The true meaning of evil

Yes it goes on and on my friend!

Some people started singing it not knowing that it was,

And they'll continue singing it forever just because...

Recently I had a conversation in passing about religion. I mentioned my lack of it. I've had this sort of conversation before. Unfortunately, I never get asked the question I want to get asked. The question that I think would explain my views on religion and my personality in one nice round package.

"What would it take to make you believe there's a God?"

I know that a true believer wouldn't ask that question because the point of faith isn't what you get out of it. But I wish someone would ask me anyway.

I imagine the conversation would go much like this:

Believer: What would it take to make you believe there's a God?
Rashaka: Easy. It would take one well-written, gush-worthy, exciting multichapter Firefly/Cowboy Bebop crossover, with a minimum of 100,000 words, using all major characters, with implied Spike/Faye, Mal/Inara, and Simon/Kaylee, and basically being one of the best action/adventure/drama fics I'd ever read.
Believer: That's it?
Rashaka: No. The upcoming Ender's Game movie would be the most kick-ass film ever. It would blow away all my expectations, break my heart, capture the spirit of the novel, and be perfectly cast, directed, and written. And not kiddified in the least.
Believer: That's it?
Rashaka: No. The Dark Tower novels would get the same exact treatment, with Hugh Jackman cast as Roland of Gilead.
Believer: Anything else?
Rashaka: Full Metal Alchemist would be made into a live-action English-speaking tv show, funded by HBO, and perfectly cast and perfectly directed and it would win every Emmy out there and be the biggest television success in history.
Believer: Done yet?
Rashaka: Not at all. The Hitchhiker's Guide film would be remade and it would not suck. Everything would be different, except the actors for Ford and Arthur. They'd be in the remake because they were awesome.
Believer: That's never going to happen.
Rashaka: Yeah, I know. Sad, isn't it?
Believer: God works in small miracles. You have unrealistic expectations.
Rashaka: God is an unrealistic expectation.
Believer: I agree. That's the whole point. Though we like the term "superrealistic," or even better, "divine."
Rashaka: I still think I'll pass.
Believer: ...
Rashaka: ...
Believer: ...
Rashaka: The Ender's Game movie is doomed, isn't it?
Believer: Probably.
Rashaka: Damn.

I'm thinking of re-applying to campfuckudie. But it's so big now, with so many posts, and I don't know a lot of the characters... it's gotten significantly intimidating for a newcomer.

Also, I haven't followed the RPG for about a month now, and I have no idea what's going on. Would that be a problem?

I'm still thinking of applying with Scieszka from FMA (I was going to have her lj name be "slothisanalien", but I'm now thinking "reads_a_lot" might be better). Someone's already done Rock Lee, who was my other choice. Lust from FMA would be fun too... except she's an adult, so that won't work.

I could be Luna Lovegood from HP, but I'm not very good at remembering spells and names of things and stuff from HP canon, so that might be hard.

Who else, who else?

EDIT: apparently they do sometimes do applications for counselors-- adult characters. So I could do Lust. I guess her job would be...

possible instructor ideas:

- supplies & weapons seller/manager
- arts & crafts
- game keeper/animal advisor
- music appreciation/ camp song leader
- Camp Rule Enforcement / Cabin Inspections / keeper of those put in time-out corner
- technician/ handyman
- Citizenship classes (low-key social studies)
- Swimming
- Orienteering
- Archery/Rifling
- Rafting
- Wilderness Survival
- Wood Shop/Work/Totemchip
- Environmental Science
- Cooking
- Gardener
