The implications of this is that atheists exist because they haven't had adequate exposure to Christ. This statement is puzzling to me. There are religious people who don't consider Jesus (any non-Christians), and there are atheists who HAVE considered Jesus and still reject him. I, for one, when I denounced the Jewish faith under which I was raised, I began a comparative religion study, to see if any of them evoked anything in me other than intellectual interest. That included a thorough study of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, etc. None of them did anything for me.

Personally, I think that discounts the idea of free will a tad too much, but, nonetheless, it is not all that uncommon of a belief among some Christians.

Honestly. though, that price is the cheapest that I've seen it new. You might have some luck with a used copy if you interested, though (that is, if you can find one ).

perhaps if you replace "program" or "brainwash" for "exposure", it'll become more clear.
I did the same thing as a youth and young adult - study all sorts of different religions - and all it made me realize was that they were all just a method of keeping the peace outside of whatever governments abilities. Kinda like a government supplement program. I mean - they're all little more than basic guides to how to be a decent person even when things are grim - there's hope, etc. I have a longer, more wordy explaination of what I think that probably makes more sense, but I'm sure nobody cares.
Anyway - I'm just saying this is the conclusion I came to, I'm not saying it's the right answer, it's just my answer. Joking aside, I respect everyone's right to believe whatever they want... As for this movie, I'll probably pass just cuz bible stories put me to sleep. Out of all the religions I looked into, christianity was the dullest. (no offense).

Well, I decided, after reading many reviews, and reading the discussions, etc., that I'm prejudging this movie because of content and that's not fair. So, I will see the movie to judge it on its artistic merits (I did like Last Temptation, so it's possible for me to like a Jesus story), and just know that the messages of "He really IS the messiah" won't apply to me.
However, I will wait until the crowds die down.

I went with my church the other night and it was awesome. Everyone was glued to the screen, no talking, no people munching on popcorn and candy (except me, but quietly). No kids kicking my seat. It was great! A well-behaved audience.
Sure it was packed, but I got there early just as I would any new release.

Re: Do you plan to see "Passion of Chirst'?
Thread Resurrection - so to speak. So for the few Christians and/or Catholics... Anyone see this around this time of year? I grew up watching The Ten Commandments on the yearly ABC broadcast. A few years ago I started watching this on Good Friday, or around there. I personally thinks it still holds up very well, at least in the sense of a straight up story. I kind of hope this gets remastered in 4K sometime. Maybe when the sequel Resurrection presumably hits theaters next year around this time.

I tend to watch it most years on this day. Not a perfect film, but a very good one, and a humbling reminder of what He went thru.
