Oh God... The Signal's real!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. THE SIGNAL, a small horror flick I love, came out over the weekend. It's not doing all that well and I wondered why... now I think I know...
The film is about a mysterious signal that goes out over all televisions. This signal drives anybody who sees it crazy... but in odd ways. What's good about the movie is that these people go insane in their own head, but they retain themselves a bit. It's not like they turn into zombies like in Stephen King's CELL or something like that.
Magnolia picked it up when it had a terrific premiere screening at Sundance and then held it for a long time... They released it on something like 200 screens and I don't know how it did in real numbers, but no one's really reporting it, so I don't think it did very well. Now I read this news story at MSNBC.
The story is about a man who watched the movie and decided to stab 2 people and run out. So, that's why we have no numbers. It's all evidence now that The Signal drives its audience mad!
This is one of those crazy "no shit? That wasn't a publicity stunt?" type stories. I can't believe it happened... I don't believe the movie actually turned this dude crazy (I've seen it twice on the big screen and it didn't make me kill anybody... in the theater, at least), but it makes for an interesting read.
Click here to read the whole thing!
If the flick is playing near you, give it a shot. I guarantee a good lot of you reading this that pass it up now will wish you saw it on its original release when it is finally discovered on DVD by the hardcores in the near future. It's a blast... just make sure to observe those around you and keep an eye out for sharp instruments.

My point being that myopic uk publishers will release this when everyone has forgotten it. Wahey.

Sure, come see our movie you might get knifed!

Run for your lives!!!

..I'll be sure to bring with me two or three people I hate. "The movie made me do it, the movie made me do it!"
-
... no one I know has even heard of it. How about putting a few commercials out there? I don't even know if it's playing near me. No shit it's not doing well.
-
...probably were just two assholes talking and kicking the seats of the guy in front of them, who proceeded the stab the fuck out of them. If that's the case, then I hope he gets off with a warning.

Plus, its fuckin Fullerton, it was gonna happen anyways.

Quint, forgive me, but since I saw this movie Friday night, I have not been able to stop thinking about how absolutely fucking dreadful it was. The first transmission was near-brilliant, true. But the last two transmissions drove me crazy and not in a good way. What I don't understand is who thought it would be a good idea to turn The Signal into a black comedy halfway through, and not only that, but a brutally unfunny social commentary. It was so incredibly disappointing because it set up its characters so well in that first act and I liked how the line between sane and crazy wasn't especially obvious, but the hallucinations and ironic, pithy dialogue, especially from 'Jim Parsons' had my friends and I looking at each other and rolling our eyes. It was opening night and it was the only theater the film is playing at in Hollywood and there were, no joke, 7 people there. I also think it's a little irresponsible to use this platform to link to an article about a truly scary, tragic incident hoping it will encourage people to go see the film. Look, it drove this guy literally crazy, you gotta see this shit for yourself! Having written several papers about school shootings and other sprees of violence influenced by films like Natural Born Killers and The Basketball Diaries, I feel comfortable in saying that this guy who stabbed these people was obviously crazy before he saw the movie and the movie played no part in affecting his decisions. He could've been watching Definitely, Maybe and he still would've stabbed those people. Obviously he had been planning something if he was carrying a weapon or other sharp instrument. I know a lot of people worked on The Signal and aside from me hating the shit out of it, yeah, sure, it sucks that no one is seeing it, but using that incident to encourage people to go see it is I dunno... it just made me uncomfortable. This isn't an attack on you for deciding to post something like this, because as journalists, it's our job to report the news and this is story is certainly relevant. And it's not an attack on the movie because my feelings about the film would be the same regardless of whether or not this incident ever happened. What prompted me to write this was that last graf, like, you'll wish you saw it in theaters now that this terrible thing happened. I guess I'm just trying to start a dialogue here about life imitating art and vice versa, and also a genuine movie debate about the pros and cons of The Signal. Maybe part of me not liking it was that I feel the film was wildly misrepresented by the trailer which surely could've influenced my attitudes about it, in that I paid for something other than what I got.

Then I definitely will. He has awful taste.
-
but it's no different on RottenTomatoes. The critics seem to be split on this one, and the "top" critics just edge into the fresh category. So the wider opinion doesn't exactly say that it's a stinker. But still, it doesn't sound very original to me.

