To begin with, I loved the movie. I was moved and it haunts me days after.

That being said let's remember IT WAS JUST A MOVIE!

There was a time in the early Christian church where visual depictions of Jesus were forbidden. Something about some rule "Thou shalt not make unto me any graven image" or some such. Some people took this literally to mean "Don't make any images of God".

Funny thing is, they thought that people might confuse the image of God with the real thing and start treating the image with more reverence than what is due to an object. I can't imagine anyone getting so worked up over a sculpture, or a painting, or a movie, that they forget that it is just a thing created by man and is not meant to be confused with God himself.

I mean, really, you would have to be pretty stupid to treat a thing with the reverence you should be saving for your creator...

C138,
Some of us are still in a daze from the impact from the movie. This can be an intrusion on that continuing experience.

That being said, a couple of these are really funny, assuming they really happened. The mote in the eye, and "I can see my house" especially.

It is a movie. I think God had His hand in the movie. And I hope they had some fun while they made it.
