TK-8252 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I was suggesting the the "types that take every chance they have to bash anything and everything" as you see it may, in their eyes, be defending their religion. Are you suggesting that the Robertson/Falwell/Dobson characters are only defending Christianity when they do things like blame 9/11 on gays and abortion and secularism?

RoxStar Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Are you suggesting that the Robertson/Falwell/Dobson characters are only defending Christianity when they do things like blame 9/11 on gays and abortion and secularism? In their eyes, yes, but most can tell the difference. Your blanket statement couple those three characters with many other self described christians/christ followers who don't preach that, much less believe it.

Samnmax221 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I wonder if anything Islamic could be brought up and compared and contrasted in this movie, possibly. I doubt Cameron is that brave, fundementalist Islam has a long and colorful history of not taking criticism well. EDIT: Although its not uncommon for Fundamentalists of any flavor to send death threats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I wonder if anything Islamic could be brought up and compared and contrasted in this movie, possibly. Oh I don't know, this probably will anyway seeings as most Moslems hold to the fact that Jesus was resurrected. Although I maybe wrong as I'm not that well versed in Islamic prophets.

Rasputin1st Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Just so you know.......the names on the caskets were extremely common during that era. For instance, the casket of Jesus does not say Jesus, it is actually Joshua. Joshua in Hebrew means and is Jesus name. Joshua in their days was the equivelent of any really common name today like Smith or Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
