So I watched that movie, and even though it is all about evil and possesion in a way it made me want to read my Bible and pray-  My Christian parents would have frowned on me for watching it, but if there is some good that comes from it then isn't it okay

its just entertaunment dear..if you get that it has a good message then you are mature enough to watch it..your parents just need to lighten up.

I'm sorry Brigid, but I have to agree with Dan.  Even though we may not watch something with the particular reason in mind, Dark Shadows is still glorifying the occult world.  I came up in that type of environment as a child, any horror movie or book I wanted to read was allowed, and I have to say it did damage.  I remember actually seeing the Exorcist for the first time when I was 7 years old.  It terrified me, as in soul deep terror.  I was really afraid to turn 13 because that was the age the girl was when she became possessed.\n\nI say all of this to say, there are gateways and doors leading into places that we really don't need to be going.\nI serve JESUS CHRIST now, and because of that, I don't need to go back where I have been already...don't want to be like Lot's wife and find myself destroyed for looking back.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS CARE BRIGID!

I thought it was melodramatic and overrated. The torture scenes lost any impact they may have had by going too far and being too gratuitous. I never knew Jesus invented the dining table and chairs. \n\nI'm not a Christian but if you want to see a movie about Christ that will blow you away I suggest you seem out a copy of Pier Paolo Pasolini's 'Gospel According to Saint Matthew'. It is an awe inspring piece of cinema. An almost entirely unprofessional cast, visually stunning ... wow. Interestingly enough it is regarded by many (including many leaders of the Christian faith) to be THE 'Christ' movie. And considering that Pasolini was an athiest, communist, homosexual I find that hilarious.\n\nI also think that 'The Last Temptation of Christ' is a better portrayal of Christ that 'The Passion of ...' because Jesus is more .... human.

Hmmmm...well, last I looked, terrorism was mostly Islamic, not Christian. \n\nNo one forced "Passion" on anyone. It was a stomach churning movie, and personally I think it should've included more focus on the resurrection, but it wasn't my movie to make and what it did, it did well.\n\nSpeaking against DVC, or anything else on the planet, is anyone's right. Incidentally, you may remember a little cartoon controversy. No one's been killed and we have had no burnings, lootings, etc. over it. We are a civilized bunch of protesters.\n\nReligious division applies to all times and religions. Period.

the whole reason to see this movie is to think differently\n\ni belive that Jesus was a virgin and wasn married and other things the movie says

I liked the book and cant wait for the movie to come out. I think the reason why most people don't like it is because it challenges religion and most of the nations beliefs. I see it this way anything is possible........

I think all movies offend some people.  Should it be a religion, a race, an age or a size, or a location.  Whatever it is people can always find a reason to be offended.  Nonetheless we got to be able to handle it like entertainment, not like your bible.  Maybe it's the large voice the christian church is that gives them the ability to create a raucous like that.  But I think they are abusing their power.  Separation of church and theater, please!

Yes, such a good movie. Me and my mom would watch it together a lot. It really did make me sad, but the ending was still sweet and satisfying. The kids, Meryl Streep's character's kids, were little jerks though, oh they made me so mad for some reason.

Does that primitive fairy tale sound right to you?  For example why wouldn't Satan use his powers to make Hell really nice so that people wanted to go to Hell?  He could gain power by being nice.  The whole good and evil nonsense in the Bible is really very silly if you actually analyze it.

Ive never seen harry potter but from what Ive heard there is alot of witchcraft in it which would be against the christian faith.  Parents need to be careful what their children watch, violence included.

I absolutely LOVE that movie!! I like how they displayed Jesus's life in a fun and interesting way!! I love the part where Jesus(Aslan) defeats the devil(White Witch) and the four children become princes(they're in heaven). My favorite character is Lucy. I love watching her expressions. She also is a magical actress!

The movie media has always been used for propaganda.  Some push overt messages, others, subtle messages.  And "Unholywood" is very liberal at this time; and liberals hate religion.  These sound like the subtle sort.\n\nWhat's particularly despicable of this in this movie is that it will be viewed by many, many children, who will be subconsciously imprinted with this negative image of religion.

If you want to watch it to be scared, it may be worth your while. If you want to watch it because it is represented as a 'true story' you should be very disappointed.

The movie is nothing more than religious propaganda, and not as ineteresting as propaganda like "Passion of the Christ".  \n\nThe movie was pseudoscientific crap, full of deliberate lies and urban myths.\n\nThe scientists who appearded were all outraged at the way they were presented in that movie.\n\nBy all means watch it, but be aware that it is just a work of fiction intended to gain converts to a religion. Almost nothing they say is true or accurate.

I saw it, it was pretty freaky.  I like to stick to comedies, mysteries, and biographies.  \n\nTry not to think of it, the gross parts.  When I was younger I had nightmares if I watched stuff like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Carrie, and anything like that.  Try not to watch it, and if you do watch it, know that it's just a movie, it's not true and it's not going to happen.  \n\nDemons don't exist, and about that quote, so what if they did exist and you believe or don't believe in them, they can't hurt you if are a good person.  Don't worry about stuff like that.  If it bothers you, talk to someone about it, an adult.

Daisy, I'm sure your parents are proud of you, and rightfully so. The kind of pride that the Bible is against is a arrogant pride that leaves God out of the equation.

the popularity of this book was from a women who was taken hostage and she read the book to him and he repented (turned away ) from his sin and became a Christian.  just some interesting trivia.\n\ni listened to it on tape.  it was ok but not that interesting to me since i had already come to the conclusions that were in the book and already had a purpose.  what i didn't like about the book is that it sort of was along the lines of this new Christian ideology of God wants us to be happy so he is here for us mentality.  also i don't think that God has one path that we are suppose to follow.  i'm sure many paths that we choose in life would be pleasing to God.  like when it comes to what jobs you should have or what hobbies.  provided you are following him i don't think that those things matter.\n\nmy purpose is: to do the most good for the most amount of people that i can.  so i like to volunteer and even help people with their questions on this site.
