It's rather silly to view it from a secular perspective.

I completely disagree. I am willing to say that a large number of people, including myself, who see the movie are not religious. These people are not going to be able to relate to the movie the same way devout Christians are. This is especially true when the film gets released in countries that are, for example, predominately Buddhist.

I find it very interesting the number of times, even in this thread, where people are saying this is going to help people find Christ. The point I am making is if you are religious, I think it is a wonderful film. If you are not, it doesn't portray the events of 2000 years ago in a very good light, from any perspective.

Well, yeah, it helps to read the "Book." I don't think the movie was made for non-believers, or those not open to believing in the "Book".

Let Mel Gibson worry about how his film comes across. Who anointed you World Nanny of Movies?
