Petulant child, eh?

Well, I'll be. Obama IS God-like! So that's what they meant all along!?

I do find it amusing that conservatives are having a hard time with Hollywood’s depiction of the God of the Old Testament.

Many, many years ago I used to watch a program on PBS that often discussed history, religion, and gods. At the time I was too young and too naïve about the world to realize what I was really hearing. Obviously I didn’t learn from them enough to change my world view, but here I am years later observing how THEIR world view of God has actually informed this particular film.

On that show one often heard them discuss the angry God, the angry, young, jealous God....they viewed this God as one trying to learn to interact with His own creation. And when He did not get His way...the petulant side would arise.

You see, we’re viewing this film from the ‘loving God side,’ not from the liberal side of the early God of the Bible.

God portrayed as a petulant child, no it is not shocking if you know the culture that informed that view.

The last few “Biblical” movies that the Leftist propaganda artists have turned out have been nothing short of insulting.

Will they do one on Mohammed (piss be upon him)? Doubt it...

I’ll give it a miss, as I did “Noah”.

When I want creativity, talent, and good scripts, I go to a Pixar movie.

Only takes looking at the first three Commandments to come to that conclusion. Any “loving” God would have made the murder commandment 1st. The final Commandment of a loving God would have said treating each other well would honor Me, as we were made in His image.

O'Reilly had Ridley Scott on last night, with two of Scott's cohorts. They defended the "petulant attitude." Scott can do anything he wants.
It's my read that Scott's "EXODUS" movie will probably be INFINITELY better than "NOAH." WHAT a stinker that was.

Hollyweird doesn't do ANY Christian movie very well because the entire milieu around Hollyweird is, basically, ANTI-Christian. The Catholic Church and Evangelicals have been targets of Hollyweird derision and mocking for quite a while.

Ridley needs to stick to sci-fi stuff.

The movie also portrays Noah as a community organizer who really wants Pharoah to give the Hebrew slaves a living wage and full citizenship.

Ridley Scott was probably hoping that the audiences would act like the tsunami portrayed in his movie - that we would descend upon the theaters with our tickets and overwhelm him like everyone did for "The Passion of the Christ." And, make him lots of moola.

Well, fat chance. Word of mouth has made me unwilling to part with my money.
