    Yep. Look at the number of folks staying away from the church. It centers around the hypocrisy and lack of love of folks in the church not treating folks the way Jesus says to. The loveof many is growing cold.

    If the proper characterization of the love of Jesus was coming out of the church, folks would be flocking to it just as they did when HE was here preaching His love.

    Hollywood ain't responsible for that mischaracterization. The church is. As I've asked many times in the past, why is the church known much more for what it is against than who it is for? Why is the church known much more for what it's against, than loving people?

    So you want statistics, go stand on a street corner and ask anyone who passes by why they don't go to church if they don't. Guarantee that they will point out hypocritical, unloving Christians as one of the primary reasons.

    Not loving our neighbors as ourselves is evident. Look at this board.

    I'm really surprised people are making a big deal and screaming out warnings. It's not like it isn't all over the place that this isn't a movie made for people who want the Bible version of the story, so why are Christian groups wasting their time going and analyzing it just to say it really isn't? The guy who made it already said that. Maybe they just really wanted to go see it. LOL

    I wouldn't go because I typically don't like those types of movies, because I don't like the guy's attitude who made it and wouldn't want to spend money on him, and because I can't sit still that long for any movie, even if I WANT to see it. I generally wait until it comes out and take a few tries to get through it.

    So my wife dragged me out to see the movie…

    It has explosions, chases, blood and guts gore, even women (just not enough).

    There were some redeeming features but they were obscured by the terrible plot line.

    It might have been called:

    Noah and the Transformers

    Noah and the Hobbit

    Noah and Hermione

    Noah and the Pirate of the Caribbean

    Noah the Lunatic

    It was the worst movie I've ever seen!

    It should be out on DVD rather quickly.

    My sentiments too. The anti-Jesus crowd wants us to get heated about the inaccuracies. What should really upset folks is that the movie is just awful and not worth the time spent in the theater to watch it.

    I too think it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen and that's not because they butchered the Bible rendering of Noah, but because the movie just all around sucks.

    You guys aren't the first I've heard say this. My understanding is this is Russell Crowe's worst movie ever.

    Here’s the Effect the Controversial ‘Noah’ Movie Is Having on Bible Sites [LINK]

    According to YouVersion, after the film’s March 28 opening, there was a 300 percent increase in the U.S. and a 245 percent increase globally of those individuals using the app to access Noah’s story in Genesis 6.

    Bible Gateway, an online website providing full access to the Bible, last week announced a similar major increase in those reading the Noah story.

    Following the film’s release, Bible Gateway reported a 223 percent increase in the reading of Genesis 6-9 when compared to the previous weekend.

    The American Bible Society also sampled a portion of its Facebook followers in the wake of the film’s release and found that 87 percent of respondents were reading the Noah story as a result of discussions surrounding the film, the Christian Post reported.