I think it's safe to say this movie didnt drive that guy crazy. At one of the theaters in our area(in Baltimore county) a few years ago, a guy shot someone during a screening of X-Men. He had been planning it, not with a specific person, just a person. Some of these theaters have terrible security and the reality is I've been to theaters where clearly mentally impaired and possible homeless people have gotten into theaters. Typically, they find their way to theaters that are sparsely populated as Im sure the Signal theater probably was. I saw it on Saturday and there were four others besides myself and a friend there. I recall going to see American Werewolf in Paris (one could make the case I was the mental ill one) and there being only 2 or 3 people there, and one of them was a guy who kept screaming at himself and waving around some sort of object and eventually took off his pants. The theater chain itself was small and understaffed, and most of us were sitting close enough to the guy we werent sure what standing up and attempting to leave would do. Eventually I had people come in and remove him, but it wasnt particularly pretty. Nothing like two teen ushers out of their league telling some crazy-eyed guy to "put on your f**ing pants, right now".
As for The Signal, I can understand Quint's trying to push it. It really is a great horror movie, and Im pretty critical of the genre. I didnt even want to particularly see the film, but it's intense, intelligent, more than a little funny, seriously disturbing and actually original even though the premise makes it sound like that is the last thing it is. Im sure if this ever finds it audience, it will be a cult classic. And just because people arent seeing it doesnt mean it sucks(which seems like mira-jeff's point). I seem to recall another febuary release in 98 that all of 5 people saw. It was called Dark City and it rocked. Seriously, if you are a horror fan and this is playing nearby, see it. Don't get too hyped up. Just check it out. I think you will be more then pleasantly surprised. -
that last line is true about them pausing the movie while they did an investigation..... are you telling me people just sat in their seats for a few hours while they were IN a crime scene, and they are all still in the mood to keep watching the movie? i dont think so. surely any cinema would just hand out free tickets and send everyone home.
-
is that I hope this doesn't bring around another wave of 'we need to censor more horror because it is causing violent acts' bullshit and bring about yet another wave of PG-13 shitty horror movies because people look for an excuse to push their agenda on film because it makes them feel better. As i have said before I am a Christian, but I also believe a lot of christians are INO and just think that anything they don't like is "evil". I read some reviews on some christian movie review site and they don't like anything for any reason unless it's about Jesus. And they go particularly hard against horror even though they just can't understand the genre. I just really don't want to go back to the post-columbine crap we had to deal with after that.

Bring the Knife, leave the Wife!!!! The most blood you'll ever give watching a movie!!! 4 out of 5 stab wounds can't be wrong! Signals don't create Psychos, Psycho's make signals more creative... Just keep saying..
It's only a Signal, It's only a Signal, It's only a Signal -
Ah fuck it! Ha!
The trailers have been playing for the last month or two here in Dublin so I can only assume, we're getting a release. If that's the case, then it's good news for me. My cleaver's getting rusty... -

Yea, in some ways this isnt gonna do the movie any favors..
by jonah echo
Now people are expecting some sort of gonzo experience, but it really isnt. It is violent, but honestly it's relatively restrained. It also has something to say regarding violence and human interaction. Kloipy, as a christian who saw the film, I know where you are coming from regarding people complaining. I can understand their attacking certain films,but I think it's a waste of energy and time that could be focused on showing love and understaning. The main problem is they don't ever watch these things they just make blanket judgements. It's so bad I was recently reccomending the spiderwick chronicles to someone and they wanted to know if there was "evil magic" in it. Unless cgi is evil magic. There is actually some thoughtful stuff going on with The Signal, and it would be worth the discussion even for someone who thought it was valueless trash.
-
It opened on 160 screens and pulled in $135,000 over the weekend. $844 per screen. #31 overall
-
Did you happen to go to the 7PM showing at the Mann Chinese 6 last Friday? Because that's the one I went to, and there were only like 7 people there. Just thought it'd be cool if I caught the movie with you in the audience without even knowing it. BTW, I agree with Quint. I loved it!
-
Hire a Psychopath to Stab someone during a showing to increase ticket sales!!!!!! It's not like he can prove that you hired him... EZ MONEY :)
-
Hollywood loves em!
-
I dunno. I seen some young guys like myself react to the trailer in the cinema and I don't think it was negative. It could very well be dyer though. If we get it, then this cheese-eating surrender monkey will watch and give his two cents.

