Um, guys? When did we decide that people who didn't see movies about christ, even well done movies that are deeply spiritual, become a criteria for being considered christian. I cite "spirit of law, not letter of law" with regard to the 'R' rating, but My mom doesn't. Know what? I still consider her a chrisitian.

Honestly, what do think christ is more interested in, Movie attendance or . . . anything else? I really don't know that anyone is going to grow closer to the lord in the theater than, say, with an hour spent in the New Testament.

My criterion for who is a Christian is, "deciding to be a Christian, and to trust God to 'save to the uttermost' through Jesus Christ." Nothing in there about going to a movie, but plenty about nurturing one's own faith. Seeing the movie might be compared to going to a revival service. I myself have not gone to see it, but am confident that one day I will - most likely, at this rate, in the form of a DVD.

You don't have to go and see the movie to show that you are Christian; but, you have to purchase at least one ticket and give it awy or even trash it. The idea is, the movie was attacked because of its Christianity theme, as a Christian, you are suppose to help your fellow Chritians. If all the christians where so stupid as to don't see the movie because of its R rating, then the enemies of Christianity would win, and in the future all Christians would have been silenced.
