I'm a Christian and that is NOT the reason I won't see the movie. It is a warped version of the Bible story to
a) push the glowbull warming crap and,
b) change the Bible story (the Left will use the movie to say that it is the real story of Noah, even though they don't believe any part of the Book).
Next Up for Hollyweird: The story of Sodom and Gomorrah (names changed, of course) and how it was the homos who saved the people, the destruction being a regular old earthquake and only the homos knew it would happen, but no one would believe them.
God’s Not Dead is not a biblical movie, while Noah is. That’s the difference
All over earth there are marine fossils that have been known to humans since forever. These fossils spawned the universal myths of a flood.
Why must Christians take the movie personally when flood stories permeate almost all cultures?
Yes, the defense of Malta. I want to see the scene where John Valette summons the Muslim prisoners, has them beheaded, loads the cannon with the heads and fires the heads toward the Turks across the harbor. The man meant business.
I was thinking the same thing. I mean, it could be "Lord of the Rings" awesome (though I doubt Peter Jackson would take it on).
I would also love to see what Mel Gibson, outhouse rat-crazy though he may be, could do with the Noah story.
Hollywood would turn it into global warming movie with a touch of Deep Impact on the eve of a gay couple getting married
I’m with Doug on this one. Its a movie for goodness sake. Its just entertainment.
We don’t go to the movies anymore because Mr. GG2 won’t take his gun off and a couple of other politically incorrect reasons but we plan to catch it on PPV as soon as its available.
Thanks. I appreciate that.
I still think that was a smarmy essay. That does not discount anything else he has written or done.
To answer him, there’ve all ready been better Noah’s Ark movies made.
Here are some

I had planned to see the movie which is based on the mini series: The Bible, but have not gotten around to it. I did watch the miniseries though
I think some of my fellow Christians think it’s their job to be outraged perpetually. At everything.
I fully agree with your point.
I’ve always felt the same. I’ve thought films depicting Jesus border on blasphemy in a way. No one can play Jesus.
The #hotjesus thing is an example of that problem as well.
Barnum was right.
And will never be out of style, no matter what the atheists claim
Sucker born every minute.
exactly
It is exactly due to the ‘violence’ of Mel’s film that made it so very real, to me.
What Christ endured was violent, the fact that Mel didn’t avoid that reality, was key to the film’s message.
To ‘see’ what Christ endured, for my salvation, was a film worth seeing. It’s humbling to say the least.
Doug Giles used language in that article that was unacceptable. And I am very familiar with what he has done in the past. But that is the past. In other articles, his language has slipped from what is acceptable for a Christian. He seems to think that his past achievements give him license to lecture us on how things should be. With each article, he seems to fall more and more and more in love with himself.
I think hollyweird did a great job with Son of Man, so not sure what this author is talking about.
Doug Giles is the Senior Pastor of Clash Christian Church of Miami, Florida.
When someone points to a turd sandwich and challenges you to "create something better," even a PB&J will suffice.
