Thesis Facts
Let’s make a list shall we?
Possible Thesis:
Kevin Smith portrayed the significant characters as women to inspire and show his own creativity and open-mindness toward the ideas of religion.
Dogma:
*God is a woman (Alanis Morisette)
*Doesn’t appear in the film until the end. She was trapped in a man’s body (ironic) due to a near fatal beating. She inhabited the body to take a vacation from Heaven to play skeeball at a boardwalk in Jersey.
*Does not speak because the voice of God can kill a mortal.
*Has a goofball personality and is shown doing cartwheels and headstands and giggles.
The Last Scion:
*Last decendant of Jesus Christ. Quote from 13th apostle says that she is the “great, great……….grand niece of Jesus.”
*She works at an abortion clinic and is unable to have children herself.
*Has been chosen because of her heritage to stop the renegade angels from getting back into heaven.
*Her name is Bethany….similar to Bethlahem.
*The Da Vinci Code makes reference to the last Scion.
The Muse:
*Created for the movie to have an origin for the inspiration of the story of the Bible.
*The Muse actually comes from Greek Mythology.
*Portrayed as a stripper with writers block.
The Bible:
*Depicts significant people as white males.
*Dogma is based on Catholocism which uses the New Testament alot because they are responsible for writing it.
*Many passages in the Bible are taken out of context or taken literally by many religions, not just Catholics, when many of those passages are metaphorical.
*The Bible has been translated more than 2, 000 times.
*(ooooh I just found a cool website with lots of stuff on it about interpreting scripture!!! Too many things to list…..)
And those are my facts.