I know my friend. A lot of Christians seem to hate more than they love. It's like they don't understand their own religion. What makes me wonder is if they are so hateful towards movies like this then how do they let their children read the Bible? It has murder, incest, rape, and more in it's pages. And again I am a Christian but I just don't understand a lot of what it's followers do. The message of God is beautiful, but it gets miscontrued all the time
-
yes the country's top critics are decidedly mixed on The Signal, but I'm glad that me hating the movie has inspired some of you to go see it, just don't be mad at me when I say I told you so... there are other dissenting opinions in the talkback of Capone's review... listen, to each his own. i consider myself a big horror fan but my taste is pretty much the opposite of Harry and Quint's (i.e. on Leslie Vernon). I'd love to hear Mori weigh in on The Signal. It's a divisive film and there are moments of genius, but it's way too all over the place and I GUARANTEE it would've been a better film if there had been one singular vision, rather than three different directors that really impede the flow of the movie on the whole... you'll see.
-
doesn't make them real
-
I'd sure as hell like to see if The Signal is any good....or bad, its not playing anywhere around me
-
If this is real, obviously the guy was already batsh*t nuts and this apparent piece of drivel was merely a trigger. This is neither cool nor news.

With the infinite possibilities the universe holds it's a bit hard to take the idea of a God seriously. to subscribe to the idea of a God, we must also believe that we are special or at least capable of some greatness. But that cannot be since we can drop dead at any moment. To think of an afterlife is to feel secure and comforted; to soften the blow of mortality. I don't think it's a coincidence that we're the most self-conscious beings on this planet and we believe in something that makes dying acceptable. Cmon, Let's think practically. The only truth we know is the perceptual world. Everything else is hear-say. It's not that I don't respect your beliefs. I do. I admire your lack of cynicism. It's just, why would God place us in this existence if only to test us?
-
...clearly mentally impaired and possible homeless people have gotten into theaters..."
Oh, my! Possible homeless! In my theater!
I understand what you're saying, but is there some new rating out there? Maybe "rated H" for Home-owners? -
i bludgeoned a dude to death during a screening of there will be blood. it was completely the fault of the film.
-
Ask yourself why you pray. Is it because you genuinely love him? Or is it because you don't like the alternative? Bear in mind, God is apparently ever-knowing and I don't know about God but I'd hate someone paying lip-service to me just to save his/her ass.
Cmon' guys. An average joe would scoff at the idea of UFO's and werewolves, but he'll take the word of some guys who wrote a book 2000 years ago. Cmon'... -
It's not playing where I am. Seriously. I have friends, we can turn the numbers around. Somebody out there pull some strings and GET THIS BABY TO COLUMBUS PRONTO.
-
seriously..I kid
-
they're never there to watch the actual movie? The cell phone light is brighter than the screen.
-
people are gonna have a morbis interest into seeing this thing now...a bit like those who go to the Dark Knight out of curiousity abot Heath-but then again TDK is gonna rock the crap out of films like this....
Okay I admit I just wanted to bring up TDK....cos its gonna be fucking awesome. -
I love the ambiguity of phrases like that. . .it could be anything! Like, panda semen. Or bald eagle tears. Plutonium! Fucking so-called journalists...no more euphamisms! Say drugs! Fuck. I just want to know that it's safe to drink panda semen and watch me a scary movie. Dammit.
-
Did Evil Dead start the demon tentacle rape fascination, or just pay homage to it? I refuse to do any research.
-
Im not sure what your point is, but I wasnt being anti-homeless person. My point is that sometimes the people are in the theater because they are just trying to get somewhere, stay warm or hang out, whatever. I'm saying clearly a theater is the wrong place to do that. Most people, homeless or otherwise don't do that. Usually when it happens, there is something else wrong. That's not to say all homeless people are mentally ill, far from it. My point is not that mildly deranged people are paying for tickets and getting in. The dude without the pants, it was discovered, hadnt paid and had just wandered past the ushers. Surprise.
-
I don't know if you were trying to be humorous by linking a real tragedy into a stupid movie...whatever your intentions were, they missed the mark by quite a bit. SHow a little respect for two people who went out to have a good time, and ended up on the operating table because of some sicko. The irony is, you're using a real tragedy in a theater to try and sell tickets, when you spend every day focusing on the enjoyment of film. Where is the joy in getting stabbed at the movie theater? Please, tell me.
-
I'd trust Quint more than me too. Quint is omnipresent and all-knowing. I'm serious. The man is faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. And able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. We just didn't see eye to eye on The Signal. Not the end of the world. For what it is, The Signal's not bad. To its credit, it doesn't look or feel homemmade or low budget. But always be wary of sentences that start, for what it is, because my problem with The Signal is that it could've been so much more if the filmmakers had stuck to their guns and not gone the Shaun of the Dead route. Not everyone can pull off tongue-in-cheek. After a half-hour I thought the film was apocalyptic like 28 Days Later, and then it became a silly sitcom of violence and imagined events.
-
Seriously, I moved here 3 years ago from NYC and I am never surprised by this sh*t. Every night on the news some idiot thinks he can outrun the cops and there is a high speed chase for our viewing pleasure. Amber Alerts are as regular as stop signs and rice cakes have more substance and intelligence.
-
I've been wanting to see this movie since the dawn of man! Fucking living in shitty nothing state. This is becoming almost as bad as Nightwatch, at least I got to see that in theaters, don't feel like I'll be so lucky with the Signal. Good thing I can still catch The Eye though!
-
It finished 37th this weekend, only opened in 160 theaters taking in $905 per theater.
-
I saw this film a few weeks back and really dug it. The directors were there afterwards for a Q&A and some dude asked them about how they made the signal. They said something about how they did research on different video and sound frequencies and also ppsychotron resonance. It may b perfectly plausible to think they may have gone to far and it is actually affecting people
-
do the world a favor and go stab someone who paid to see the new Matthew McConaughey movie.
-
you know what i fucking hate? when a movie that is obviously invested in by AICN ("MARK MY WORDS. THIS HAS CULT CLASSIC WRITTEN ALL OVER IT." -- AINT IT COOL NEWS) doesn't perform well in its opening weekend so we get some semen-rectumed post a day or two later about how the movie totally rules and we should go see it. Blow me. I've said this before here and i am woefully sure this is not gonna be the last time, Cramming Something Down My Throat Does Not Make Me Want To Ask For More, It Makes Me Want To Puke.
-
while in a theater watching No Country for Old Men.
-
...at least the film-makers are getting a break out of it. Obviously their intention wasn't for anybody to get hurt. How many horror films have been released where nothing out of the ordinary happens?I'm just glad it didn't happen at a theatre showing DEFINITELY, MAYBE. I think I'll have to wait until DVD on this one, because there ain't no way on God's greens they'll be playing it here in theatres if it's such a limited run. Speaking of God (religion, particularly), I don't think that Christians are unique in their pre-occupation of focusing their energy on hate (of course, I would never say all religious people, but, let's face it, they exist.).
-
that was Cate Blanchett!
-
I think he did.
-
...Can we just mail em a cheque so we don't have to go down to see it? I'm sure they cant revoke their payola because no one went.

