  • Saved
    I bought four movies today.  All for less then 4 bucks a piece.  Oh ya!  Among those I bought saved because my good friend, who I won't name at this time, said he loved it because it does a good job of depicting the contradictions and quirks of modern/contemporary /evangelistic church or in this case school.  As I watched it was quite accurate how messed up a lot of the churches theology (thoughts on G-d), orthodoxy (right teaching) and praxis (active practice/living of ones faith) is.   But by the end of the movie it's a big dull thud.  The only thing they drive home (or at least try to) is that we need each other and even when we disagree we should still befriend them.  I also agree.  But it just didn't do anything for me.  I think I'm going to watch it with my friend.  Talk about it and then give it to him.  By the way, this friend is a devoted Christ Follower.  I know some people thought this was an outsider making fun of the church and I just wanted to clear that up.
