There are really only Two Things Sacred in the World
His Majesty Comandante Banana, King of the Apes I & Chief of Quixotic Enterprises
Mecca in the movie, and getting a death sentence just for trying to
make money from a stupid movie. Hey, it's only another STUPID MOVIE TO
MAKE MONEY, OK?
I quote...
For "2012," Emmerich set his sites on destroying the some biggest
landmarks around the world, from Rome to Rio. But there's one place
that Emmerich wanted to demolish but didn't: the Kaaba, the cube-
shaped structure located in the center of Mecca. It's the focus of
prayers and the site of the Hajj, the biggest, most important
pilgrimage in Islam.
"Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit," the filmmaker told
scifiwire.com. "But my co-writer Harald [Kloser] said, 'I will not
have a fatwa on my head because of a movie.' And he was right."
Emmerich went on: "We have to all, in the western world, think about
this. You can actually let Christian symbols fall apart, but if you
would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have ... a fatwa, and
that sounds a little bit like what the state of this world is. So it's
just something which I kind of didn't [think] was [an] important
element, anyway, in the film, so I kind of left it out."

Well, and here comes the sacred stuff: THERE'S ONLY TWO THINGS REALLY
SACRED IN THE WORLD: THE MECCA FOR THE MUSLIMS, AND *BIG MONEY* FOR
THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.
Anything else is fair game in the jungle. ;)

So what's his complaint, really? That he's a gigantic pussy, that his
co-writer is a gigantic pussy, that they're both gigantic pussies, that
the movie producers are gigantic pussies, or that everyone involved in
this alleged freedom of expression suppression is in reality a
conformist who would gladly sell out for a few bucks but reserve a right
to posture, pontificate and pretend after the fact?
Yes, I would gladly help all the starving children in the World, except
for the fact that I don't wanna. Still, it's a shame how they're hungry
and all...

But think of the prohpets - I mean, profits. If word of this got out,
and Mecca was destroyed by the wrath of gawd, damn! It would be far
better than those Danish cartoons. Fuck the fatwa, fuck the jihad, fuck
the crybaby muslims. And... fuck everyone, now that you mention it.
I wonder who the writers decided were in gawd's grace in this movie, and
survived the whole thing. If it was we, who think for ourselves, well,
destroying big cities would have cremated a big percentage of us.
Collateral damage? Like the stupid Noah's Ark story? Yeah, probably.
Fuck.

Un-provable promises of pie in the sky when I die if I’ll only believe
in this legend or that don’t do it for me. It’s not that I don’t
care, but since death is a certainty why worry?

Mehr Baba, a Hindu, gave up speaking for 20+ years and when he finally
did say something those were the first words he uttered. :^)

The only True Rock that really rocks is Led Zeppelin. All those above
are not worth wiping one's ass with, had rocks been useful for ass
wiping, which they're not and believe me, I tried.

Well, they don't mess with the Christians that much either.

I learned the scam of organized religion at the end of the '50s. (Oral
Roberts inadvertently put me on the road to atheism, so he's not a complete
failure.)
