this gave me a super uneasy feeling when i first saw this. i think mike has some good point because kids that age are impressionable, and they temd to follow their friends.
it almost makes me mad to see this, but this could be a good thing. i just don't know. it almost seems fake. of forced.
I recently watched an episode of the show "30 days" on itunes where an athiest went to live with a christian family for a month. Interspersed with the documentary was the show creators interjections of 2 things. the first was a christian theme park in florida where they had bible characters, rides, passion plays etc. The second was a group of people taking a "BC Tour" or "biblically correct" tour of a natural history museum. I felt like those two interjections were used to make christianity look foolish, lame, freaky, and just strange. I am worried that this movie will serve the same purpose. I don't want people to see this and think "So that is what Christians are really like" or "Just another reason to stay away from these freaks!" I am sick of having to do "repair work" for the reputation that other christians have given to my faith.
I am agreeing with abigail, Mike, and Josh. I don't think that this movie will be good for America's view of Christianity. It seems that as a whole our nation is closing their minds to christianity because they think they know what its all about...maybe they were made to go to church as a child and had a bad experience or they encountered a christian who treated them unlike they wanted to be treated. When all is said and done, we don't need any more bricks to be added on top of the wall. The movie doesn't seem like it's going to portray what Christianity is about: Love. People need to know about the relationship, about the joy, about the love.
man, but there are people out there who act/think this way... it's gotta open our eyes a little bit to our own Christian culture and what we teach our children.
