Not only that, but really, why would a non-religious person or atheist pay money to see this movie since however it is distorted, it is still taken from a religious text?
Good storytelling is entertaining. I think a Buddhist could enjoy watching "The Ten Commandments" even though it's from a religious text outside their tradition. Someone can enjoy stories about Greek gods and demigods without believing in that pantheon.

I'm not saying this movie is good storytelling. Just making a general comment about stories with religious ties.
I agree. But I have limited time so I have to limit my viewing in some way, and my principal way of doing that is to select movies with subject matter that interests me. If I hear that a movie has good story telling on a subject I'm not normally interested in, I'll check it out. That's not the case with this movie though.

Are you saying that a non-religious person or atheist have to leave objectivity at the door?
No, I'm saying as someone non-religious that I also have no interest in seeing this movie (in spite of the fact that I have liked other movies by this director), and that I don't get why anyone non-religious would be interested. It's not a criticism.....I don't get the interest in the Twilight Films either, or Harry Potter.

If one thought logically, sure. But the pretentious, self-important greenie wacko fringe views it as they cannot kill themselves because they have an important job to complete trying to kill the rest of us first. :roll:
