Does anyone remember when Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was a popular musical? Strange times.

Like Jesus Christ Superstar I understand, given the time of its release, its sympathy with Judas, its sort of half-questioning way of dealing with the whole story. But Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was one hell of a thing.

What's everyone work of fiction which addresses the mythology? I enjoy Sandman, I, Lucifer and The Mysterious Stranger, although there is also an angel in the Wrinkle in Time sequels, if I remember correctly. Supernatural is going into like it's 11th season now. All those things have angels, God and Satan, but I don't think any of them have Jesus. Maybe I, Lucifer did though, I don't remember well enough.

Oh, and I suppose there's Angels in America. A lot of works about God depict him as an absent and neglectful father figure for humanity, perhaps to preserve His mystery and avoid establishing too many rules about Him.

I really like all the Twilight Zone episodes with Satan, especially when he is played by Burgess Meredith. There are also some with guardian angels, but I don't believe God is any of them.

I kind of miss the Twilight Zone interpretation of the Devil, when he would just kind of show up all over the place, usually smiling, making deals with people and being tricky. One time he was even Julie Newmar.

There is an action figure of one iteration of Twilight Zone Devil:  It doesn't look like any of the Guardian Angels made the action figure cut, though. Nobody must want to display them on their shelves.

Another great work which often features el Diablo is the classic opera, Don Giovanni, where the titular don is dragged down into hell for refusing to repent for all of his prevaricating, philandering and murder by duel. However, I like to think that he then uses his trickery to turn all of the Nine Hells into a swinging party, adding all of the souls of the damned to his lista.

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm Mr. Morningstar, Governmental Statistics branch. Which religion is the fastest growing, you say? Well, I have an answer for you, but I'm afraid I'll need you to sign something to have a look at our forms. Ignore that burning smell, haven't been able to get it out of the office since I started here. Oh, there's no need to read over my contract. No, no, there's no monetary cost. In fact, I can promise that as long as you're alive, we won't be taking any payment from you. Just a little signature, that's all I require. If you could just skip over those paragraphs regarding New Hampshire lawyers or southern stringed instrument contests, I'd be much obliged. They just take such an awfully long time to read for mere trifles. Well now, thank you kindly for your John Hancock. I'll just be on my way for now, but I'll be seeing you soon. Real soon. Wahahahahahahaha!!!

Here at Government Statistics, we like to emphasize that there is no evidence of an afterlife, especially not Hell or, indeed, an immortal soul. If, for some reason, you happen to find yourself with a piece of paper in front of you which requires you to sell that made up concept, say, right now, then we encourage you to sign!

Holy Trinity Quiz: 1. What political party do you think Jesus would think most confirms with His expressed beliefs and will? 2. What do you think God's thoughts would be about the fact that you can get dog by making the English manifestation of His name backwards? 3. Which Seinfeld character most resembles the Holy Ghost? (Please note: "none" or "all" is not an acceptable answer.) Show your work.

Does Satan also have resurrection powers or is that forbidden to the evil cleric spell list?

Nelson Mandingo posted:Resurrection is a 7th level spell for all Clerics. Wow! Satan must be able to cast at least 10th level spells, so I imagine he also has the power to resurrect. He also seems to have better manifestation powers and forms.

What if your prayers reached the Devil instead, though? Cure disease is probably like a 5th level spell, so he probably knows that one too.

Enchanter Homnibus posted:I've never heard of the Devil ever curing a disease. I believe that the devils are not capable of doing any good. Many stories involve the Devil exchanging long life or healthiness for souls, while God is more prone to test His worthy followers with disease or other torments. May I direct you to the book of Job?

I received a tainted blood transfusion of gammaglobulin (Hep C) when I was young due to Kawasaki's disease, but unlike the others who received the sample, I tested negative, so God also does not love me nearly as much he loves Job. I got the disease for children that makes your tongue turn into a raspberry and your skin turn into a horrible itching mass, plus I learned I was allergic to aspirin such that it causes my throat to almost swell closed, and I guess I was in danger of my heart having an aneurism, then the blood they pumped into me was poison, but, well, it got better, so I must conclude that Job is higher up on God's best friends list.
