Ronny believes all the silly shit written in his stupid fucking bible.  Just like he thinks pervert priests really aren't fucking the altar boys.

I doubt the story could be dumbed down any more than the original.  At least a 5 y/o can be excused for believing fairy tales.

RE: This Fellow Rips Lee Stroebel A New Asshole
I read Lee's first book. It was a hard slog, like all apologetics I've encountered thus far, in the sense that it was hard to get through two pages without reading something so stupid it made me want to bang my head against something hard (but I resisted that urge). Apparently he was an atheist because the cool kids were and set out on a quest to prove his religious wife wrong (that is, his motivation was apparently to demonstrate what a giant douchebag to his wife he could be), apparently by finding every believing scholar and scientist he could find and dwelling on them while giving short shrift to any who were skeptical. Pretty weird behavior for someone trying to disprove Jesus if you ask me. Personally, I think a good prosecutor would have no trouble eviscerating his one-sided 'case', which is particularly annoying considering how objective the author is claiming to be.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

The movie still hasn't broken $10 million:

I suspect that its theater counter will take a nose-dive here this week; usually, this occurs on Thursday or Friday.

The biggest argument for Jesus, IMO, is the Eucharist. Jesus lost half, or more of His following with the words: “Unless you eat my body and drink my blood, there is no life in you.” That is the single most important "Case for Christ" in my book!

Does it work in suppository form?

I recently heard an interview with Strobel. It's actually foing fairly well. The opening was smaller, only about 1100 theaters, and they are talking about adding about 500 more. It's getting excellent reviews.

A 51 on metacritic certainly does not constitute "excellent reviews." That's not even as high as the scores for "The Fate Of The Furious."

Although, compared to all of the other Christian propaganda films, that practically makes it "Citizen Kane."

No shit, at least the morons who write Children's bibles try to water down the violence. I wonder if the same movie would work if they had the Peter Cotton Tail tortured and executed instead?
