In Reply to: A recommendation for "Dogma". posted by TAFKA Steve on November 13, 1999 at 16:20:15:
From what I have heard and read of the "movie" it is an affront to anyone who calls himself/herself a Bible believing Christian. Had such a movie been produced about Mohammed, Muslims would probably put a price on the heads of the people involved as they did with a certain Iranian author. I am sorry that people get good feelings from making fun of and presenting a false and incorrect story of the one I believe is my Lord and Savior and the religion that He inspired.
hey, lighten up - it's just a movie, and from what i hear, a sophomoric one at that. there are plenty of serious issues with which to be indignant; this silly movie is not one of them. i heard a review given by a priest who found it to be a very tired piece of old catholic jokes and found it not worth his time to take offense.
i hope you were not using the fatwah upon rushdie (one of the greatest writers of the century) as a respectable reaction to an affront, as that action only illuminated a small, base element in the muslim community.
I will not attempt to defend the film or my review and opinion of it. I therefore apologize to Mike Craig and all those who have been offended by it but did not post. I request that the Moderators remove my review and any posts tied to it.I do find it interesting that there was only one response to my post over a period of five days, while the post about "The Matrix" generates fifteen responses in four days.
Hello
Born and raised Catholic, I loved the film. Particularly the part about
mortal man not being capable of withstanding the voice of GOD, then
casting Alanis.
Born and raised does not make one a believer. I can understand why you would like the "movie."
