As opposed to liberal Christians? No. The term conservative Christian is a new left-wing phrase that actually means "Christian conservative". The story was glossing over the fact that Hollywierd and other lefties summarily dismissed this movie as appealing only to those silly, whacko, bible-thumping, Republican-voting, SUV-driving, dittohead CONSERVATIVES.
Evidently, the left no longer feels this way.
While it is violent to the point that it is sometimes hard to watch, it is an accurate depiction. And it is awesome to experience.
As soon as the movie begins, the theater is packed and silent. When it is over, the crowd leaves slowly and v-e-r-y quietly. People waiting in the lobby for the next show stared at us, almost in shock, as we filed out.
I am so proud of Mel for pulling this off. I am so proud of every one of the millions of "conservative Christians" who are packing the theaters to be reminded of the very brutal sacrifice He made... for us.
A few of you were asking about children attending this movie. There were several in the theater with us. However, we would not have taken preteen children to see this.
Go see this movie!! Allow yourself to be filled with the blessing of His love through the Holy Spirit.
