Do Christians have an issue with this movie?


I am just curious, I am a Christian and I personally don't. Morgan Freeman's character administers occasional tough love in this movie by showing people the error of their ways, encourages repentance, has a demeanor of gentle wisdom and humor throughout for the most part, and comes through in the end for his people when he has to. His behavior and demeanor was generally consistent with God other than appearing in literal human form and allowing himself to be seen literally other than Jesus' time, and of course granting excessive power to any human. But I understand the point of the story was to show that running the universe is a complex task and that humans shouldn't complain to much. Just curious how other Christians felt about it.

I'm Roman Catholic, still practicing and such and I'm not offended by it at all. I find the film absolutely hilarious and it definitely ranks high on my list of comedy films!

I'd say the anti-relgionists have a bigger issue with this movie
