Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
smastison I am generally entertained by the apologetic religious films; however, this was bland and nearly as uninteresting as possible. The narrator is an evangelical Christian, who completely disregarded everything in the Old Testament and Jesus' references to its inherent validity.The political overtones are tired and unimaginative. It would've been more interesting if there were some developments here. The narrator just kind of says, "Bush is a vocal exponent of Christianity; he started a few wars. Bah! No biggie."This is a prime example of a Christian who is civil, not because of his religion; but in spite of it. Watch it if you're into these kinds of things--if not, skip it.
Xavier120 The filmmaker makes it clear at the start that he's an evangelical Christian and it is very very pro-Christian. With that said he does point out all the worst parts of Modern Christianity and how it has been hijacked for political motives as well as other reasons. He focuses on how we need to come together to have a conversation about truly important parts of our society. This movie is more of a plea to other Christians to stop judging and condemning and start doing things that Jesus really would do, like help the homeless. I am not a Christian so it was hard to swallow some of the more biased areas of the movie. I would say that Christians would really be inspired by this movie and that non-Christians would get a better understanding that Christianity isn't all about moral values and banning gay marriage.
jrs99 The Easter bunny ...is a co-opted PAGAN symbol the Christmas tree is another Pagan Symbol...If the Director/narrator was the least bit sincere about presenting a balanced view he would be as honest as possible.The Founders of our country were Deist(Thomas Jefferson) not Christian.The film is nothing but sophistry.....And any intelligent person that falls for any of this should be ashamed of them self.IMHO......people have religion because they fear death... get over it ..let people enjoy their life.....We don't live in Iran....The U.S.A IS NOT A THEOCRACY...PEOPLE YOU ARE FREE TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT.THINK FOR YOUR SELF AND MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION YOU CAN DO IT YOU KNOW WHATS RIGHT....THINK FREE....
art I was hoping to see a Documentary film about a very divisive issue in our culture. Instead I came away feeling like I saw a fluff piece or J Leno's man on the street skit. The title is very misleading. The few times it touched on some of the more outrageous claims made by prominent Televangelist, It seemed to just gloss over them. Why were these Televangelists not interviewed? It had several decent interviews with obscure theologians which were the highlight of the movie. However I had never heard of any of them. It did have clips of interviews with prominent, progressive religious leaders but again no in depth interviews with these leaders. The only time it seemed to get it's hands a little dirty was on the issue of Homosexuality and the church, even then though it just had a fluffy feel to it. Nothing new and insightful in this movie. Wait for the DVD or skip it all together.
