Is this religious propaganda?
The trailer made me feel nauseated and I couldn't finish it. Are the magical ethnic people God?
Yes and yes.

Yes, because if you read the book it'd make more sense.
shareNo it's a movie made for religious people. It is not meant to convert you or get you to do anything you don't want to do. It's religious entertainment. If you are unable to watch do to your own beliefs then simply don't watch. Easy fix.
shareThanks for your help. I was at a loss. Praise Jesus etc ?
shareThat's a load of B.S. Hollywood loves Muslims and this board proves how it feels about Christianity. This isn't propaganda. Just as the movie "Marley and Me" isn't propaganda to get you to buy a puppy. It's a movie about a dog. This is a movie about a man's Faith or lack there of. Why do so many people laugh at or hate any movie having to do with Christiany or worse yet get "offended" by it?
shareI don't know, I'm neither laughing nor offended. Luckily you can ask one of the so many people who are. I'm not Hollywood either so can't speak for its love of Muslims, but I'm struggling to see that love illustrated in casting and storylines. I'm personally not a fan of any religion.
Because religions suck and are only useful to the ones who want to control and manipulate people, so that just about covers it
shareUmmmm silence and hacksaw ridge prove your point wrong especially how most middle eastern s are casted as stereotypes in movies
shareIt is new age propaganda. Here is an article about it written by a former new ager: http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?p=22067

I read that article.
What the author fails to note is that any--let me repeat, any--popular entertainment, or religious movement, or popular "spiritual" paperback should be regarded with deep suspicion by Christians. Very simple. Why should anything popular be regarded with deep suspicion by Christians?
Because Jesus Christ told us that His "Way" was the way of the Cross. To be crucified to one's self is not a popular pasttime.
Yes
shareNo, but it is religious.
I'm irreligious and thought it was a decent book. I tend to shy away from anything religious because it's always pushy, but this story was actually pretty good.
