Plenty of unbelieving Christians out there too. Why either call themselves Christian or Jewish when they support abortion, gay marriage, etc., I dont know.

Seth is very talented. It’s a shame.

Seeing Ben Hur tonight. Chariot race should be great in 3d IMAX :)

BTW, someone should tell Seth that nazis, Japanese empire, Stalin, Mao, Khmer, Pol Pot, WWI, Vietnam War, Korean War, none of those had to do with God, perhaps except for the wars, where we were fighting the unGodly.

According to Seth, all evil is because of a made up God.

I pity his ignorance. He fits in perfectly with Streisand, De Niro, Devito, Longoria...pretty much everyone but a handful.

Props to Vince Vaughn for being one of FEW under 50 outspoken conservatives.

In the fwiw dept, Islam is a socio-economic and political system masquerading as a religion.

Kinda like the Scientology cult.

Except the Scientologists don’t chop heads, they chop wallets.

What I understand is that the monotheism that Mohamed put together is the combining of 138 Pagan gods to get hundreds of tribes to come together under Mohamed. 13 centuries of war seems to be the result.

The original Ben Hur with Charleton Heston is far better and the crowds are real people, not computer animations.

I dont doubt that it is not as good as Charlton Heston’s. How could it be?

But I will see it anyway. That Sausage Party was rated 5 star by critics when it is sick garbage, and Ben Hur was PANNED and scored 1 is enough reason for me to see it.

The fan reviews are 70 percent positive, film critics 20.

Couldn’t be because it references The Christ, could it?!?!

DISGUSTING. Who will make a major religious motion picture after this now?

Makes me sick.

I did not see the new version, but I have seen the original 10 times and nothing can come close. Too much computer animation in all the newer movies, it’s cheaper and it looks it.

Bro, the people involved in the making of Ben Hur are VERY religious and made The Bible series on TV

Blanket statements are silly.

God’t Not Dead was good too.

The End of the World movie with James Franco and Set Rogen was hysterical.

Sometimes the blanket statements about sports and movies etc here are borderline ignorant.

Maybe these “critics” mean far too much to you. They’re fulla beans.

HiTech, I KNOW what they are. I NEVER listen to them. But we are human and frail and sometimes we make mistakes. I did this time. They got me. Not next time.

I think I read that there was no reference to Jesus in Ben Hur and that turned me off. that is NOT true. Sister is very religious and loved it.

Dont worry, FRiend, I WONT get fooled again, as the song goes :)

Hope you have a nice labor day.

One would think after a bloody history of 1400 years with the slaughter of over a quarter billion human beings and the endless wars, rape, torture, oppression, and slavery of hundreds of millions more, the West would have this death cult finally figured out.

But no, there are those who want to equate it with that which is good, decent, and normal and give it another chance to thrive and succeed.
