[OP says the movie expelled "exploded into the Top 10 Box Office]
It must have exploded after I saw it because there were 8 of use total in the theatre. When the movie was over we all got up and looked at each other and no one said anything. I am sure one man was a Christian because he opened the door for me and my wife. Probably where I live most people adhere to the truth of creation and would rather be entertained than made to think. I'm in the Bible belt and there are two or three churches on every corner.
Hallelujah!

Wow, I must be a Christian. Someone forgot to send me that memo.
Hmmm...sounds rather Poe-ish...
"most people adhere to the truth of creation and would rather be entertained than made to think"
You have just summarized the main problem with America! Kudos.
Damn. I thought I was an atheist, but I often open doors for others, so, I guess I'm a Christian. Curious, I still don't believe in Christ.
I'm an atheist, but I open doors for people all the time. It's just the polite thing to do, holding doors open for people. Does this person think that Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, agnostic theists, and atheists never open doors for anyone else, and that only Christians would do such a thing? What outrageous pride! Say, isn't that supposed to be a sin or something?
Oh, and the movie "exploded" into the top 10 all-time grossing documentaries , a MUCH lower level of success than "top 10 movies"; they made less than a fifth of what they said they expected to make! And that top 10 position even includes the fact that they actually PAID an awful lot of people to go see the film, which severely skews the numbers on that "gross" count.
"Probably where I live most people adhere to the truth of creation and would rather be entertained than made to think."
Either this is a Poe, or the "More honest than we intended to be" award now needs to be retired. Also, I'm an atheist who opens doors for people, living in an area full of colossally rude Christians.
I'm an atheist and I open doors for people.
"Probably where I live most people adhere to the truth of creation and would rather be entertained than made to think."
And you can't possibly think. That's just too much freakin work.
I voted against this because I'm not really sure if he's being fundie or a sarcastic.
Just how he mentions that the man who opened the door must be christian, bible belt people would rather be entertained than made to think, and that there are two or three churches on every corner (but he doesn't say they're false churches). Just doesn't ring as fundie to me.
Did I miss something?
"I am sure one man was a Christian because he opened the door for me and my wife."
It may surprise you to know I actually hold doors for people too.
Me.
An atheist.
Holy fucking shit, right?
Sheesh. As a non-christian, I must now devote my life to not holding doors open.
I mean seriously, dude. I kinda thought that the status of "christian" was based on religion. Specifically believing that Jesus of Nazareth was the son of god, made human by being born of a virgin, preaching for a few years, and then being horribly killed to atone for your sins, so that your immortal soul would not spend eternity in a lake of fire.
Amazing. It's actually based on holding doors open for people.
Learn something new every day.
I wish this movie would explode - just like The Empire Strikes Back did in my local movie theater when it came out in '79. Smoke filled the theater, and all of a sudden the film just melted, which we all saw on screen! LOL
"I am sure one man was a Christian because he opened the door for me and my wife."
No, if he'd been a Christian he'd have been so convinced that no-one was worthy of going through the door but him, he would have walked through first and tried to pull it shut after him.
I don't see the fundie here. Although the guy opening the door, what did he try and convert you while holding the door open?
the rest of it though sounds like a bad review on a movie.
So, the man was a Christian because -- let me get this straight -- he opened a door for you and your wife? Ever think that maybe he was, you know, being polite?
Hmm. I was going to say that I must be a Christian because I hold doors open for people, but then I realized being a woman probably changes the significance.
Since only Christian men open doors for women, a woman holding doors open for men must be a lesbian libber feminazi, sacrificing aborted babies for Diana and Satan.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
