My fear is all along since this movie hits us, that it will divide so many people, good friends and so on.
It's not right to blame people who are not going to watch...........!!!! It happens in my neighbourhood. Friend get into fights, friends blame the "no watchings",
no believers! That's wrong.

Please exuse my bad English,in German I could have said it much better. But I just want to express my way!

It is wrong. No Christian has any obligation to see a movie about any biblical theme. We have only the obligation to study the scriptures and meditate upon them. I have not gone to see this movie because I don't want to see the violence. When I am asked if I saw it I just answer,"No, I read the book and it is not nearly as gruesome." I sort of think some people are going because they are afraid others will think they are not good Christians unless they go. And of course some people are truly inspired by it. Which is a good thing.

But with some people it is getting to be that if you are critical of this movie or you don't go see it, it means you don't love, Mom, apple pie, the flag, Jesus, the New Testament and worst of all you don't love Right Wing American Christians.

It will all blow over in a few weeks and something else sensational will take its place. That's life in America.
