Godspell
Expletive. Something so deluded with platitudes and presuppositionalism as to be entirely void of coherency and purpose. To be used in frustration when encountering popular media that was so clearly pandering to a lower denominator as to be insulting to the viewer's intelligence. Can be extended to include any adaptation that requires full knowledge of the source material to make any sense. Referencing the 1971 catastrophe, in which Christian apologism, hippy love, pop culture, and worship rock united in a singularity of unparalleled intellectual masturbation. Has possibly been appropriated by those too weak to resist as a banner of compartmentalized conviction.
