"The Buddy Christ."
:04:13
That's not the sanctioned term
we're using for the symbol.
:04:17
Just something we've been
kicking around the office.
:04:20
But look at it.
:04:22
Doesn't it pop?
:04:24
Buddy Christ.
:04:26
Well, there you have it.
:04:29
Let me get this straight.
:04:31
You don't believe in God
because of Alice in Wonderland?
:04:35
No, Through the Looking Glass.
:04:38
That poem,
"The Walrus and the Carpenter"...
:04:40
that's an indictment
of organized religion.
:04:43
The Walrus, with his girth
and his good nature...
:04:46
he obviously represents either Buddha...
:04:48
or with his tusks,
the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha.
:04:52
That takes care
of your Eastern religions.
:04:54
Now, the Carpenter, which is
an obvious reference to Jesus Christ...
:04:58
who was raised a carpenter's son,
he represents the Western religions.
:05:02
Now, in the poem,
what do they do?
:05:05
They dupe all these oysters
into following them...
:05:08
and then proceed to shuck and devour
the helpless creatures en masse.
:05:13
I don't know what that says toyou,
but to me it says...
:05:17
that following these faiths
based on mythological figures...
:05:21
ensures the destruction
ofone's inner-being.
:05:25
Organized religion destroys
who we are...
:05:27
by inhibiting our actions,
by inhibiting our decisions...
:05:31
out of fear of some
intangible parent figure...
:05:35
who shakes a finger at us
from thousands of years ago...
:05:38
and says, " Do it--
Do it and I'll fuckin´ spank you!"
:05:43
Oh,Jesus!
:05:45
The way you put it, I've never really
thought about it like that before.
:05:50
What have I been doing
with my life?
:05:54
- What am l?
- Yeah, I know.
:05:58
Listen, my advice to you...
