Christians, Ticks and Farmers

In honor of the rapture tomorrow, I am starting my day with The Original Left Behind, which is about…guess? The Rapture.  It should be fun. So far, this seems to be a mockumentary, because it is fake news.  They are using a bunch of news footage most of it pretty horrific, helicopters blowing up, etc.  Not cool yo. Oh wow, so now it has transitioned from a fake newscast to a man sitting on a desk with a Bible. I like how these guys clearly have no credentials, and yet talk as if they are scholars.  Ok, so apparently, this movie was made for those of us who were left behind.  They keep saying “we don’t know who the Anti-Christ is, but since you are watching this after the rapture, you will know”.  So the Russians are going to invade Israel after 3.5 years, causing the Jews to abandon the country, and the Anti-Christ moves into the temple.  Right on, so once the new world order happens, all I have to do is not take the number of the beast and ask for forgivness and I will be able to go to Heaven, I just have to not get beheaded first. 

Let’s discuss for a minute documentary film makers.  If you are making a documentary, it should be entertaining, engaging and in my mind somewhat non-biased.  You sitting on a desk ranting is not a documentary.  That is you being a douche.

I picked Under Our Skin a documentary about Lyme disease. It’s really sad how many people don’t get diagnosed and suffer for years. They say that 90% of the brains tested in autopsy of people who died from ALS, MS, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s had the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.  It seems to me like the medical establishment doesn’t want to treat Lyme, because it is chronic and expensive to treat.  There was a doctor that had great success treating people who had chronic Lyme, and they took away his medical license for a year after someone complained about his treatment…more than likely an insurance company.  Although, dear Lyme folks, sending balloons into the air isn’t a nice thing to do.

The Real Dirt on Farmer John is starting out awesome! “The soil tastes good today”, said after he took a big ole bite of dirt. :D Oh, and now he is dressing up in drag and costumes, and having someone follow his tractor naked! FREAKS! I love them! This movie got sad…it’s amazing to watch these old guys, so much like my grandparents. I can only imagine that my grandfather would be sad to see what has happened to his land.  This farmer John now is running an organic farm, which looks like a pain.  He reminds me a bit of my Uncle Dave.
