MM, I seem to recall your unashamed Christian bashing on countless other threads, including one of mine. I also believe that you resorted to reporting me to the admin for not following posting etiquette to the letter because you didn't like the content of my post... to refresh your memory, it was that Scientific American article that ridiculed Christians. Sound familiar?
So... why, oh why would you be putting thoughts into Christ's head on THIS thread now? The irony is crushing.
I think I have a pretty clear idea as to what motivates you.

Nope. You must be thinking of someone else. I never bash Christianity. As for the post you mention, I do not remember why I contacted the moderators. It was not because it dealt with Christianity, though. You'll forgive me...I post in many threads.
I believe that Christianity is a fine religion. I do not share that belief, but I know many who do. Christianity has been one of the most influential religions ever known, and the teachings of Jesus, as recorded in the New Testament are among the wisest of all religion's teachings.
My comments in this thread are about a movie, not about Christianity. This film promises to be an excellent one, one that portrays the dedication of Christian missionaries to a primitive tribe. Dedication that leads to the deaths of several, followed by more dedication by others.
I am angry that some are recommending that the film be boycotted because one cast member is a homosexual. That's just silly. The film is what the film is...a powerful depiction of the dedication of a group of Christians to spreading the Gospel. That's something Jesus called on his followers to do. What Jesus did not call on his followers to do was to revile others. Jesus did not call for boycotts of things, he called for love for all men.
The actor's homosexuality is not portrayed in this film. What is portrayed are people doing what Jesus taught them to do.
I do not bash Christianity. If you can find a post where I do that, then copy it here. I sometimes bash hypocrisy done by individual Christians. But then, I bash hypocrisy done by anyone, regardless of their religion.
I happen to think that "End of the Spear" is a film likely to bring a lot of people to think about what Christianity really means. Christians should be celebrating this film.
