based on Shūsaku Endō’s book “A Life of Jesus.”

I've never read this - I will buy it. Unlike many others, I liked Scorcese's "The Last Temptation of Christ". It was not canonical, and the casting was terrible, but it was an interesting movie.

The Negative Associations With ‘Organized Religion’? That it is not ‘inclusive’ enough? It isn’t. You have to come to Christ, and you have to change for him. He’s not going to change for you.

Define "organized religion"

I'll probably watch it to answer for myself

What’s scary is the organized opposition to Christianity.

Most of the churches around here have rainbow pervert flags and blm signs in their yards. Separating from that would be hugely welcome.

“The Book of Clarence” is another movie coming out that also sounds Christophobic. Hollywood wouldn’t dare make films like these about Islam.

I don’t know exactly what Scorsese is saying, it wasn’t clear to me. He seems to be criticizing modern religions for his audience, while telling them it isn’t all bad.

Most religious/spiritual revivals throughout recorded history have come during a period of economic deflation.
Economic deflation over a multi year period hasn’t happened since the 1930’s.

It will happen again and the hubris of modern man will again “crash on the rocks” of economic reality.

Economic scales have to balance......rinse & repeat.

This will probably Joel Osteen’s movie pick as it will likely follow his theme that the word “sin” should never be mentioned and that we can live our best lives now. It is these false teachers who are sending millions to Satan. I will wait for Mel Gibson’s sequel to The Passion of the Christ.

I have no hopes for this movie. Would be nice to be surprised.
