I was watching the making of "The Last Temptation of Christ" this morning. The movie was made by Martin Scorcese, a Christian. Everybody involved in the production of the movie was a Christian.
During the making of the movie there was a tremendous protest effort by the conservative Christian movement. The movement even went so far as to threat ...[text shortened]... l behavior, can you see why I think you belong as far away from a voting booth as I can get you?

Good post. And from a Christian no less.
One of these days, I hope, Christians are going tor realize that their faith is a private matter. When they force their faith upon the public they have to expect the public to fight back. For some reason so many christians just don't get that.
For the life of me I can't undertsand why.
Originally posted by TheSkipperWell I have an opinion, but that's certainly all it is.

Many of these Christians freely admit that good behavior will not get a person into heave or any closer to God yet they want to pass laws that require even non-christians to "behave" like Christians. What is the bloody point of that?

Originally posted by knightwestYou're right. But I was just referencing Christianity because that's by far the most powerful religion, in politics anyway, in the US.
It is not just a Christian thing though.
I can't remember the exact details but about half a year ago an english theatre company had to stop performing a play because a large group of Sihks had taken offense to it, and demonstrated outside the theatre. The threat of violence was so intense that they had to stop putting the play on.
Originally posted by sasquatch672A movie was made about one couple's experience as movie rental store owners who chose to sell the video. True story. Pretty scary. It's been well-received by film festivals.
