I think you "get it" for the intent of the movie. The filthy language, murder, and rape are just the way people really are. I always find it strange that Christians deny the reality of man. If anyone should realize that, it should be a redeemed Christian.

If you look at what the world would look like if there were no Christians, save Eli and his Bible, I don't think the movie would be that far from the mark. If a pagan was starving and thirsty, does anyone really think he wouldn't shoot someone for a drink and eat them?

Christ went among the pagan unwashed and I'm sure He saw and heard some salty stuff. He thought it no different from some of the people he saw and heard in the Temple. If you are going to witness to dope addicts and whores, don't be surprised to hear an "F" bomb or two. If we witness to choir members, maybe we can live in a "clean, holy, sanctified, world.

I seem to recall the Apostle Paul wishing (in writing, no less!) that some of his detractors would emasculate themselves....If he wrote that down, one can only imagine what he was thinking.

Well, when I knew his name was Eli, I was reminded of Elijah, who was a man of God who did a slice and dice number on the prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel.
