(Which...honestly, to me, doesn't seem to make anyone come off any better. God is a psychotic terrorist, and Job is a ex-wannabe-prostitute with Stockholm syndrome and daddy issues?)
Well, again, it's a question of metaphor and meaning vs. plot mechanics, but I also know that it's a pretty upsetting story no matter how you come at it. I'm just twisted enough to enjoy the metaphor and the fucked-upness and all, but I don't expect to be able to convince anyone else that because that's how I feel about it, they ought to too. Just sayin that's my read, is all.
I've always liked Judas, too. May have to do with early exposure to Jesus Christ Superstar, which, is, like one step away from Bible slash.
I'm betting Lucifer doesn't really look anything like Viggo Mortensen. Damn.
I'm betting closer to Dick Cheney. Who I can totally imagine having that conversation with Shrub.
"So, remember how you had toast for breakfast? Wasn't that good??"
Yeah! Say, hey, thanks for reminding me about that good toast!
I did a google image search for 'lucifer' - this is the best one so far: [link]

Um... I also wanted to mention about the cracked wheat, and then blackberry jam?
I hate myself right now.

Lucifer, prince of darkness by day, romance novel model by night.

Me, too! That, and a book I read back in junior high by Taylor Caldwell called I, Judas. I also read about that time Irving Stone's The Word which I think also had a sympathetic Judas in it, but I could be wrong about that.
Is it okay if I wish his whiny stuck-up works-harder-than-me-but-also-earns-four-times-my-salary ass a plague of boils and toads? Just this once?
I think it would be appropriate--nay necessary.
Whoa.
I just read that Queer Eye was cancelled.
It's not that surprising -- I know I stopped watching it a while back.
