Have you ever heard of a spoof? As a Christian I have no problems with this movie. This isn't the first thing where Christians are depicted like this. If anything, there are different depictions of Christians in this movie. One where they are that suburban always happy, quoting scripture and saying Praise Jesus at the drop of the hat, on the other hand you have the more under cover Christians. Those that don't feel the need to be so in your face about it, in an almost cliche/naive kind of way.
This movie is about a journey if discovery. This woman grew up in church but felt she didn't need to continue on like many people) when she got older). Then one day she got tired of the losers she was dating and decided to try something else for a change. That's when she joined christianmingle.com and after meeting a guy she really liked, the truth came out. She began to fall and hit rock bottom and that's when she found God.
In a way, God was stripping her (read Stripped by Lina Abujamra) in order for her to come around and find Him.
This movie take a whole other level if you don't focus on the cliche depiction of Christians, but instead, look at what's really going on.

Yes, it's always a good model for an institution to rely on the fragile and and the downtrodden to be their pray and lifeblood. Don't bother actually fixing the systemic problems that cause poverty and class abuse, just feed them Big Religion in mass to trick them into thinking that if they're slaves for the aristocracy and follow what you say, they'll go to heaven and be happy.
Ever notice that most aristocrats aren't the super cult-y religious ones. It's usually unskilled and uneducated labor.

This was not a spoof. It was just poorly written and poorly acted (not on purpose, you know, like a spoof!).
