Harr... OK, who's best:
Sigmund Freud or Ricki Lake (they've both done some pretty in-depth and unpleasant inquiries into the human (and white trash) psyche...)
Monty Python or Married with Children?
J.S. Bach or Yanni (Did you hear "live at the Acropolis"? That was pretty good... I think this one's a tie...)
Kafka or Barbara Walters (it's a fair comparison - they've both published books)
Pelé or Alan Shearer - just to tick off Sir Stiving...
Do you see a pattern? This is the new and improved Rorshack compatibility test... where we ask questions so moroniously obvious that you think it's a trick question, and like the ass betwixt the haystacks, you suffer a slow and painful death.
Liv Tyler should be banned from every movie studio in the world for life. A restraining order from all living directors is not a bad idea either. Apart from that, movie was good. Viggo Mortensen's voice is a bit too squeaky for my picture of Aragorn, but he does his job as best he knows how. Sean Bean was best. Boromirs death was the definitive pinnacle of the movie.
Harry Potter (ptui!)...
Nidhgrin: that first reply of yours was hilarious.
Sir Dunco: Good to have you back. Shall we start bashing each other soon?

This is a joke right? I actually thought she was a gorgeous elf, can't remember much of her dialogs though...

My opinion is...
Harry Potter is better as film, but Lord of the Rings is better as book.
Harry Potter is just a tale that is interesting to read when you have lots of free time and no PC with Heroes nearby... 
While LotR is a philosophic book I think. However, I didn't like the film. I hope the second part that is coming soon will change my opinion.

Sigmund Freud or Ricki Lake - Freud at least he wrote about it and not put up some useless TV program about little more than gossip
Monty Python or Married with Children? - I assume married is a comedy? Python rocks! You cannot beat the Life of Brian and the dead parrot sketch simple as that!
J.S. Bach or Yanni - No idea, who's Yanni? If he's some sort of musician dunno but JS Bach wrote music inspired by or for the church so that's a big no-no. Queen beats Bach any day in my book
Kafka or Barbara Walters - No idea sorry
Pelé or Alan Shearer - no comparison. How many world cup winning medals does shearer have? Pele has 3 to my knowledge, seperated by 12 years. He simply is in a different league

You should read Kafka man! Most of his writing is not really easily digestible. This doesn't make his work any less good though. If you like absurdism, nihilism, ... you should try one of his books once.

that's fun :)
LotR or Harry Potthead - hmmm... let me think... kid wizard vs Elves and Istari... yep, i'll go with LotR...
Sigmund Freud or Ricki Lake - Ricki who?
Monty Python or Married with Children - Monty Python any day... a closer match would be MP vs Mel Brooks
J.S. Bach or Yanni - Yanni of course!!! (no, not because he is Greek) ...as ph said, Bach created music for the church... Yanni(s) creates music for himself...
Kafka or Barbara Walters - Kafka... can't remember who B. Walters is...
Pele or Alan Shearer - unable to compare... though not a fan of football (soccer) I think that Pele wouldn't fit in today's gameplay...

Serious Clarification:
My comparisons were made as a joke to underscore the ridiculity of the name of the thread. It was not meant for people to take seriously and start answering.
And another thing: If you guys refuse to read, listen to, watch or in any way have anything to do with artists or works made in a religious context (or is it just christian), you're gonna miss out on a lot.
Tolkien, for instance, was a catholic, and ardent as well, and his whole universe is built in strict relation to the christian world view.
And I ask you; what is more applaudable: A man who makes music for himself, or a man who makes music for someone else?
And oh, I'm a christian, so Gandhi is a big no-no for me. And Buddha too. Don't even mention Asimov or Sagan!!! Boo-hoo!
I suppose you don't celebrate christmas, or take holidays for easter.
Think well

I think all religions deserve a chance as long as their ideas are not extreme or hurting anyone. You're christian, good for you. I was raised as a catholic, but discovered that buddhism has more to offer to me and that it matches better with my personal view on life. Thus, I've been a buddhist for over 5 years now. I don't think this will ever change again.
I'm asking you what is wrong with Buddha and Ghandi? They were both enlightened people who supported non-violence and a caring way of life. If you look at early christianity (in fact at most if not all young religions) you see those same issues coming back there. How can you possibly be against that if you're a real christian (the cristianity not polluted by misinterpretations by the church authority but the original ideas)? Or am I completely missing the point here and you were just kidding?

I don't think that is what ph had in mind and I know it isn't what I had in mine... I don't like any form of art that serves a religious or a political dogma...

true... but that is just because he probably didn't want to get too far from things he knew since childhood, he didn't make it to "advertise" christian theology
Quote:

depending on what you mean by "for someone else"

relax man... I am not a member of the Inquisition (in fact I hated them) ...never judged anybody by his/her religion... only actions matter

SARCASM! IRONY! JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think about it... if I correct someone for shunning something because of it's religious context, would I be doing the very selfsame thing in the next sentence??? NO!!!!!!!
I am a big fan of parts of Ghandi's philosophy, and Buddha's as well, because I'm not some narrow-minded, bible-thumping fanatic.
Lith Still, I don't get it. I think you can listen to Bach (in fact I know many "infidels" who do) without being brainwashed into being a christian. His music is the greatest man has yet produced (this is not my personal opinion, but in matters of complexity, polyphony (correct term? When each part play an equally important role, and carry meaning and substance in itself, and not only as a background for a melody), structure and MIM (messages in music, some people (with little time on their hands!) have found out that he made a language out of notes and that several of his instrumental works still carry explicit meaning), there is none greater, and his music also appeals to people who are totally unfamiliar with western music and it's systems, like (some?) Balinese people), and if you refuse to give it a chance because of who he wrote it for, well, you just ain't very clever.
And depends on who someone is?? That's a load of humus. Think about it. It's better to make music for yourself than for some people, but not for others?? Yeah, great, whatever.
Take SARCASM! IRONY! JOKES! well
