I took my family to see Expelled last night, and I was surprised at how liberal and obscene it was. They don't mention anything about how Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, and they include secular music from "The Killers" (how could you allow a band with that name to be included in a Christian movie?) and John Lennon. I thought I would not have to cover my kids eyes and ears for once in a movie theater, but I was proved wrong with this one. I guess the next time a documentary comes out exposing the evil of evolution, I will stay home with my family and watch Passion of the Christ instead. At least that movie has a strong Christian message.

So you went to see a movie disparaging evolution through lies, quote mining, lies, misdirection, selective omission of facts, the outright changing out quotes to make them look better/worse and more lies, and you complain that there's not enough Jesus?
There's no pleasing some people.
(Note to self: put more Jesus in documentaries, make millions.)
"I thought I would not have to cover my kids eyes and ears for once in a movie theater, but I was proved wrong with this one...I guess the next time a documentary comes out exposing the evil of evolution, I will stay home with my family and watch Passion of the Christ instead."
Oh my God! I submitted this entry, but I didn't even notice that part. It's sad and hilarious at the same time.
Nathan, you child-abusing psychopath! You refuse to let your kid watch a movie that (ridiculously) argues for your own values, on the grounds that it has music by artists who have an ideology, or even a name you disagree with, regardless of whether that ideology or name is shown onscreen.
And yet you think that a bloody, vicious snuff film that has no plot other than two hours of a guy being tortured to death is moral, Godly home viewing.
What a sick, sick fuck you are.
I didn't know expelled was a christian movie
"I will stay home with my family and watch Passion of the Christ instead. At least that movie has a strong Christian message."
Someone getting brutally tortured for 2 hours is the Christian inspiration. That's the only way they'll send a message, violent torture.
So...inoffensive, "secular music"=bad.
Violent, grotesque movies with a "strong Christian message"=good.
I don't get these people. A Mickey Mouse cartoon that doesn't involve going to Church is obscene, but if you get a porno flick that has a few parables from the Bible tossed on, it's grade A family entertainment!
I'm hoping Poe...
MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is the single funniest thing I have ever read, and I can't reasonably expect to read anything funnier, ever. Sorry for the epic laughter above, but English lacks word to convey the astounding failure and humour simultaneously ensconced in this post.
EDIT:
PAHAHA! Someone said, "are you serious? I thought it was good" and someone else replied, "Consider me skeptical of your true faith in Christianity for thinking that a movie full of secular music and absent of the Lord's message is good".
Liberal? Its bloody retarded. Its the utilisation of freedom of speech to basically commite slander against a theory allowing ignorant people to continue and increase the amount of ignorance in a group.
The Killers? We should call them Slayer of Infants...
John Lennon? A man who thought that peace and no war is a great thing. Sure...
So... The killers is not christian but whipping is?
yeah, music might screw your kids up, you should show them a movie of a guy being tortured to death, that sounds wholesome
fucking idiot
A gem from Everwill in the thread:
"Five hundred years ago science banished spells, fairies, ghosts or anything unseen from science. This line of thinking has brought us to our present day point of understanding. We're now ready for a paradigm shift that is just as profound as when spiritualism was separated from science. Science is ready for the skeptical inclusion of spiritualism as part of science."
I hate The Killers too, but it's because I think the lead guy can't sing, not because they're "secular". Seriously, what is it with fundies thinking that if a song doesn't explicitly mention how great and wonderful and awesome Jebus is, it must be satanic?
And just how, may I ask, is gratuitous blood, gore, and violence presenting a Christian message?
"I will stay home with my family and watch Passion of the Christ instead. At least that movie has a strong Christian message"
What? do you know the underlying message is in that movie? yeah on the surface it is about Christ and his sufferings but really it is about how to be a dominatrix in public without getting busted...
Some genius troll has infiltrated Conservapedia, or this guy really is stark raving mental. I had an image of his family dressed up like its the 19th century, and the women would shriek and cover their eyes every time they saw Ben Stein's knees.
Death and misery and agony are such a strong christian messages compared to examining the evils of evolution. Mel Gibson would be so proud of you. You chuck your own ideals for a Hollywood presentation.
There is absolutely no winning with fundies.
A jew baiting, homo-erotic orgy of sadomasochism made by a catholic thug who couldn't act to save his life.
Your children must be on their knees thanking the mangled remains of Jesus for such a treat.
This is perfect.
The entire point of Intelligent Design is to dress up Creationism and pretend it’s really science. SCIENCE! SCIENCE! SCIENCE! Trying not to mention God or Genesis, carefully curating the evidence, oropping up the cardboard cutouts.
Please, please, PLEASE accept ID as science just as secular as The ToE.
But OP went to a movie that fights Evolutionary theory and expected it to be a Christain movie. Expected Jesus. Expected to hear about needing a savior and needing to reject evol to get into Heaven.
And judged it accordingly. Guess they’re not fully ‘in’ on the in-joke.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
