Just because it's a religious film doesn't mean religion has to play any role in your viewing of the film.

Arg, I know. I was telling one of my friends to see it, and he was like "No, way. I don't believe in God." And I was like "See it anyways. Its beautifully shot"

My, I love this movie. :P

Yeah, some people are just close minded people that are too big of hardasses to swallow their pride and see the movie. So many people these days think that it makes them look cool to be/act like an atheist.

Well I am athiest but I've very open-minded and I'm always willing to have discussions with people about their own religions (I'm more knowledgable than the typical "whatever" athiest) and I don't go around telling people that what they believe is wrong. The way I see it, we can't know what is correct until we die or whatever revelation happens.

Yeah, you are someone whom I would actually qualify as an atheist,.

Robo, you're an Agnostic, not an Atheist.

Agnostics believe that there is no way to know what the truth is without proof. Agnostics apply the Missouri rule: "show me." They don't deny or confirm anything. They just believe that without proof, there is no way to determine anything.

An Atheist, on the other hand, refutes the existence of God altogether. Atheists believe that because there is no proof of God's existence, he absolutely does not exist. I consider Atheism to be an extremely asinine doctrine of belief, considering that Atheist beliefs can swing both ways. There is no proof that God doesn't exist. Does that mean he absolutely does exist?

Your beliefs fall more in line with what Agnostics preach. If you've got cold, hard proof, they'll go with it.

ag·nos·tic
n.

One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.


Atheism is a disgusting form of belief. Atheism is the absolute denial of any possibility of a higher power, and it's all based on half-truth.

a·the·ist
n.
One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.


Robo, you're an Agnostic. Which is a much saner and more reasonable thing to be than an Atheist.
