Another aspect of this movie that I find disturbing is the underlying, and sometimes out in the open, sentiment by some Christians the this may be a tool to convert people. That is a core doctrine of Christianity. Get used to it. Christians hit up this near atheist from time to time. I just say no, politely, and thank them for their interest in my soul, but tell them I am a lost cause. It is no big deal.
If you don't want to be subjected to that, in this free land of self expression, this America, protected by the most robust judicial interpretation of the free speech clause on this planet, which I celebrate, then perhaps you should consider moving to Israel, where such is proscribed. In America, the vigorous and sometimes irksome rubbing of shoulders and minds and ideas, is of our very essence. And I love it.

I plan to see the film a second time, soon.
I am sure that I missed many details as I became so involved in the drama.
I occasionally became so immersed in my own dissection of my faith that I often ignored the subtitles.LOL!
It is a must see.

No, I love America and it's free speech. I will however not sit back quietly when those who practice my religion are subjected to prejudice. I can accept that Christianity is the dominant belief of my fellow countrymen, but when I feel they go too far I will speak out. I am an American and have no plans to become an Israeli. I love this country more then I can ever say. That does not mean I have to accept what the majority has to say without comment or criticism.
