hehe, well, i laughed initually because i'm a fan of pranks.

This was bound to happen. I'm not taking sides here.

let's not start a flame war over someone else's actions. Really ATOT, flames lead to nothing. I think i'm getting a bit tired of flame wars here at ATOT... oh well hehe


as a prank, it was amusing.

It was disrespectful, but the people inside watching should have just enjoyed the movie and ignored the kid unless he was blocking peoples' view or talking loudly in the movie.

what line?

If Jesus is so sacred, why is there a movie about him that does little more than show you the unspeable horror of his death with little if no other message?

It showed you what he went through so that you wouldn't have to- and what you saw wasn't even the beginning.

So Jesus died so noone else would be crucified? Are you saying Jesus was the last man crucified?

Your ignorance is astounding.

It has to do with logic. You should try using it sometimes.
If he went through what he did so we wouldn't have to, why did men after him go through the same thing?

Wrong logic, chief. Brush up a bit on what you're insulting before you do, because now all you're doing is using your buttocks as earmuffs. :)

PM if you want to discuss it seriously and maturely, otherwise, cease your trolling.

I guess Christianity is not a tolerant religion.
If that's your image of tolerance, how about being tolerant to people killing your parents?

No, it is moreso than that, because this is taking a deliberate jab at something these people hold very close to them.




There is a certain amount of respect to be had for a man such as Jesus. Regardless of the fact that you are a disgruntled atheist bandwagoner or not. And this did not meet that minimum, but flew in the opposite direction.

Of course, the paper is BS, but the logic still stands. Don't be a jerk.

Less so than theists who post stuff like your remark after someone already pointed out the story is as fictional as the Bible.

So people don't hold the right to abortion close to them? It's the same thing.

Atheists are bandwagoners? This coming from a Christian? LOL





If such a stunt were to be pulled I don't doubt that the reaction would be the same as in that article.

I guess I can't dress as Anakin for the next Srar Wars movie because he is "evil" :D

Indeed my friend, Jesus died for all of our sins because He created us and He loves us. and Through this, He gave us eternal life so that one day we'll live in heaven with Him forever and ever! :D
