I appreciate that. I didn't take it that way, but I appreciate you going out of your way to say that. At the same time, I don't want anyone to feel bad if they were jabbing me for my faith. I'm sorta asking for it, professing my faith in a horror forum. :) I spent 6 years or so in a doom metal chat room and I don't think I encountered a single other Christian there, but I did get a lot of flames about how stupid I was. (BTW: Straker, your response was hilarious. :D )

That's cool. Certainly a lot of people would agree. Maybe a good real-life example is Men Behind the Sun. I assume you would not like that movie, and even believe that making the movie was a bad idea. (Ignoring the cat scene, which the director states was a special effect, but many believe to be real.) Certain folks -- perhaps the grandchild of a person killed in that concentration camp -- might find some value in watching the movie. Criticizing it for being exploitative, however, is totally legit, and you'd have every right to that opinion.

I didn't say that, and I didn't mean to insinuate it. I apologize if that's the conclusion you drew. There are a lot of reasons to be critical of the movie, many of which have been discussed. It also doesn't help that Mel Gibson keeps repeatedly makes the news for being a bigot and a jackass. I was only pointing out that it's easy and popular to be critical of it.