Sir, I've asked you politely to be quiet now say hello to Mr Slashy!
-
and the only thing I ever saw happen was two asian chicks get into a slap fight while watching Kiss of the Dragon. Good times.
-
it happened in 2for2true's 'hood and the people were stabbed with a #2 pencil in the mouth for being "shitheels", I tell you now the apocalypse is coming.
-
this saggy old excuse has been used thousands of times very, very unconvincingly-Just look at the wide variety of films that these despicable lowlifes try to blame: (all of these have been "linked" to crimes at some point) A Clockwork Orange, Natural Born Killers, Child's Play 3, Straw Dogs, Reservoir Dogs, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Old BoyWhat do these films have in common? nothing, not a damn thing. It is fatuous tripe to try to suggest that a film may in some way be responsible for depressing violent actions, when people try it they may as well be saying "a big boy did it and ran away" as what they are actually attempting to do is to blame Hollywood/ media for their actions (to quote noted sage Eric Cartman "These movies have warped my fragile little mind")and thereby somehow divert/ dilute blame. There are two things I'm mildly curious about. Firstly, if it had happened on London Underground and the guy flat out said "The tube drove me to do it" would the Right Wing papers be calling for a ban? and secondly, why are none of the films ever Torture Porn? Basically, all I am saying is that people have been treating each other like shit and murdering each other for millenia but cinema comes along in the 20th century so it must be the fault of cinema. Horseshit. People are evil, and the impetus for vicious actions come from inside. Society did not make you do it, the media did not make you do it- you did it because you have a head full of bad wiring.
-
Specially the Management who know fuck all about films, rating, runtimes or anything else!Went yesterday to see There will Be Blood and had an abortion of a time dealing with everyone from idiotic spotty ticket staff to calling the manager who was fat, rude and more interested in the consistency of her nail polish!
Great Film though! Day Lewis is Mental!!!
Some guiy in the audience brought a can of oil and when they struck black gold in the movie he stood up shouting ''I drink your Milkshake! and poured it all over himself then lit himself on fire! -
Viral makes me sick.
-
Name the movie, win a prize. Hint, came out in the late 70s, and think 'wet t-shirts'.
-
What I got at the last paragraph of Quint's wasn't "Bet you guys wish you'd saw it before that guy knifed some people!" but that he thinks the film will do better on DVD and people will kick themselves for not seeing it at the cinema. I think the last bit was just a push for the film rather than relating to the stabbing.
-
... both the writer of this flick and Stephen King ripped off the basic idea from an issue of Warren Ellis' Global Frequency. It's been done.
-
I remember reading somewhere about the spate of copycat crucifictions carried out by a deranged member of the audience at Christ's crucifiction about 2000ish years ago
-
Just thought the line was humorous :)
-
"wow this movie is so bad I gotta stabby stabby."
"well the director and the screenwriter are over there." -

