That said, as this is the InterWeb, it's always possible to go back and edit out things we wish we hadn't written.

As someone who has read the book and saw the movie I did not see it as an attack on Christianity, btu as attack on the oppressiveness of organized religion. <BR/><BR/>I had some problems with the differences between the book and the movie, but overall I enjoyed it!Stormy Pinknesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307895047950691710noreply@blogger.com
