bump

No doubt somebody will be offended by this. I had to read it since I came across the snopes website yesterday while searching for world population by race. Hope that doesn't offend anyone. My thought is that I don't understand why anyone would feel it necessary to throw bad light on Christianity when Christians are doing such a good job of it!

lol.... everyoneis entitled to their opinion. Am I shining a bad light? If so Im very sorry.

I don't know if you're "shining a bad light" or not but that commment makes me feel that you have an unstated agenda here. What are your thoughts about this information?

No , I myself am not shing a bad light. I just wanted to post this for some. My opinion on the subject,I think it sheds a bad light on children, by them seeing one side. I guess it depends on the age of the child an what they hav to compare it to. I personally ,would not go see the movie. As i said before , i do not want to cause any arguments on the subject, would just like to hear other's opinion. I appreciate your reply. Thank you

As a person who has actually READ all three of the books, the trilogy is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST literature that I've EVER read. The books could be taken as anti-religious, but I saw them more as pro-self consciousness. There's nothing unjustified about his line of thought, but MANY people will have severe problems with gay angels, God as being simply the first angel, and the idea of dark matter being considered the essence of creation rather than the will to create by an omnipotent creator. I just feel sorry that so many people have already started bashing the movies months before it comes out. But, this is the way of close-minded fundamentalists, who don't even read books before criticing them. Can't change humans, particularly this brand of human.

didn't even look at it, but no doyou you are far from shedding "bad light"

Is everything to be judged as propaganda by one group or another? That thought saddens me...

ahhh I don't think so....

people are people....*shrugs* I like to debate, no problem with most people here

LOL beepers are sensitive huh? i know I am...lol

Not that I believe this, but I read one time where the world would end in 2012, that just prior to the ending, God would be denounced by most humans through things like writing, movies, radio, etc.
So ah hell; who knows? Maybe we'll all be outta our misery soon!

sorry dave if you think im a fundamentlaist, not ashamed of it. I agree I have not read the books. I didn't bash. I posted a thread for others to read . Had no bad intentions at all. IM sorry if you feel that way. Sick, thank you, I try not to. I try to listen to others views evenif we disagree. No, tommy, i simply said some children may see only one side. Im sorry if i misunderstood.

I guess some people have a problem with anything magical or mystical, such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or anything in that vein. I've seen it. But I'll tell you what, this is going to be a blockbuster, and like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, they will go down as HUGE Academy Award nominee, all around.

yes dave, it probably will be popular for many reasons, curiosity, Nicole Kiddman.......lol Had to add that. Have a good day. I hope this does not cause any friction. I will be getting of , got somewhere to go. Please have patience with everyones view and opinions. hugs to all. :)

I'm not upset, and I wasn't targeting my comments to you, but to the writers of the items on the Snopes website. You don't have to keep apologizing. If you don't have problems with the movie or the fact that it's a work of fiction, that's great, but there will be a lot of people that will have a problem with it before they even get to see it, or read it, which is just silly to me. How can you form an opinion based on hearsay, before you (the ubiquitous 'you', not you 'you') have the grounds to make that judgement.

Again, I wouldn't let the fact that it uses religious devices as a foundation for excellent fiction keep you from enjoying it.