The movie Wall Street made me to invest in the stock market!
by billypilgrim
Lost my shorts! Damn Hollywood! Now I'm forced to wander pantless in movie theaters.
-
I know that there are a lot of people who don't believe in God. I was one of them for a long time. I studied a bunch of different religions and found a lot of good in them, but it came down to what I found in the Bible to be what my soul was drawn to. The universe is so vast and our understanding is just that. Our understanding, doesn't make it concrete or true. I've never seen another galaxy but I believe it is there. I'm not saying Christianity is right for everyone but it is for me. I don't pray because I am only afraid of God's wrath, I pray to get closer to Him and to find an understanding of life as best I can be given. I have had too many miracles in my life that aren't just coincidence. For me, life is just too complex and wonderful that I can't believe it just came together by itself. I don't have the answer, but I have felt the presence of something much greater than I am and I just feel in my heart that it is true. But like I said to each his own. I think Christians have a stigma because of the followers not the message. It's all about, as Jesus taught, acceptance of everyone, because none of us are greater than anyone else
-
shot an olympic cyclist. They sentenced me to life in prison, but I started a riot and escaped.
-
Space.com or any NASA site has plenty pics of galaxies and other great stuff...you should check them out. Seeing is believing OoOoOo
-
it's just pictures, I didn't take them so how do I know they are real? Some people don't believe the moon landing was real, doesn't mean that it was fake either
-
how about this..go buy a 8" tele or some bad ass binos and look in the sky. It might not be as pretty as in pictures but those galaxies are still there..Andromeda is freaking awesome to look at.
-
even better
-
dude, I'm not gonna sit here and argue about the stars. I know they are real, I'm not a fucking idiot. But I'm just trying to prove a point. Were you there when they landed on the moon? Were you at the horsehead nebula to take a picture of it? I wasn't, but that doesn't mean just because I wasn't doesn't mean I don't believe it is. I've never been to Saturn but I know it's there. Just because I can't see God doesn't mean I haven't seen His works
-
I'm not trying to argue man..just replying to one of your points. I definitely get what you are saying. Only thing is..you can SEE saturn with the naked eye..and well nevermind, lets dont have this conversation..its so cliche. I see your point and I am happy for you.
-
yes I'm also tired of this conversation as well.
-
nad I avoid it like the plaugue. For some reason, this theater always attracks the gangbangers and crazies.
-
Stop spamming the boards with your faggotry!

