"Without getting in a shouting match, you actively seek out religious threads just to flaunt your "Godless Atheism". "

This is not a "religious thread." It is a discussion of a movie. The movie has a religious theme, but the thread is about the movie.

I gave an opinion about why I was not planning to see this film. Several people responded in kind, discussing why they were or were not planning to see the film.

Others questioned my sincerity. I am very sincere about this topic. I'm not making fun of anyone's religious beliefs; I'm discussing a film.

I am an atheist. That's my personal lack of belief only. I would never attempt to discourage anyone from their own beliefs, but I will explain my atheism or direct people to my profile, where I explain it.

Being an atheist is not a crime. It is just a personal lack of belief. My atheism is not the reason I am not planning at this time to skip this movie. I've studied all the major religions of the world because I am interested in the social reasons religions exist. To that end, I read a great deal of scripture and discussions of scripture. It's an interest of mine, and that's the reason I get involved in threads dealing with religion.

My tagline is there to make it clear that I am not a believer in any religion. I'm not masking anything, and folks are free to draw whatever conclusions they wish.

Again, I am not against any religion or any believer.

This is a thread about a movie.

You made my point, it is not about a movie! It is about a regilious event in a turbulent time for people of faith. That is why you don't belong, it is beyound your comprehension because of your conviction to "Godless Atheism".

I think this movie is a MIRACLE inspired by devine intervention, its appearance coming in the midst of our moral decline (gay marriage debate, etc...). This is coming from someone who is not strong in faith and has been touched by this movie without ever seeing it.

Oh, I see. So you're a Presbyterian minister.


Just kidding. Some of us Christians appreciate opinions in this thread.

Correction: This is a thread to offer REVIEWS of the movie. Thus, those who don't plan on seeing the movie have very little to offer.

You may not believe in Him now but there will come a time when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord....but it may be at a time when it's too late for you.
