The Indiana Jones series pushing lies. WW II is an hitoric fact and they used that as a back drop. Should we be upset about the fantasies in the Sinbad series? Bagdad is a real historical city. People may belive those movies are true stories. or even worse, people may belive KIng Kong is fact. The really id make movies in the thirties and dinosaur fossils have ben found!!!

Nor did they insult anyone's beliefs.

  My father-in-law believes that man lived with dinosaurs.
  Because he saw it in the movie, Mighty Joe Young.
  Some people are really that stupid.
  I could go on about his lunacy.
  He also believes that the space shuttle flies to the moon
  and back with passengers to the secret space station.
  From one of the Airpalne movies.
  So be carefull about what you say. :-)

    We should protest the Jurasic Park movies for fear that more people will believe dinosaurs and people coincided.

  As for being insulted, that is the choice of those who feel insulted. To bad.

    For a DVC believer, check EdM's post above. As for your other comment; the difference between your position and a bigot's is that the bigot acknowledges he's being offensive.

      I am bigoted against serial killers, murderers and rapists. I might even get real close on Republican deliverance level of intelligence presidents. Want proof we are related to Monkeys -- for heaven sake -- IT"S CALLED A FREAKING TAIL BONE. See there used to be this thing called a tail sticking out of it. If you look close Goerge Bush even has those monkey ears and furrowed brow. His vocabulary is so seriously curtailed that if you want evidence of the between stage of Cromagnon Man and and human -- well there he sits (Kind of like Planet of the Apes and the moneky really does have the bomb.)
      Religion the entire Christian set revels in these bafoons -- Pat Robertson is one of the beacons of intolerance in the entire world. What's worse is the soft handed way they revel in their bigotry. Oh your a GAY -- "well I love you but you are an evil spawn who is going to hell." And they they trot out UTTER NONSENSE that such relationships destroy society that God is against that sort of thing because they heard him last night in bed say so -- how exactly it's going to ruin the family is never remotely expalined because the only rubbish they can trot out is some line of text in the bible. Evidence? Well none of that is needed for anything.
      The difference between a religion and a cult is the size of membership. And I'm sorry if it isinsulting that I am attacking a person's faith - but religion is responsible for FAR more hideous acts than insults. I'm tired of completely unreasoned illogical, unproven, unsympathetic, "faiths" posing as the beacon of Good and fair and right.
      Start with the ten commandments -- it is such bogus crapola and gets worse from there. Think logically and everythng past the Golden rule is redundant -- guess there was a close out sale on stone tablets and they wanted it to sound impressively verbose.

        Maybe God is a Canadian -- the legal age of consent in Canada is 14.

      So you think h believes the DaVinci code is a true story. That isn't how I read it. I read it that he thinks the bible is a mythical acount of history. I would agree with that by the way. So what? So what if some people believe the myth put forward in the DaVinci code? So what? People believe all kinds of things including the Zodiac, Hinduism, Islam, Judism, Christianity in it's multitude of flavors, Bigfoot, alien abductions etc. So we are not to make or see movies that tell stories based on certain myths because they may upset others who believe in opposing myths? That is bigotry. It is also a sad case of insecurity as I mentioned before. As an agnostic atheist I am not offended by movies that tell stories based on myths of any kind. Hence I am not the bigot here. I enjoy myths of all kinds.
