I think they and you are taking it way too personally.  It's just a movie.  But the christian faith ISN'T insane enough to put a hit out on you for making movie magic.  I think the real issue is that a religion that is growing in numbers is so violent.

Looks like Hollywood is keenly aware that it's not only McDonald's that's cutting the heads off chickens.

And this topic is relative how?

Thankfully Catholics, unlike certain Muslims, are so forgiving--even if that sets up the former to be trashed and bashed. Then folks like atheist deluxe Christopher Hitchens would be grateful to have a beer instead of a sword to their throat when they make a mistake:

DONOHUE-HITCHENS SETTLE DISPUTE

November 5, 2009
 

Catholic League president Bill Donohue says that he and Christopher Hitchens have settled their recent dispute:

On November 2, I criticized Christopher Hitchens for saying that Mother Teresa was “a fanatic and a fundamentalist and a fraud, and millions of people are much worse off because of her life, and it’s a shame there is no hell for your bitch to go to.”

At the end of the news release, we published his e-mail address, and he was roundly condemned, sometimes maliciously, by angry Catholics (he forwarded some of the e-mails to me). I subsequently e-mailed him, saying, “Seems like you’ve heard from the faithful.” I also took the opportunity to invite him for drinks the next time he is in New York. Why? Although we’ve had it out several times in the past—in person and on TV—and although I strongly disagree with him, the man is no phony, and that means a great deal to me. Unlike most of those whom I do battle with, Hitchens is intellectually honest.

Christopher wrote back to me today, saying, “The first thing to say is that I felt remorse for employing the word ‘bitch’ as soon as it was out of my mouth.” Forgiven. As I have always said, when someone apologizes, Christians have no choice but to accept it. Besides, anyone who fights for a cause, myself included, occasionally lets his emotions get the best of him. The difference is, Christopher admits it.

A few years back, Christopher wrote a piece in Vanity Fair on abortion that was so fair that it moved me to write a letter in praise of it; it was published. In other words, this is not the first time we have broken bread. But who needs the bread? Christopher and I have some serious drinking to do.

Pogo, I wonder how relevant you will be in defense of the ark that is the Holy Mother Church when she is taking on fire as depicted in St. John Bosco's vision of her: http://www.savestmarys.net/...

As for Hitchens' contention that there is no hell for Mother Teresa to go to, Bosco proves him wrong in another vision: http://www.todayscatholicwo...

sorry... i meant ISN'T insane.  freudian slip!

Pax, Holy Mother Church is very capable of taking care of herself and preserving her power. Just witness her actions during WW II when she so adamently stood up to the Nazis (sorrry She didn't) or when she was so zelous in getting rid of pedophile priests (sorry, wrong again). Anyway, She does have Mel Gibson, you and others of the faithful to defend Her, so I will sit this one out.

She does have Mel Gibson

Actually, Gibson's a heretic.  But then again, so's Pope Ratzi, so maybe he's back in the fold.

Bosco proves him wrong in another vision

Pax, most of us don't use hallucinations in place of reasoning.  You might try giving it up for a couple minutes yourself and see what happens.

Random, I tried doing that but then made the mistake of calling up another story that brought visions of the serpent tempting Eve in the garden: http://www.calcatholic.com/...

Spam code: XPPPO (unscramble that and I come with PP POX, as in Planned Parenthood is a pox).

Pax, in your very reply you exhibit an inability to think for yourself.  Too right you made the mistake of calling up another story.

Don't give us a link to someone's spoon-feeding of dogma.  Don't rely on someone else's sanctified hallucination.  Don't tell us what *YOU* have been told or what a manual written thousands of years ago for goatherders tells you to think.

Give us an original thought. 

Just.  One.

Prove you can do it.

Frankly, I think the Roman Catholic infection is too deep in you for you ever to break free.  Fortunately, the RCC *IS* the chief cause of atheism in the United States, so there are plenty of others who still have hope.

Yeah, protect your rights. See, if we Catholics just hadn't gotten rid of the inquizition, we would be in a position to do something about this.

It's a blessing about our society that we can watch a spectacular effects-fest for what it is: Entertainment. We should be pitying the people exploiting the Muslim religion rather than formenting a general hatred twoards them. I don't think JC would have been down with that, y'dig?
