Good movie - beware of the christians!


The christians will never say that they hate the movie because it insults their church and religion. They know this would just draw more audience to it. So they say it's "boring".

Well, it's not. It's a good movie and I liked it a lot.

You will get a lot of angry replies on that. I, however, am not going to comment. I'm a Jew, so thats kinda irrevlant to me.

Angry replies? nah mate thats the muslim way of dealing with things these days or so it seems(that is a joke by the way).
As a christian myself,i personaly thought it was ok,but got pretty boring to be honest.Its kind of like a early version of the davinci code,which again i thought really bad,i dont care if people have a go at christians its up to them,but i just did not like this film myself.

From what I saw of this, the plot works better than the Da Vinci Code because it is not as historically inept.

I'm a Christian myself and I'm highly critical of the organised church. Whichever way you cut it... by coming out on top, Christianity has become a very different animal to the model of the early Church.

I'd say you just proved the OP's point in full.

I enjoyed it, bit over the top in some parts, but more realistic than the Da Vici crap.

I don't think the movie was boring; badly made maybe, but I've watched it several times. It seems kind of "chopped up" and seem to have a few plot holes, but I find it entertaining.
Why would you have to "beware of Christians"? I don't find it threatening to my faith in the least.
Which brings to mind the question: why is it "ok" to insult and demean Christians, and the Christian faith, and not to mention Jesus Christ Himself; but WHOA NELLY you tell a joke that mentions Mohammed in a bad light, and you've got some maniac ready to blow you into a pulp.
I don't think you have anything to worry about from Christians. Now shria law, you need to worry about. You think Christians are bad, look what's goin on in the other parts of the world where Christians are being massacred, where's the outcry? Where's the UN?
Curiously, no mention.

Refusal to believe does not negate the truth.

Isn't this the kind of movie that Christians are more likely to agree with? It's in their thought processes that if the body of Christ was found like that that the world would destroy itself, when it wouldn't. Absolutely NOTHING would happen! Religious would deny the evidence against their religion as they always do, and educated people would go "That's interesting".
