Yeah, right! I guess ol' Chuck has a lot more faith in "the media elite" than I ever will.
I think you're right. I think the reason they hate this movie is an instinctual hatred for any portrayal of Jesus that is remotely like who He really was. I don't think they've thought it through in the way Colson believes, and even if they have, it's only in an "Oh great, then we'll have more stupid Jesus Freaks running around annoying us," way, not an "Oh no, what if people get saved, we'll be ruined" way.
