It'd be stupid of me to get into a debate about religion with you folks. Either way, you end up getting stuck where you don' t need to be. Jeez, I mean, entire wars have been fought over the idea of one group's God being more divine than the other group. I'd rather hit myself in the head with a tack hammer nine times, all things considered. But, I must admit, that whole idea is what prompts me to go see movies like Leap of Faith , Steve Martin's film about a con man posing as an evangelical tent preacher.
Folks always go for the seemier side of a subject, and religion is no different.
I confess that I loved every minute of Jim and Tammy Faye's downfall, 'cause the outrageous truth became more and more crazy every day. Same with Swaggart and that floozy in New Orleans. And, yes, I was expecting this same line of thought from Robert Duvall's new movie The Apostle. Anyone who has seen Duvall's work knows the depth he can take a character to. The Apostle is an amazing piece of work, one that has taken Duvall ten years or more to make.
