wes: I'm sure you meant to say, "JUST LOOK AT THE STATE OF OUR WORLD TODAY AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE "AN EYE FOR AN EYE" HAS GOTTEN US SO FAR.

"Live and Let Live" hasn't caused as nearly as much trouble as the above quote... from the bible.

I respect the religious beliefes of ALL of the posters in this thread. That's because I live in the United States of America, a country that gives "freedom of religion" to everyone. It doesn't just protect the beliefs of christianity. To feel an artistic creation, such as a film, should be boycotted simply because it's beliefs might be contrary to your own is in direct opposition to the constitutional protection that allows you to worship as you see fit.

Chronicles of Narnia.. a thinly veiled christian message released at Christmas time with talking animals, targeted at children.

Golden Compass... a thinly veiled atheist message released at Christmas with talking animals, targeted at children

It's the same identical formula that is actually just trying to make money. It's not subversive, it's capitalism. If you don't want to see the film because of it's message, don't go. That's a choice we should all make for ourselves, not tell others not to do something because we personally believe it's wrong.

If you believe in the christian God, then you know he gave each individual free will. Don't you think he wants us to use it?

BTW, I am a christian too, and I still beilieve people ahould choose for themselves.
