It wasn't so much a religion thing as it was "Boy, these people are idiots" thing. I don't care if it's Muslims, Christians, Jewish People, or The Cult of Bob. Having imagry like that in a show that's supposedly for all ages is wrong. |
i was more referring to n0g0d when he said "Its not that I don't believe in a superior being, but I just don't believe religion is right"
nothing against his beliefs or anything.... just playing peacemaker. |
Jfet, God just told me that you are comepletely wrong. _________________

Y'know while we're on this touchy subject, I had a strange experience, recently. I was a on a fairly long flight and they were showing the Passion of the Christ. I got some messed up headphones, so I couldn't actually hear anything. And those screens are pretty hard to see from the seat I was in.
Now, I know there was a lot of controversy about this film, but now that I have seen it... sort of, I don't know why there wasn't even MORE controversy!
First of all, I guess it is told in a modern times parable or something, which is not what I expected. But secondly, when did Jesus Christ ever go to Havana, Cuba?!? Where in the bible did I miss that, huh? And I'm sorry if you think I'm a prude, but I just don't think it is right for Jesus to do that kind of bumping and grinding on the dance floor. I mean what was that?!? It should be a forbidden dance to the messiah!
And the only criticisms I heard were about anti-semitism. What about the lame dance numbers? They were some sort of sin against entertainment, that's for sure.
I know we try to avoid controversial topics here on the Ville, but I just couldn't keep my mouth shut on this travesty of religo-entertainment.

Whhooops! My bad! It turns out, my wife tells me that the movie playing on that flight was actually, Dirty Dancing II Havana Nights. Whew! Well, that makes a lot more sense and I am far less indignant about the trampling of religious doctrine now. Plus, it explains that disturbing scene where Jesus and Mary Magdalene were feeding each other hot chili peppers... <shudder>.
Of course, in retrospect, it might have been enjoyable to see some of those characters from Dirty Dancing II get a couple of really severe beatings from merciless Roman soldiers. Oh well, I guess you can't have everything.

See, religious or not, it's that sort of thing that proves there is a hell. _________________ Recipient of POTM award

There is a Dirty Dancing II?? Why in god's green earth would someone make a sequel, let alone watch a sequel of that movie. _________________

There's a girl in my drama club that absolutely loved the first one, and she's obsessed with the second one. She says she has seen it in theaters around 3 times, and she's always watching the trailer for it (yes, she is insane). _________________

Sometimes I think that I need to have a few shots just to understand you. _________________
