Honestly, Cecil B. DeMille must be rolling over in his grave.

There was a period of time in this country when religious stories of any type were welcomed.

These days, if you film a religious themed story (Mel Gibson, Ron Howard), it is jumped on with both feet, from the left, the right and the center.

Is discussion really that bad? DeMille didn't think so.

If one person saw this movie and decided that, in fact, the bible was correct, wouldn't it be worth it. The other side of the coin, is the bible on such thin ice that a film can upset the whole thing?

Now Lokibob - don't go confusing these folk with common sense - it doesn't appear many of them can handle that

"These days, if you film a religious themed story (Mel Gibson, Ron Howard)"

I think that is the argument. Is a movie that says the foundation of Christianity is a lie (that Christ died so our sins would be forgiven), and as such Christianity is a fraud and "religious themed story". I'll argue no. It may have a religious back drop, but it is no more religious themed than Night of the living Dead.
