If a person is secure in their faith they will not have a problem with it being questioned, challenged, broadened, etc...These protesters and people writing hate mail,they are the people that are afraid of what they may learn, or afraid that they won't be able to keep the faith if they feel constantly inundated with questions that actually make them THINK about their faith.
I believe in God and I am secure in that belief. I can't wait to see Dogma. Whether a person sees this movie or not has nothing to do whether or not they are going to hell. I feel sorry for the people that are so addiment against this movie, because they don't know God in their hearts. If they did they wouldn't be afraid.
To paraphrase a line from Footloose: Satin isn't in the Disney Channel, he's in their hearts. Their ignorance should be pittied, not condemed.
In short, you make a very good point.
