It is fiction, and it offends, insults, twists history and, as all popular art does, has a huge impact on our views, values

So don't watch it!

Do you think by your carping and complaning and dimestore ontology that you're going to stop people from watching it?

The people who I would like to influence not to spend their money on this are conservatives who do not want to finance the culture war being waged on them. These people in general probably already agree with our views but might not be aware of who is behind this movie or what its message is.

There are a lot of people who might think, hey, a movie with a religious theme starring Tom Hanks, I want to see that. I would probably be one of them if I did not know more about it.

People who feel at home seeing Satanic imagery and hearing God's word maligned are unlikely to be influenced by what I'm saying. They probably will support the movie either way.

But I hope no one does so ignorantly because they did not know what was being promoted in it.
