I'm just offering the reason I'm not going to see it.

I guess what I find odd is why you would think we would care one way or the other why an atheist would or would not want to see this film. I came to this thread to read reviews about the film, not wade through self-absorbed posts by atheists who supposedly don't give a rip about religion yet are drawn to religious threads like bears to honey.

I found it interesting.

I came to this thread to read reviews about the film,

Clearly this thread is intended to be not merely a clipbook of reviews, but also discussions of the impressions that Freepers have about those reviews. Many believers have already commented on the public reviews, are you going to complain about them too?

Where did he say that he "didn't give a rip about religion"? On the contrary, he made it entirely clear that he was quite interested in it.

yet are drawn to religious threads like bears to honey.

No more so than the Christian creationists who swarm into almost every science thread to "explain" how wrong mainstream science is.

And I wasn't aware that film reviews were somehow a "religious" topic, regardless of the subject matter. Should only Southerners be allowed to express opinions on "Gone With The Wind"?

And could some folks be a bit less defensive, please?
