    Because religious movies sell to a built in market just like Star Trek or Star Wars attract fans. Its about the money and gullible mushy brained religious types.

    That's better than believing the Earth was created the day before the sun like Genesis tells us.

    If one is a fable then so is the other.

    One is a fable, absolutely. The other is based on the best available evidence and observation. I'll take my chances believing hard science.

    It's so refreshing to see shining examples of gods love exhibited by his followers ... LOL

    You and most other christians always confuse the word ignorance with stupidity and I'm constantly having to correct you so for the millionth time here is the meaning of ignorance

    ignorance |ˈignərəns|
    noun
    lack of knowledge or information : he acted in ignorance of basic procedures.
    ORIGIN Middle English : via Old French from Latin ignorantia, from ignorant- ‘not knowing’ (see ignorant ).

    See it's a lack of knowledge... the word doesn't mean that you can't understand certain concepts only that you don't at the moment ... and as long as your mind stays closed you won't... so open your mind and discard your dogma and enter the 21 century with the rest of us! When it comes to Hollywood ... It's ALL about the money!

    I see you are correct. Oh well at least they are consistent (not to mention predictable).

    Quite true one of my favorite religious movies is - The Last Temptation Of The Christ. But my favorite movie involving religious themes is - The Life Of Brian by Monty Python.:wink:

    I might have gone to see the new Noah movie but I can't stand Russel Crow so I'll be giving it a miss!

    We did discuss it and I recall you being educated about the topic. I know this because I can see both posts on my screen at the same time.

    We agree that I am educated on the subject. That is why we agree that if one is a fable then the other one is also. Thank you.

    So when your parents disciplined you and took issue with your misbehavior, they did not love you? Interesting. Look up 'spare the rod'.

    You are incapable of correcting anyone at this point....................


    nar·cis·sism [nahr-suh-siz-em]
    noun

    inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity. Synonyms: self-centeredness, smugness, egocentrism.

    Psychoanalysis . erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes, being a normal condition at the infantile level of personality development.


    See. It's a lack of humility and maturity that makes you the way you are. It's not that you can't fix it by understanding that the world does not revolve around you. It's a case of the lack of will to understand that you and your slanted POV are no more or less valid than those you disagree with. Lose your bigotry and dogma and enter the 21st century and realize that God and the Bible have been around longer than you have.

    Spare the rod!? Ah yes .. it's in that quaint fable book called the bible somewhere near where it says to kill you son or daughter if they misbehave in cretin ways.

    Now how could that be true!? I just corrected you.


    See you are starting to get it,... this is the reason you believe every thing you say is true and everything others say is false! Good for you you are making progress! It's a lack of humility and maturity that makes you the way you

    are. It's not that you can't fix it by understanding that the world does not revolve around you. It's a case of the lack of will to understand that you and your slanted POV are no more or less valid than those you disagree with. Lose

    your bigotry and dogma and enter the 21st century.:wink:

    You remind me of another christian I know, what was his name... oh I know Rev. Fred Phelps. He too tried to spread sunshine everywhere he went.

    Thanks for the kind words and confirming my expectations of christians.

    P.S. - It's about the money!

    His bigotry and dogma have to make it through th 18th and 19th centuries before they can even approach the 21st....:)


    I don't think he should've posted : ""nar·cis·sism [nahr-suh-siz-em]

    inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity. Synonyms: self-centeredness, smugness, egocentrism.

    It sounds so much like an Anti-Choicer.........

    I'm pretty sure that I pointed out that I don't hate christians ... I just hate the ignorance.

    I encourage all christians to leave ignorance behind and join the realm of reality. The mind is a terrible thing to waste on mythology!

    All that being said I will admit that we do share a common understanding. Mythology can sometimes produce a great movie!
