: To Kevin Smith, actors, and think tank behind Dogma:
: Thank you, thank you, thank you. As a renegate pastor with a mission to reinvent the church, I heartily thank you for this movie. I laughed, I cried, and I haven't looked at my congregations the same way since! The movie conveyed many of the thoughts I've tried to convey in much more subtle ways. I will heartily recommend it to others who are theologically thoughtful AND open-minded.
: Of course, I did have to leave town to see this movie, but I know my laughter was probably disturbing others in the theatre. I haven't laughed that hard in a movie forever! It takes some deep knowledge of God's beautiful sense of humor to create such a masterpiece.
: I could go on in full detail about numerous scenes and offer gushing praise, but you may not necessarily want to read all that. My husband and I keep talking about the movie and wishing there were some friends we could go with to see it again and again. We both said to each other after the 7 p.m. showing that we could turn around and see it again the same night.
: The actors you chose were fantastic in their parts. Ben Afflick's change of heart in the parking garage, the skateboarders complete with fly sound affects, Allanis Morrisette as God - ALL FANTASTIC!
: If I wouldn't lose my job, I'd show it to everyone I know, and I might do that anyway.
: Thank you for opening my mind even more.
