A steady stream of 'hate mail' has been reaching our mailboxes since an unauthorized early draft of the 'Dogma' script was placed on the Web many months ago. This was followed by a booklet which urged people to write with their complaints.

The following is a sample of the type of 'hate mail' that we've been getting:

Please note that all of these letters were sent months before the film was even announced for release. Most of the letter writers have not yet seen the actual film.

Dear Sirs,

I am a practicing Roman Catholic and again another movie that attempts to destroy our rich and wonderful faith. Why? First there was...The Last Temptation of Christ, next there was Priest, then Stigmata and now Dogma.

You wouldn't dare make a movie that would insult the Star of David right? That would be anti-semitic and rightfully wrong. It seems that Marlon Brando was right a few years ago about all of Hollywood and who dictates what movies will be allowed. Hollywood doesn't care because it doesn't offend their religion.

It seems you are promoting these movies not only for the money but because you HATE CHRISTIANS. And as a result, you want to tell the world how wrong the truth is about a jewish man named, JESUS. So you make a movie but call it art. You have no shame because you have been desensitized by violence, sex, and the value of money.

Where are the movies about MORALITY? We get a glimpse of that once or twice a year (Christmas and Easter)

Your Industry has so many issues to embrace and educate others on yet you embark on a rampage about a jewish man named JESUS and His following. It's not anti-semtic to you because you don't believe that He is the Messiah. Well it is anti-semitic and you must take the consequences. When will it stop? JESUS DIED FOR ALL!

We are all praying for you.
