That might just be the dumbest thing you've ever posted BRTD.

Every time I think he can't post anything any dumber he goes and surprises me like this.

The movie implies that Vince and Jules were saved and given a second chance by God. Jules takes it as a sign to turn his life around and redeem himself like what he does at the diner. Vince doesn't, and then he pays the penalty for it. Butch's story also has a theme of redemption of forgiveness.

It also had this scene. If you believe this was a Christian propaganda piece then you're reading way too much into it. Sure, you might get a bit of a religious message out of it, but the message isn't blatant enough to be considered propaganda.

How is that scene related to religion in any way?

That's my point, it isn't. It's completely unrelated to religion. If this really was a Christian propaganda piece as you claim then why would such an unrelated scene exist in it?

Interesting how over 30% agree with "the dumbest thing I've ever posted"...

We've already established that you aren't the only idiot on the forum - there's nothing interesting about other idiots agreeing with you.

Pulp Fiction does a way better job of this than any crap like Veggietales or The 700 Club or other stuff that people DO cite as "Christian propaganda". That stuff makes me embarrassed to be a Christian.

1. Veggietales is for children, don't be stupid enough to compare it to something aimed adults.
2. If it did do better in that regard, it just makes those other things poorly executed propaganda and does not make it propaganda.
3. You're hardly a model Christian. If you need a reason, I'll pull a jmfcst on ya...

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
--1 Peter 2:11
