9. What poem does Loki mention in the beginning of the movie?
From Quiz Dogma
Answer:
The Walrus and the Carpenter
'Now that poem, the 'Walrus and the Carpenter'? That's an inditment of organized religion. The walrus with his girth and good nature, he obviously represents either Buddha or with his tusks, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha. That takes care of your eastern religions. Now the carpenter, who is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was raised a carpenter's son. He represents the western religions. Now in the poem, what do they do? What do they do? They dupe all these oysters into following them and proceed to shuck and devour the helpless creatures en masse. Now I don't know what it says to you, but to me it says that following these faiths based on mythological figures insures the destruction of one's inner being. Organized religion destroys who we are by inhibiting our actions, by inhibiting our decisions, out of fear of some intangible parent figure who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago, and says do it or, or I'll ... spank you!'
