It never ceases to amaze me that some people’s faith is so weak, that its threatened by books and movies.
Even though the Christians seem to get the short end of the Zemeckis/Gaiman/Avary stick, the beast returns to the sea (Book of Revelation) and the old beat up churchman still wears his shiny cross at the end (book of Galatians). Every thinking filmgoer knows the old gods are long gone, replaced in the free marketplace of ideas by an overruling and providential hand of the Almighty God and father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: the God and father of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
