    Religous/ Borderline blasphemous comedies are not everybody's cup of tea. Thank God I'm not everybody. Jay and Silent Bob find the last descendant of Jesus and have to save God from Satan and two renegade angels. Works for me.

    Dogma is firmly rooted in Kevin Smith's View Askew world so fans of his other films will not be disappointed. However, it also expands on the direction he took in Chasing Amy by dealing with subject matter and concepts that are personal and thought provoking. Dogma goes beyond th... ...( read more )

    Bethany: You were martyred?
    Rufus: That's one way of putting it. Another way of putting it would be to say that I was bludgeoned to death by huge fucking rocks.

    An ensemble that works wonders with sharp dialogue, social commentary and a handful of comic situations to keep you well entertained as the religious satire rolls off the tongue. The thing that I love about this film is how it doesn't pretend to fit into any category-it was simpl... ...( read more )

    Here some Nasty and Funny Quotes

    Jay: Yo man, tell me something about me.
    Rufus: You masturbate more than anyone on the planet.
    Jay: Aw fuck, everyone knows that. Tell me something nobody knows.
    Rufus: When you do it, you're thinking about guys.
    [a shocked Silent Bob stares at Jay]
    Jay: Dude, not all the time.


    Jay: So what's up? You got a friend for Silent Bob, or are you just gonna do us both? If so, I'm first. I hate sloppy seconds.


    Bethany: You're a man of principle.


    Metatron: Tell a person that you're the Metatron and they stare at you blankly. Mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly everybody is a theology scholar.


    Bethany: You knew Jesus?

    Rufus: Knew him? Shit... Nigga owes me twelve bucks.
