Interesting Character Choice for Paul Bettany

That movie actually strkes me as being fairly anti-religious. Basically, it looks like it’s telling the Christian mythology in horror format with god as the antagonist, while showing everyone that he’s kind of a dick.

The best anti-religious propaganda is actually the propaganda put forth by the fundamentalists themselves, but looked at in a logical light. See Jesus Camp.

I think when people see how those cute little romanticized Cherubims were actually described in the bible, they’ll be a bit confused.

“The biblical prophet Ezekiel describes the cherubim as a tetrad of living creatures, each having four faces: of a lion, an ox, an eagle, and a man. They are said to have the stature and hands of a man, the feet of a calf, and four wings.”

The movie doesn’t look anti-religious, but it does look fairly heretical. Still, I like apocalypses, and I like supernatural stuff with religious themes, so while the movie will probably trigger me something wild (’cause those things I like? Also make my life hell. Long story), I’ll still see it.

On the bright side, God and most of his angels are evil, sadistic sociopaths in this movie (and *cough* in a lot of the Bible). Maybe it’ll help.

Again, it seems that you hate fun.

A movie that draws from Christian mythology? Oh noes… There are plenty of such movies that are entertaining.

Would you prefer we just film grass growing since it is concrete and real?

When the early bible was describing angels, it most probably was combining Judaism with an earlier one.
