Stupid man. He's now in heaven. What is he complaining for?
So, God said to him, "Jesus Christ, you're in heaven and still complaining? Off to hell you go."

The kingdom of God is not on earth. It is the Devil's playground. Those of us of the Christian faith know well the Lord's Prayer. In it, we pray, "Thy kingdom come." Yes, let Your kingdom come, we await the coming of the Lord.
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

This pretty much sums up my beliefs also.

If you've made the connection to Vincent, you've got a sharp eye, Rob. That choice was a copy of the following quote:
Vincent : "Get with it. Millions of galaxies of hundreds of millions of stars, in a speck on one in a blink. That's us, lost in space. The cop, you, me... Who notices?"
Or, you didn't make the connection, in which case never mind.

Nobody is in control, least of all people. The arrogance of “control” is what leads to war, retarded notions like global warming and the like.

As a rather staunch Christian, I've come to despise platitudes such as "God is in control". It's completely meaningless. I especially hate when preachers use that as if it somehow offers comfort to grievers. Blaming God for terrible things doesn't make sense to me.
