The power of christ compels you

[DawieDieKabouter]

The Crusades make for interresting discussions.

Don't know about the movie, would want to know how they portray it. The movie deals with an issue which is bound to cause a huuuuuuge stir.

 

[An Tarbh]

It's bound to cause as much controversy as the Passion of the Christ, religious conflict breeds hatred, and there's bound to be a vigorous debate if this is made.

Well I for one will not be seeing any movie like that. I can debate against it just fine without having seen it.

Much like the people who boycotted 'The Last Temptation of Christ.'

And 'The life of Brian'.

Come on, it's only a film. Probably highly Islamophobic (with the 'war on terror' and what not), but still, its just a film.

The only reasons I won't be watching are:

1. I'm too tight to buy a ticket.
2. It will probably be crap and historically incorrect (which I hate in films). I hate Braveheart due to the high level of fiction which makes the English look bad and their enemies look good. (see other Mel Gibson films).

Well said.

I forgot the Life of Brian got protested. Some people are amazing idiots.

Well CA. it's like all other forms of entertainment (i.e. video games and books etc.) They can convey certain messages that eventually find their way bit by bit into people's opinions as they see it all over the place and it gradually becomes acceptable. What is "it"? Anything really. The point is that generally if you're not stupid you can spot these messages and say it's just a movie or just a book. however some not-so-smart people will start saying to themselves, hey this dude who produced this film or wrote this book has a point, and that is a breakdown on how society deteriorates.

Attempted it and fell asleep after like 10 hours. This was a while ago sorry for not updateing. Too bored to give it another go. Oh, and re: "read the bible". It seems you missed the point.

 

[St Helens RLFC]

2 interesting religious issues:

1) The passing away of Mary Schiavo.

2) The impending death of the Pope.


Discuss.

She Shouldve been Unplugged ages ago.

People go on about how unplugging her is playing God, but isnt keeping here alive in the first place doing that?

well then u let her die naturally...let her wait her time out

 

[Canadian_Rugby_Guy]

The trouble with the unpluging issue is that yes it's playing God, but it's also not forcing anybody to find a cure. If we just killed all the people with AIDS in the world, we wouldn't be helping the situation any as these people would like to be cured of their AIDS, same thing with deterioration, and with cancer, if there's any way we can remedy these things, then we're doing a good thing. Also, who's going to decide who pulls the plug and when? What if that person starts saying, well let's get rid of the aged, and the handicapped as well, because they're suffering and what benefit do they bring to society? Well then, we've got another Hitler on our hands.

Exactly. Couldn't've put it better myself.

That's probably because I'm the worst explainer in the world.


See! Explainer. That's not even a word is it?

If she was allowed to die naturally she wouldve been in the dirt 15 years ago and that would be the end of it

Correct, he patrols the forums under the name St Helens RLFC

Seriously, I agree with Ripper. Possibly somthing that has never been said by me ever before, but I don't care.
