I've watched the first part, and so far, and I found it very upsetting. Why is it that whenever I see a film with christians in it, they're alwyas presented as ignorant bigots who have no right to claim Christ as their savior. Just once can I see a hollywood film where Christians actually act like Christians, or atleast a film where one can be a believer and also be intelligent.

Hollywood does stuff that sells and that sells

because the most loudest christians are ignorant bigots....its kinda of a sterotype but most sterotypes have a bit of truth in them

lol that's too bad.
But still, you should really understand that Christianity is the most popular religion in the country and the world. It still rules the country and pretty much the world.
just saying. This movie seems really dumb when you think of it that way.

Perhaps because there are quite a few Christian bigots out there? Gay rights anyone? And besides, you put in a movie about frigging vampires. Were you looking for a spiritual film? LOL

The christians in the film were meant to be creeps because
They thought there were evil creatures out there to get them
But it turned out to be true so why are they the jerks?

Not all Christians are extreme bigots but there are definitely a lot of them. Thanks for stating what so many Christians refuse to admit and that's that they smile at you and talk the most vile hate the second you walk out the door. I have extended family in Mississippi and it blows me away whenever I see them. Grin at you from ear to ear with one hand on the bible and the other grabbing a shotgun to shoot you in the back. It's really very sad. And that's how they treat family. You would die if you heard how they treat people they see as different from their supposed godly way of living.

Now here is the kicker so lets pay attention. If you are sitting here with a straight face trying to tell us all that Christians do not attempt to impose their beliefs on others then you are straight lying. You know it and everyone reading this knows it. That is why this country spent so much effort laying out its separation of church and state stance. But throughout history and even today non-believers have to fight tooth and nail to maintain it. If you are not honest enough to admit this then it is impossible to have an intelligent conversation with you. You should go to your corner and pretend to still not understand why some people lash out at Christians

what about muslims and jews don't they believe the same stuff

In most films you watch, most of the characters are Christians. If the ignorant bigots seem more Christian to you than the nice ones, maybe the problem is with how you view Christians, rather than with Hollywood.

I appreciate that it's your view that christians should be portrayed as loving, kind, giving beings, but, I am here to tell you, most people's experience with religious people is that they believe what they believe, and in no way does it make them a "better" person, though they themselves truly believe they are BETTER people, therefore, if 9 out of 10 times a religious person is portrayed as a self-centered, judgmental, selectively "caring", cheater, thief, evil person etc etc, this aligns closer to reality than your idea of religious people . Yes, teachings usually sound all warm and fuzzy, but actions are what count, and providing blankets and warm soup to people while you preach your brand of religion to people only goes so far when trying to promote an image. It's simple mathematics. If most people believe in a higher being, then most people who commit crimes against others and nature are by default, believers. So, most "bad" people claim to be religious. As tough as that may seem to accept, it's simple statistics, and there's no lying in mathematics.

I will say this, I was kind of glad they were making fun of them in the movie. I am not anti God or anything, But this is how I see it...
People today (And in movies) seem to be making fun of Christians and make them into stereotypes not just because there are some people like that in real life
But because The way I See it is that people are tired and fed up with Christians acting like victims all the time. Christianity rules the country. It is the biggest religion. And it has ruled this place for the last 100 years or more.
hundreds of years ago you would probably die if you talked against God. Religion ruled everything and in some ways still does./quote]
Please tell me how Christains rule the country??
this is going to be RICH
Oh look into Judisam
Oh Religon Does and christains may be big but so are the jews
[quote]Now, Why do we keep hearing about "the War on Christmas"?? or war against prayer in school, war against this, against that. It's like, really? you guys are victims? the religion that rules this place? the religion with the most followers? you guys are in danger or a war against your beliefs?
To me that's what bothers me, that's what I get annoyed. I do not care who worships who, I do not care what people do in their private lives (Funny I Should say this because the other thing people are fed up is with Christians always acting like that is the one religion that only matters and the only religion that counts, other religions are crazy superstitions somehow) Anyways, I don't think is even about the stereotypical Christians that act like they did in the movie.
It is just overall how they don't realize how big the religion is. How there is not a "war on Christmas, how no one is going to attack you for being a Christian.
So, People coming to attack this movie for making fun of them, there it is, the victim mentality again....

I've yet to see a Hollywood movie with an openly atheist character that isn't proved wrong, isn't portrayed as an *beep* doesn't convert and survives the movie.
Gabe1972 You've also got to remember, though, that Christians are an often used target because some are very vocal about things, and ridiculously so. How often do you hear about Christians in the media? Usually only when a particular group of them are doing something odd, or even downright crazy.
Plus, portraying Christians in a realistic light in this film wouldn't have worked for the film. And besides, the main Christian was a caster in disguise anyway.

It is a film about witches. What do you expect? They are their greatest enemy
