Theology at the Movies, in Books and on Television, part 1 of 2 | True Freethinker

Mariano, has written a great article analyzing the theological fallacies behind the movies Constantine and Seven Pounds. He is spot on. I think that there is an effort to bring Judeo-Christian theology to the same level as any other fairy tale or myth to be played with, changed, or retconned at will. I'm not even sure if we can say that it's consciously intentional but to change the message is to take ownership - making it easier to ignore as a myth. Discussions like these are necessary so that we don't forget what the real message is and confuse fact with fiction.
