You know, I have to wonder what it is that frightens the "anti-Mel" Christians so much? I mean, I can understand the Hollywierd crowd being up in arms, and to a certain degree, the Jews. But the Christians???? On top of that, I seem to remember that it was these same idiots (whoops, I mean "Christians") that said that Harry Potter was satanic. In "my" Christianity, I have the free will to see these movies and make up my own mind as to their affect on my beliefs and salvation. But, these "don't see it" types make me wonder what they are afraid of.

Gibson has never said that it is a 100% historically accurate epic, he has mainly said that it is HIS interpretation of events as he has read them in the Bible. So that being said, what is the problem here??? Hmmmmm....??????

I believe a lot of Catholics would concur about Harry

1) Don't call people who disagree with you "idiots", idiot. :)

2) Harry Potter? Satanic? As someone who's dabbled in the occult, I can see the danger there, you can't. And yes - you have free will to see those kind of movies and make up your mind. You also have free will to experiment with crack-cocaine, although you would be wiser to listen to advice from those who have already traveled that path.

There are indeed dark forces in this world. You can't just play with them and walk away when your done. You think they're not tempting and devious and seductive?

On the surface Harry Potter looks harmless, playing around with Magic. Screwtape is anything but foolish. :) Semper Fidelis
