Anti-Christian Movie

[Anonymous]

O Boy, Satan is really having a ball isn't he? So much fun for him to get a stab at mockin' God and his children.

It is sad to see our youth getting caught up in seeing this stuff. Wouldn't be wonderful if Hollywood would see the value (spiritually as well as in dollars) in making films that are healthy and God-based on a serious side?

Ho hum... wishful thinkin'

This movie is a total abomination to God. What is sad is, there are actually people who believe that God has lead them to try to convert a homosexual and so they believe that having a relationship with them is ok to do based on that deception.

This movie definately comes from the pits of hell itself.

When we hear someone preaching something not of God, we may get angry, then we tend to forget it for the most part. But when we SEE something, such as a movie, I think it tends to burn that image in our brains. We are less likely to forget it I think. That's why I think this movie, along with the DiVince Code, is very very dangerous and should not be viewed by true Christians. I'm curious to see what type of poison they are spreading but then again, I don't want these images burned in my brain so I think I'll protect myself and stay home.

Dear BPC,

I don't think a true Christian would be swayed by this type of thing. I think the marginal Christians and the abject unsaved would be more influenced by it.

But I do agree with you, I wouldn't waste my time seeing it either. It is a shame.

Just another sign of the times.

Like the author of the article (Falwell, I believe), I have also seen the trailer for this movie. I think that it does appear to make fun of Christians, and it seems the Christian characters in this movie are cast in a terribly bad light. I think that people such as Falwell, should see certain movies, like this one, in their entirety before writing up articles about them. It's just that sometimes it is hard to tell what a movie is truly like just by seeing a trailer. An argument against such a movie would be more convincing if the writer had actually seen the movie already.

Thank you for your voice of reason Rachel. I will admit that I don't know anything about this film as of yet, and have not seen the trailer. But I have read quite a bit about Mandy Moore (my daughter is a big fan), and I find it difficult to believe that she would be a part of something overtly anti-Christian. As is often the case, the trailer may totally misrepresent what is actually portrayed in the film. To just completely condemn the film without even one comment from someone that has seen the entire film is very unfair.

Scot,

You know I have the greatest respect for you so please don't take any offense here..but the thought came to my mind that I don't need to see a porn film to know it's garbage. The stench is sufficient to keep me away.

If I got a whiff of the trailers of the movie, the odor of it would be enough to drive me way back....

Same thing happened with, "Last Temptation of Christ"...I saw just the previews and had to hold my nose.

Okay, I found the trailer and watched it. IMO, it is quite obvious that the most offensive quotes are taken out of the actual context of the movie, something that is quite common in films these days. It's quite possible that the marketing people decided they would get more people to pay to see the movie if they spun the advertising this way. The movie is about a Christian school and the good and bad choices that the teens make. It could very well turn out to be as bad as the trailer, but conversely it could very well accurately portray the real consequences of these bad choices. Without hearing from someone that has seen the entire movie, I just think it's prudent to withhold judgement. http://www.pluggedinonline.com/movies/ is a very good source for movie reviews, so I'll be watching the site after the movie is released.

And no, of course no offense taken Cats! I value your opinion.
