Atheists shouldn't be directing Christian films...


One of the main attractions of Christian films that makes it come alive are people who truly believe in what they're doing. Cecil B Demilles Ten Commandments did well be somewhere those actors and actresses had a belief in God or believed in the moralistic tenets of Christianity.

Christian? Wouldn't it be Jewish, or Hebrew? Certainly not "Christian".

Yeah ur right, I also heard that The Great Satan himself edited the film. Or was he a producer? One of those two anyway.

How dreary. How...predictable. I pity you.

Um, Exodus is the story of the Jewish people and their alleged exodus from Egypt. How does that make this a "Christian film?"

If Jesus came back and saw what's going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up.

reply

What makes you think this is a "Christian" film. Christ is 1300 years in the future. This is a story of the Hebrews; that makes it a "Jewish" film, doesn't it?

A Christian gives an excellent answer.

It isn't a Christian film; it is a Jewish film! Christ had yet to be born at this point.

Really pitiful. Sad. Big names? Phooey! It all starts with good writing. A huge disappointment, but I am not surprised. Not only shouldn't atheists direct Christian film, they shouldn't try to write HIS story either.

Well we all know Ridley Scott has been an instrument of the Devil for years. I heard he had a seven hour long entry into his movie Gladiator where they did nothing but feed Christians to the Lions. It was edited out of course because it had no relevance to the film what so ever. We see through you clever ruse Mr. Scott, we will pray for you sir...and your soul.
