Let's do this. I've got a random question!

Okay, if we were to make a movie about the War In Heaven from Revelation:

1.) Who would you star as God?

2.) Who would you star as Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael?

3.) Who would you star as Lucifer?

4.) What artists would you want to do the soundtrack?

:3

Well Morgan Freeman has done enough as God so I am thinking Samuel Jackson probably.

Lucifer's role would obviously be filled by Al Pacino.

Scarface as Lucifer...that sounds like an interesting idea.

Charles Dance for Lucifer (Tywin Lanister, Havelock Vetinari).

Morgan Freeman for God. Samuel l Jackson can be God in the sequel.

Archangels: Harrison Ford, John Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger (so good they named him twice), if they be too old then Sean Bean, Nicholas Cage, Peter Drinklage (Tyrion Lannister).

Whore of Babalon: Helena bonham Carter OR Angelina Jolie OR Jodelle Ferland (Harmony and young Adria from Stargate)

Blessed virgin Mary: Scarlett Pomers (Naomi Wildman from Star trek Voyager) OR Dakota Richardson (Lyra from Golden Compass) OR (Aurora from Maleficent).

I dunno if I like Nicholas Cage for Gabriel...I would think it should be somebody younger. Gabriel always seemed he would be the youngest of the three.
Michael would also seem to be younger, though I see why you picked Sean Bean, because he looks tough.
And I think John Wayne is dead. Though he WOULD be legit. I love John Wayne.
Angelina Jolie would work pretty well for that role, I think. She's good at playing seductive characters.
Scarlett is cool...I was thinking Saorise Ronan? (HOW COULD I FORGET THE BLESSED VIRGIN?!?! WOW! Thank you for reminding me!)

I see Gabriel as a tough dude, like maybe Bruce Willis or Clint Eastwood. When other angels show up they usually say "fear not", but when Zacharias doubts Gabe's message about the pending birth of John the Baptist, Gabe roars: "I AM GABRIEL!" and zaps the man with a curse of silence.

I like that scene.

Alrighty, I finally figured out what Christianity should introduce in order to gain some more popularity.

Mysticism, like from Judaism or other Eastern religions.

Maybe you mean Re introduce?

I commend Thomas Merton's Seeds of Contemplation.

Someone on this page just mentioned Teresa of Avila's Interior Castles.

I gained some benefit from reading The Dark Night of the Soul, by John of the Cross.

I consider Francis McNutt to be a mystic.

Christian mysticism is already a thing.


It is? I did not know that.

Mormonism might be peculiar, but they really do produce the highest quality of people.

By Judaism, I'm guessing you mean Kaballah?

Otherwise, I'm confused. Real Judaism, is no more, or less "mystical" than Christianity.
