Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain

Derived from "The Wizard of Oz," while in the movie, the phrase is intended to mean "don't pay any attention to the wizard not being real," it has evolved into a more literal and deeper phrase in modern times.
The fundamental moral lesson of the "Wizard of Oz" is that you MUST follow, follow, follow the "yellow bricked road" to success with your friends who have no brains, no hearts and no courage. Follow the "yellow bricked road to success (the Emerald City) no matter the cost." The Emerald City representing "utopia" or an oasis like (based in illusion) paradise. Follow the road no matter what to the "Emerald City" and when you ultimately realize your entire journey has been for naught, for a lie, for a fake made up imaginary oasis, you are to remember most importantly of all to ""pay no attention to that man behind the curtain"" or "remember to forget that it's all been for a lie."

In the new movie 'Wicked' the entire plot relies on you following your programming and always remembering to forget that the Emerald City has always been fake, the wizard has never been real. Thus, the entirety of the plot is based on a lie and falls apart RAPIDLY if you don't remember to forget.

Religion I can get behind

Do you even hear yourself?
Sam Sedar "Now that's a Religion I can get behind! You know? Where God... Wants the things I want... And values the things I value... Like me and God have the same thoughts and desires... That's a religion I can get behind! And no one should be allowed to have more political power than me either."

Hym "You... You see how that is the exact thing I said about atheist shit-libs who split hairs on religion, right? Like, you want you to be the God.... And that's when you're fine with it. Solipsistic narcissism."

Sam Sedar "Right but if the religion was me it would be good."

Hym "Right, see, THIS is why I just murder God. That exact line of reasoning is exactly why I needs to die."
