Oh, that's too clever, Rainbow--correlating the golden calf with the

golden arches! LOL!

Okay, I like it. (Even though I doubt there were real idols

once civilization exceeded 10,000 people. They had gods or a

god, often represented by icons. An " icon " is one of those

thingies you see in most churches.)

I heard an explanation that either accidentally or

intentionally, McD has modelled itself after a religion. They

have the symbols, including a lesser diety ( Mcdonald),

particular rites (picking up food, self-bussing food to their

trashbins, and scripture understood by the enlightened (the

menu, which can be somewhat cryptic for infidels).

The message I am replying to seems to have vanished (confused?).

Yes I've seen the film Dogma - I quite enjoyed it actually :-)

What were the Catholics(?) offended by?

Well, I had said that a lot of Catholics were offended by the movie " Dogma " ...

I went to a Christian Brothers High School and I can understand why...

It hits too close to the truth too many times... Much of the dogma

in religions and other closed orders is design designed by people to

control other people and it works best if the controlled don't think

about the " Dogmatic Truths " too much or they are likely question the

system that keep the inner circle in power...

That was the last movie I saw too, until unfortunately I went along

with group consensus and saw 'Big Momma's House' yesterday. I'm not a

movie snob and it was okay, but I don't often go to the movies because

most people don't want to see the things I want to. I had a good time a

few years back going to movies by myself--it almost became as fun as

going to the library. Also, the movie theatre by us is 9 dollars after

6:00. NINE dollars? That's insane!
