I dont like it either, but its nothing like "woah... this is so different" and that's really not what we're discussing in this thread[/quote] 1. I tend to disagree - - if the movie wasn't really so different - - it wouldnt' bring up so much contraversy - - if it was about faith or not - - [quote]No, the same concept does not apply to anything..... x-rated films contain substances and such that are completely wrong and it would have nothing to do with your faith..... there is a huge difference..... the Davinci Code is a matter of "history" and philosophy and such..... its not a porn movie.... its not going to cause you to make sinful habits like one of that type would[/quote] 2. it would be a sinful habbit to turn from God wouldn't it? and I'm not saying that a "strong" Christian would do that - - but if "strong" Christians keep utterly supporting the movie -- non-Christians might pick up the wrong message - - I myself would wonder if I was a disbeliever why someone who is so strong in their faith would want to watch a movie that displays lies and disproven content about their God -- and that would be misleading people from Christ - -and that's a sin also. [quote]If they get confused and lose their faith just because of a fiction movie, they didnt have faith to begin with..... how can you have faith without knowing the opposing viewpoints? if we just shut ourselves out to absolutely every opposing view, is it really faith? if you dont know how to dispute these ideas, how much more will you fall? and those who get more agitated from the movie would just get the same amount of agitation and such just from watching the news [/quote] 3. I wasn't really pertaining to the people who already had faith - - but rather those who don't - - a lot of disbelievers might watch the movie not knowing of hte truth and if it is not shown to them they might think that the movie is real - - media has so much impact on people - - just because you're strong in your faith and the movie wont shake you doesn't mean it will have the same effect on others. i applaud you on your confidence that the movie wont hurt anyone - - but thats just not how I feel about that - - and i guess there's no way everyone would agree.
