Movies are a sensitive topic. It is interesting because it is essentially an artform and an artform is an expression. Whenever there is a movie out that is considered "evil", "blasphemous" or "attacking christianity" all you hear is whinge, whinge, whinge. Where does the whinging come from? It happens every single time - take Evan Almighty. Some labelled it "blasphemous" because they depicted God in a man's body. I don't know how that is blasphemous when God Himself became a man, lived for 33 years and spent the last three years of His life trying to wake up people from their spiritual slumber. When we have movies like the Golden Compass which is assumed contraversional on it's topics the producers love it when people get irate about it because it's free press. So all those whinging Christians who say that this is just another attack you are promoting the film every time you mention it's name. Why don't we step outside of the box, go see the film and make your own judgement. If you even know someone who doesn't know God themself and wants to see the film, take them along and explain to them the very aspects of the spirit world - use the movie as a tool instead of whinging every time about something not being agreeable. And when movies do come out about people with faith SUPPORT IT! Ie - Amazing Grace, Evan Almighty, The Ten Commandments. Christians need to stop whinging but sadly I see it everyday.
