Hi everyone,
My name is Pamela and i'm new to these boards. I was reading through the threads and i found alot of topics to be very interesting and controversial. So i thought, why not add another topic? :)
My question to you all is, how do you feel about mainstream entertainment (i.e. - movies) depicting religious characters? A great example would be The Passion of the Christ. How do you all feel about those types of movies?

Why is everyone so mean with adding keywords. Can't anyone at least entertain the notion of a new person not knowing where/what to post. C'mon everyone, show a little mercy!
I mean, we all can agree, it is Bush's fault/sarcasm.

Passion of Christ = Good
Last Temptation of Christ = Bad
Kind of a vague question, but welcome anyway.

How do you all feel about those types of movies? Hollywood making movies about Christianity is like four-year-olds making movies about where babies come from.

Pam,
in order to not be labeled a Troll, once you start a thread you should respond and add something to the discussion.

Hollywood making movies about Christianity is like four-year-olds making movies about where babies come from. Amen (and Mel Gibson is at the intersection of Hollywood and Rome).

The cop in Magnolia was a Christian (he has a large crucifix in his bedroom and prays a lot) and was one of the few characters in the movie that was a decent human being. He came across as a little naive and goofy at times, but he wasn't the caricature that a lot of Christian characters in movies are.
