If your going to quote something from the Bible...


I found it very funny that when Tracy's character was quoting from the Bible about Jonah, you see the Bible opened to the New Testament rather than the Old!!! LOL!!

I felt bad about this movie, March's character is what I would call a very eccentric and selfish person, however, a lot of the things he said about his faith i agreed on. The manner in which he speaks has an unmistakable "air" to it. I honestly don't know many, if any Christians who act like that. Although, I know there are Christians out there who act like this and I cringe. God loves everyone, regardless of who they are or what they do. Just because they are a Christian does not make them any better than anyone else. It's sad really, the impression given to some people of other religions is that we're all a bunch of "Bible-Thumpers".

In reference to Tracy's character about God speaking to March's character--God speaks to everyone, (obviously not in the same way because we are all different) it's just that not everyone is willing to hear or listen.
