long. Now the bad: that's 97 minutes of rampant metaphysical codswallop."

I can't decide which was worse the song or the video. On the one hand the song was pretty, but also just nonsense. The video was pretty, but also just shilling (and a bizarre mishmash of movies).

On further review, any man who doesn't believe in Elvis is dead to me.
