Are you going to see this movie? If so, I would love to hear your take on it afterward.
I am not going to condemn you for your choice, nor will i preach to you to get you to convert.
What I am interested in though, is the true reation of non-believers to this movie. What do they take away? Is it just blood and gore to them, or does it raise questions?
For those of us who believe and have given our life to jesus, we will see a loving sacrifice and suffering, but we also have to know what non-believers see so that we can properly minister and witness to those who would like to have thier questions answered.
I personally am not an in your face Christian, I will answer the questions of those who are searching and will gladly bring them home to the Lord, but I will not judge (Not my job) or pressure those who choose to follow a different path. I will pray that they see the light, but I personally believe that they must knock on the door first, not be dragged in against thier will.

You are so right that one "must knock on the door first, not be dragged in against thier will." For years, friends and family tried to "save" me. None of their efforts were singularly responsible for my turning to Christ, but they let me know that the "door" existed, and they stood next to the door, acting as beacons in my darkness. Ultimately however, I had to choose to knock and enter.

I am indeed going to see this movie with my father. We are both libertarian leaning, true believer Republicans who happen to be atheists. I believe this is an important film and I support Christianity . I believe in W's faith based initiatives also. I will email my thoughts on the movie to you privately if interested.
