No it wasn’t, calling that anti-Christian trash a work of devout, believing Christians is absurd, and untrue, frankly a lie, you don’t know what Scorcese’s religious beliefs are, but we are pretty sure that he is not a devoted Christian.
Christians despise the film, as did the rest of the people in America, and your lack of conservatism is showing not just in your adoration for the movie, but in your admission that you couldn’t see the liberalism in Ebert that the rest of us were mocking.
I wonder what your reasons are as a Christian, to love this movie?
This isn’t the first time that you have taken this exact same role in defending an anti-Christian movie, and the Hollywood left.
I think your own biases and liberalism are on display, as your claw for this silly, flop of a lefty movie, and an old famously lefty, movie critic.
First of all I’m not Christian, second of all this film has no political overtones whatsoever and doesn’t reflect any political beliefs on the part of its viewers. It has no bearing on my belief in low taxes and the prosperity of Western Culture. I merely think it’s intriguing cinema - and not sufficiently dramatic to ever have a mass audience - not was it made for a mass audience. It’s an adaptation of a novel that Greek students read in High school. I also like ‘Life of Brian’ and ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ btw which were also protested by people who never saw them. Conservatism still in tact.
