‘It doesn’t require a lot of common sense to know that a movie based on a book written by a rabid religion hater is going to be anti-Christian.’

Actually, given the well documented history of Hollywood taking ANY story and changing it completely from what the book it was based on into something completely and utterly different has been discussed in this forum a million times over the years. So making such a judgement without viewing it first is an error.

Second, I heard the same thing about Rock and Roll for decades, primarily from ‘religious organizations’ since I was a kid in the 1960’s.

They did say the same thing about Star Wars. They said the same thing about ET, for goodness sake. And the Potter books and movies.

Ironically, those that don’t believe in God took the same approach you seem to be following about Gibson’s movie ‘Passion of the Christ’. And they take it to the same extreme every Christmas as it relates to Manger scenes on public property.

I'm with you.
1. I'd bet 10-1 this first movie isn't anti-Christian (even though the author may be) 2. Christian or not, most of the public has no interest in an anti-Christian message 3. This type of hysterics is what makes many Christians look like unthinking reactionaries
4. I've seen the long trailer, and the movie simply looks TERRIBLE, which is why I won't see it
5. Pffft... Nicole Kidman, heck this movie has Eva Green in it!
