I'm a Christian and I have read the book....

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2006)

And I will restate that this movie and the book upon which it is based is FICTIONAL work. I personally found nothing "wrong" or offensive with the book or the movie...except that the book's pace was, in a word, plodding. The movie was faster paced, beautifully shot, and kept the audience's attention, adding a touch humor and whimsy through out so as not to get bogged down in its own action. As with anything that hints at a "conspiracy theory," there will be those who will "absolutely know" that everything in the movie is "real," that it is designed to "bring Christianity as we know it crashing to the ground around us," and to "damn the souls of anyone who watches it to eternal suffering." But, without thee types of people, we wouldn't have the raw materials with which to create some really great visual and descriptive FICTION. Go, see the movie. If your religious foundation is rocked by it, it's time to look for a new foundation. TRUE beliefs are not that easy to topple.
