My favorite part was Snapper telling Kara her article was not reporting, but editorializing. It was also the most fictitious part of this episode, because no newspaper cares about this kind of stuff anymore, never mind a fluff magazine like CATCO.

Finally! Some gay characters on a TV show!

In Brennaman's defense, the Reds haven't embraced advanced stats either.

There's the old joke about the woman who insisted on only using the King James Bible. She said, "If it was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me!"

ahem

As the person at my church that is responsible for booking these theaters, you're absolutely right. We do like to go as a church to watch these movies. We've gone to God's Not Dead, War Room, Woodlawn, Risen, and are going to be attending God's Not Dead 2. I will say the author is right that these films are aiming for…

Well, I would look at it from their point of view. In most media, if there is a Christian involved, that person will be the villain. So it's possible they just want to watch something where the Christian comes out looking like the good guy. I truly enjoy the people in my church, they are good people who love Jesus and…

They won't hate it. God's Not Dead 2 will do well. Not as well as God's Not Dead, but well enough. By the way, in case you're wondering, they already have God's Not Dead 3 planned and already have the plot for it.

I'm at a Calvary Chapel and actually in charge of the movies at my church. I do want to point out I'm not talking about production values of these movies. There are just certain films I know are going to appeal to the church and other, like this Young Messiah, that are not. I got to preview God's Not Dead 2 and we're…

I'm not sure it's propaganda if the people you're aiming for already believe what the movie has to say. I just don't know who the audience will be for The Young Messiah. I can't non-believers seeing it or Bible-believing Christians, for that matter. Are they aiming for the nominal Christian audience?

This is another movie, much like Left Behind: Nicholas Cage Match, that I wonder about who the intended audience is. It isn't Evangelicals, of which I'm one, because we're not going to see a movie that depicts a seven-year-old Jesus. Everything about it will be fictitious because there is nothing about Christ's life…

Not really a discussion I want to have, because there are other important Christian issues like salvation through Jesus Christ. Much more important than the end times.

My point is I wasn't arguing whether the Rapture of the Bible is true or not, I was arguing over whether this was a Christian film or not. I think there are better arguments to have with people long before eschatology; things like is Jesus real and, if so, is accepting Him as your Savior really the only way to Heaven.…

That's a different argument. My point is against the author's premise that LB is a Christian movie. It isn't and I think most Christians would watch the movie and come to the conclusion that it was a disaster movie (and a disaster of a movie) pretending to be a Christian flick.

As a Christian, I do not look at this as a Christian movie. It is missing some key words usually used in those films, words like "God," "Jesus," or "rapture." I think anyone seeing this movie that didn't already understand what was going on would have no idea this is the rapture of the Bible being portrayed. That's…