I had to come back and say: I hope that you religeonists are happy, well-adjusted people that are confident and believe in your god because you have studied theology thoroughly and chose to live by the 'guidelines' presented by the Christian 'commandments' because they suit your personal lifestyle. I also hope that you are the kind of people that keep that info to yourself and don't wish to 'spread the word' by soliciting everyone you communicate with. (It is to those that I am just giving their rant right back. To all others, my apologies.) I, obviously, have a big problem with religeon. Not spirituality (transcendant thought and actions), mind you. The righteous, bigot-hiding-behind-God, ignorant, socially-inept whiners who just can't believe in themselves and need a crutch that, in their perception, is bigger than any person, so they can feel good about themselves. I have my own reasons for believeing what I do, too. I've studied enough of theology to know that I don't need it. I know that I do more good for the world than just about every religeous zealot I've ever met. I know that gods are more illusionary than planets and stars (I used to work at an obsevatory as a youth). I know that the laws of science are more sensible than the ramblings of ancient texts (and are also prone to revisions when actual revelations are made and proofs are, well, proven. Unlike prophetic fiction that is taken de facto, and still has to be interpreted. I want to learn this 'God math' to quantitatively prove that these gods exist and we all exist because of them. Like the letter of the law, the burden of proof is for you to prove it, not for me to disprove it.). And, as far as I know, no wars have been fought because of differeing scientific views (though more than a few have died from believeing in science, instead of the religeon-of-the-day.). I believe in showing my views by example (like helping where I can, being kind, understanding, and compassionate for others regardless of race, religeon, or style)I'm not saying that people like Jesus and Mohammed, etc. didn't exist. I'm sure that they did, and made an impact on the people of their time because they had the cajones to educate people on the pros of treating others with respect and dignity and cons of hurting others. Unfortunately, the message seems to have evaporated and replaced with eliteism.Again, I apologize to those that have the sense to use reason and fact to make the decisions for their own lives, and spare us from illogical drivel. Hey, I like to read, but I don't take any literature that makes some sense and worship it like it is the last word (including science texts), and then kill those that don't believe like I do. Thank you for your time. Hijack fin.
-
I take it you didn't take the time to read my posts about it. So thanks for judging me based on ignorance
-
....and if I could control MY homicidal urges during THAT movie, then the Signal Stabber really has no excuse.
In all seriousness, I've lived in Fullerton. It's nowhere NEAR as bad as this isolated incident would have you believe. Fullerton is an oasis of relative calm in the otherwise AWFUL place known as Orange County. -
I never will
-
I agree Fullerton didn't look like a bad place where shit like that goes down, my band has played in the area a couple times. But if anything this is proof that shit like this can happen anytime, anywhere. One time I was at Arclight in Hollywood watching a 21+ showing of Beerfest and this dude walks in double fisting a couple cocktails. He looked like he got the party started about 32 hours prior and was probably homeless. First thing he does is chug one glass and says "FUCK THIS SHIT!!" to the screen. Then he throws up all over his lap and his seat. This unfortunate turn of events prompts him to, no shit, pull his pants down and jerk off (while crying). Nobody came in to fucking stop this guy, pretty much everyone who was there just moved as far back in the theater as they could be from this asshole, or simply left. I mean, truth be told, if I worked at the Arclight, I wouldn't want to fucking go near some random, drunk, half naked homeless guy who's beating off and crying while covered in vomit. I don't give a shit how many people are bothered by it. Fuck it, I'd just quit my job and go far, far away from that place. I still have trouble going into the 21 and over screen there.
-
Taken some hits on this TB. You don't like it, that's cool. Get out when you can. More space for me.:)
-
Really haven't followed your reviews or articles - but I totally agree with you on 'The Signal'. I saw it at Sundance and thought it was trash. Just really amateurish and cheap. As an added bonus, we got to meet the three filmmakers, who were arrogant and glib with their answers to serious questions. AVOID (or waste money).
-
you're an idiot. there is nothing trash about this film. hats off to these filmmakers for trying to do something different with this genre. for the most part they got it right. yeah, thee are some flaws, but GD if they didn't do a hell of a lot for no money. i met the filmmakers as well, they were humble and very appreciative.
-
It's a shitty existance when someone you love passes away. I lost my dad last year and it's painful to have the conflict of wanting to talk to him but understanding the futility because he's no longer there and he hasn't moved on to another plane of existance or afterlife. I wasn't brought up to believe in God or religion but I know one thing for sure, I am envious of those people who do because they have something I don't and that's their own innner comfort that when the worst happens they have someone to talk to and faith that there is something after this life. I can't force myself to have faith and I certainly wouldn't criticise or belittle someone who has. The paradox is that I have faith in mankind's ability to evolve and create. I've seen faraway planets through my telescope and witnessed natural occurances that leave you in awe, solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, meteor showers etc. But for some, unknown reason I haven't enough faith within me to believe in God or an afterlife. Good luck to all you people with religious and spiritual beliefs I'm sure you'll have the last laugh.
