Mysticism, like from Judaism or other Eastern religions.

Christianity has mysticism. There's Lectio Divina, Hesychasm, Contemplative Prayer, etc...

On another note, why should Christianity change to gain popularity?

thats oddly specific

He was trying to distill me into an elixir so Lao Tzu could get his pills back.

Didn't work though.

It is? I did not know that.

Ever heard of holy fools from the times of the eastern roman empire?

No doubt for some man-centered reason.

I just had bootcamp flashbacks..

So, Jesus is with me 100%.

10% of it is Him walking with me.

The other 90% is Him dragging me along. :lol:

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.

I mean, Daniel did pass out twice, when he saw Gabriel, in the Book of Daniel. :lol:

Sure, all the angels are tough and awesome. At the same time, though, I've always seen him as...you know...he's beautiful, young, handsome (probably because I'm a girl and a romantic)...and he starts out as gentle (like he was with Mary)...then, if you get him mad, he goes, "I AM GABRIEL! And you didn't listen to me! So guess what, you can't speak now!" Boom!

Raphael would be the cheery, more talkative one. Not that Gabriel isn't cheery, but I've always seen him as quiet, unless you get him mad. Plus, Raphael talked a lot in the Book of Tobit. And he kicked the demon's butt. (Gosh, I love that book.)

Michael doesn't really talk that much, but that's because he lets his sword do the talking. Any time he shows up...CRUD GETS REAL. O.o

There is a manga version of the Bible.

They're even making a manga of the Quran.

Yep, but a shonen one, with fights and with it's archetypal characters, like Marie as "a loli", Samson as "the bad guy which is in fact a good guy when you know him better"; Salomon as "the wise guy"; Jesus as the "Main Character", etc,etc... I think we could even put some yandere character...
I'm pretty sure that if someone create manga like dat, the church frequentation'll double...

Ahhh...I...highly doubt it...Um...hmmm... :unsure:

But yeah, if I could make a shonen manga on the Bible, you know how fast I would do it? DUDE. It would be AWESOME.

(Sure, I'm a girl, but I grew up with shonen manga more than shoujo. So a shonen manga would be LEGIT.)

A girl on the internet? IMPOSSIBLE!
Still, you know, most of the girl I know read more Shonen than Shojo, so, don't worry, you're not an exception...

Something to the effect. :lol2:

Sometimes I notice Him tap on my shoulder. Other times, He has to clock me over the head with a 2x4 before I see.

That's been done, but I have to wonder if they also included those books Protestants leave out.

Manga Talmud would be really boring.

I know, right? :lol:

That's interesting. Then again, most shoujo (MOST...there are a few exceptions) is kinda the same, so that's why shonen is more popular.

But yeah, a shonen manja of the Bible would be legit.

A Manga Torah would be pretty cool, though. I'd read the fuck out of the Book of Numbers in Manga form.

The "Begetting" part would probably land it in another genre then intended.

by **Constaniana** » Sat Feb 21, 2015 6:37 pm

Actually, I was thinking about an anime Book of Mormon the other night. Mainly about animating the bit with Ammon's arm-chopping rage in all its gruesome glory.
