The World's Greatest Sinner is a 1962 B&W independent film written, directed, produced by, and starring cult actor Timothy Careynote Best known for playing a cowardly soldier in Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory.Frustrated Insurance Salesman Clarence Hilliard, a simple man with a vision: That every man is a God, capable of Immortality. Starting as something of a crazy guy screaming on the street, he slowly amasses followers, becoming a sort of Rock Star, then a Corrupt Politician (The latter with the help of a shadowy political operator who may or may not be Satan), becoming increasingly unhinged in the process. And he seemed so normal, y'know?A strange, shambling, murky (Both literally and figuratively) Satire, the film has nevertheless attracted a small Cult Following, including Martin Scorsese and Eddie Muller, the latter calling it "The Room (2003) of the 60's." Also noteworthy for a score by a pre-Mothers of Invention Frank Zappa, who described it as "The world's worst movie."

Gainax Ending: At a low point, Hilliard steals hosts from a local church and pricks them with a pin to see if they'll bleed. At first nothing happens, convincing Hilliard that there is no God. Then the hosts generate some sort of slime trail for Hilliard to follow back, and then radiate white light as the film smashes to black.

Immortality: The ultimate goal of the Eternal Man's Party. Whether this is going to be accomplished via Technological means or Clap Your Hands If You Believe is never properly established.

A God Am I: Hilliard's entire platform is that man is the only true Divinity, to the point of renaming himself "God Hilliard."
