now thats something I never thought Id see!
I feel sorry that they didnt sit through the movie to watch it, as it had an ultimatly positive outlook of faith. Dogma was a "what if?" type movie. It showed a different view of the Bible that didnt actually contradict the text. Some hardcore christians tend to completely abandon something if it is in the slightest bit offensive towards their faith... Im curious, what "derogatory slang term" for Jesus were they referring to? Any ideas?
I hope people dont take this as an opportunity to bash christians and rant on about how stupid and unreasonable they are. I am not a christian, but I may be able to relate to them if I was. I also wish that dogma wasnt seen as a film for athiests and people without faith. Unfortunately, this is what it has been notoriously named. People of faith should want to watch it too, whether they love it or hate it.
damn am I ever P.C.
