Some People Just Need a Life

While that could be said about me, this article proves that God really provided some people with too much free time.

It's "The Golden Compass" and it's a movie, people! Entertainment. Imagining that evil is represented by a church, well hey, you demonize Islam and I can't imagine that Christ would approve of the Inquisition. Churches are perhaps institutions designed to do God's work but they are institutions of Man, therefore subject to Man's failings. And more evil than the fundamentalists protesting this movie, well, I would imagine it would be hard to find someone less in line with Jesus's teachings than a Southern Baptist bigot.

Catholics are objecting, too. Remember your Inquisition, folks? You should really welcome the opportunity to reflect on your past and see how your institution can be perverted. But it's easier to pretend the Inquisition - how many tortured and killed in God's name - never happened or was somehow sanctified and to condemn A MOVIE. As to witchcraft, come on, people. Didn't you wear that one out with the Harry Potter movies?

Kicker to the entire brouhaha, some reviews say it's not even that good of a movie. Can't show a thumb either way at this time, will probably wait for the DVD. Popcorn, anyone?
