[On a review on "A Matter of Faith", he commented with a lot of butthurt about Hollywood constantly attacking Christians, and was asked to name a movie]
Yep typical atheist. Childish and making claims about evolution being science when it is only an interpretation of evidence. The same evidence that creationist use by the way. Films attacking Christians, Dogma, The Last Temptation of Christ, Noah, Jesus Christ Super Star, Godspel, Redstate, Flowers in the attic, Carrie, ect (There literally are too many to name. If we are just animals, a bag of chemical and electrical impuses as evolution claims there is absolutely no basis for morality. Morality is defined by God and God alone. So any movie that shows easy sexuality, wanton violence or occultic themes fits. That is about every movie made since the 1960's Notice I did say about. Every movie from Hollywood pushes the naturalistic or atheist point of view.?

You've never actually seen any of those movies, have you?
Also PRATT. Also also, how the fuck is "Noah" anti-Christian?
@Ebon
Yes, it immediately struck me that this buttwad has not seen any of those movies. Some of them do challenge accepted Christian views, but some approach Christianity from a different perspective (Godspell, JC superstar, Last Temptation) and some are flat out satires. As for Noah, I think the Jews have more of a basis to complain; I don't remember anywhere in the OT where it states Noah was a vegan ninja.
Billy, you really need to get on some anti-paranoia meds, and stat!
The author's intro to the book Last Temptation of Christ, which, IIRC, was also displayed on screen in the intro to the film, specifically states that the focus on Jesus as a man tormented by human emotion and desires was intended as a tribute to His greatness in being able to resist those temptations, which the author felt most people forget would have affected Jesus like they would any other human. But of course, you idiots picketed and trashed the film without knowing anything about it, or heaven forbid, reading the book. JC Superstar was similarly empathetic, but I'm sure you never saw that or any of the other movies you've listed, either.
...Noah, Jesus Christ Super Star, Godspel...
Okay, WHY pray-tell, do you hate these? Is it the rock music? The clown-like face-paint? Hippies? Jesus who's actually Jesus-like? CGI? Russell Crowe? WHAT?!
(Also, it's Godspell , with two L's)
I wonder what this guy's take on the Nicholas Cage/Left Behind remake will be? Will he trash it for having Nicholas Cage in it?
Morality is defined by God and God alone.

If Gobs alone defines morality, who's to say he won't shift it chaotically?
It doesn't matter if a building has a foundation: if there's a risk of liquefaction it's probably not a good idea to base your building on it.
Oh, and Dogma was a masterpiece. Fuck you.
"If Gobs alone defines morality, who's to say he won't shift it chaotically?"
"I'm altering the deal! PRAY I don't alter it any further!!"
Morality is defined by God and God alone.
So why do we have laws against kiddie porn and vandalism? Neither are mentioned in the Bible. Why are there no (Western) laws against adultery or working on the Sabbath? We have the Golden Rule. But that has nothing to do with God - some version of it has found in every culture on the planet throughout history and even atheists agree to it. It doesn't come from God. It comes from the natural desire of people to live together without killing each other.

I feel much better now.
So his logic is that if the movie doesn't depict our exact values it's anti-Christ-Stain? That explains the list.
P.S. Two Kevin Smith movies, hell yeah!
"Childish and making claims about evolution being science when it is only an interpretation of evidence."
Yeah, much as 2 + 2 = 4 is just an interpretation of evidence.
Wow,this guy has bought the crap hook,line and sinker hasn't he?
Science IS the interpretation of evidence. All of the evidence. Creationism is the interpretation of the subset of the evidence that they can claim is compatible with their preconceived conclusions.
Morality is defined by God and God alone.
And God defined morality as including the violent cutting open of pregnant women and ripping the unborn out of them... he also defined it as dashing babies against rocks to kill them, to the point that you will be happy while you do it!
He also went and defined it as beating the shit out of a slave to the point that they almost died... as long as they *almost* died for 2 days. After that, they could die and it would STILL be moral according to your God. (and even if they died before 2 days were up? The slave owner had to pay a fine...)
So any movie that shows easy sexuality, wanton violence or occultic themes fits.
So... you consider a film that would be about the magic that Moses used to show Pharaoh the glory of God to be atheistic or Naturalistic? Or if we did a movie about the way the Hebrews acted once they got to the area of Israel? Or how about one involving King Solomon? Maybe even a film about Samson...? (though they've done that... (I guess that was atheistic, huh?)
The reason most movies don't concern themselves with depicting religion or the religious as good moral examples or the heroes against evil is because you're not. A little reality must be attached to every story to keep it rooted, movies where the most Christian prayerful character rises above all adversity to make things better are fantasy flicks depicting no real traits that would only intrest you fundies.
"naturalistic or atheist point of view.?"
What you really should say there is "not a completely fundie-biased view" as that's what you really mean. There are, thank God, other worldviews out there.
Science IS interpreting of evidence, stupid. Creationists have no evidence.
Why are we just animals. We ARE animals, but there's nothing "just" about it.
“Morality” is much, much older than the Bible, silly, as it's older than mankind.
Reality pushes the naturalistic point of view, stupid.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
