I keep hearing about this movie and how it is evil. Apparently the author even came out and said it was about killing God and religion. Who knows. Saying something like that sure generates publicity, so in this day and age, I wonder how accurate his claims are.

Obviously everyone has the right to see or to choose not to see any movie they want.

In situations like this, I try and flip the script and see how it would look the other way around.
1. I haven't seen the movie or read the books, so I'm not going to let other people tell me what to think about the movie.
2. If it is about killing God, I guess the converse of it would be about killing... science? Maybe killing Darwin or something?
3. To Wonder's point: there are plenty of movies about God and angels and such(pro-religious). However, are there any anti-atheist movies? There again comes the issue of me not knowing exactly what the books/movies are about - I can't determine if the book is promoting atheism, attacking religion or both. And there very well may be anti-atheist movies, I'm just thinking about this from all sides.

I'm just a fan of everyone making their own decisions. I hated it when people were saying not to read/see The DaVinci Code because it was anti-religious. How can you judge something for yourself if you haven't read it.

My knee jerk to my own previous paragraph was "well that's the point of boycotting. In order to know what the movie is about, you may end up supporting something you eventually find that you don't agree with. Also, you mean hear that Nike uses sweatshops, and boycott them, even though you've never been to the sweatshop." But after thinking about it more, you can at least see pictures of the sweatshops and such. And as far as supporting a movie you may eventually not agree with, I think it would be worth that, just to know that you made the decision on your own.
