Prometheus Offensive?

I am sure that some religious fanatics are gonna be complaining....thank god were not living in the dark ages anymore.... When it comes to being far fetched....no bizarre fictional plot comes even close to the Bible!....the greatest STORY ever told ...

You start from the assumption that prometheus will make disturbing revelations about the creation of man ( and probably it will )...if anyone ( atheist or religious ) take this seriousely i will be speechless .... If someone raise a religious debate about a sci fi movie is because he feel the need to talk about that ...not for the movie itself .

Ugh... let's not bring religion into this. Next, we'll be talking politics. :-) Someone, somewhere, is always offended by something.

eh well, i believe in god, and i don't take this movie as offensive ^^ I mean, there should be enough freedom for entertainment. And whether you believe in something or not, it is always up to you. Should never be forced.

@ Frantz I understand where u coming from...and I agree...but be prepared to be speechless...cause the religious will complain!.....but I doubt it will really hurt the movie....hopefully it might even boost ticket sales...controversy sells!.....i am also not sure just how major this outcry will be.....perhaps very minor...time will tell? Remember "The Golden Compass".....omg what was all the fuss about.....ridiculous....i was left speechless! I consider myself as an agnostic....i have my very own spiritual beliefs....how accurate they are....I don't actually even care.....but I am in no hurry to find out what lies ahead when i eventually perish...lol

@juxtapose Well, The golden compass was one of those movies where me and my friend wasted two hours of our life ^^ It was just not convincing and the hidden father agenda is so old since Star Wars episode IV. Also, if the dark forces could slip into the human world, i would say they will be annihalited by the more advanced human military tech LOL.

@ CBT1979 I thought he golden compass was good....but not great...I only used it as an example cause of all the religious controversy it generated...i don't really give a shit about Star Wars....not even the originals did much for me....mild entertainment at best....so i never made the hidden father connection....Star wars was the furthest thing from my mind when i watched "the Golden Compass"!

I can remember when they burnt the space jockey mock up outside the Egyptian theatre in 79. Its unbelievably narrow minded in this day an age and the massive amount of anti religious films that have been since the exorcist came out. Really 2001 had all kinds of religious Connotations behind it but i don't remember a scandal back then, then again fanatics of all denominations will use any excuse to spout their religious dogma and crazy ideology.

@ alteredstate they burned the Jockey mock up!....OMG! Even Harry Potter Have generated some religious controversy.....magic is from the devil! At my previous Job their was this religiously fanatic idiot that assured me that the latin phrases in Harry Potter was actually based on real witchcraft!....I mean WTF!...lol

Yes there's a few mentions of this on the original alien extras dvd and the anthology i can't remember weather it was burnt in its entirety or not or if it was heavily vandalised but there are mentions of it and discussions about it on the dvd extras.

You know juxtapose... if you play the spice girl records backwards?..... they sound better lol

....whahaha...yeah i cannot imagine them sounding any worse.....back in high school their was this guy who came along and told us that if u played "Another one bites the dust - Queen"...then u will get this evil demonic msg....wait for it!...."It's fun to smoke marijuana".... but I agree ....it is...lol....Besides all we could hear when he did play it backwards was......."whammbaaaazuuugwaanuuu"....lol

@ angrypanda A few week back (less than a month ago) i started a thread called "Creation vs Evolution and then their is Prometheus" It sparked some very in debt discussions....I don't think their is any search functions on these forums....but u could look it up if u backtracked a few pages!....just encase u interested?

I did a search for Prometheus Movie whilst bored a work today. Stumbled across several pages with the God squad already bashing the ideas in Prometheus. They speak of how this sort of thing puts false ideas in people's heads that we were created by another alien race and not by 'God'.

@ angrypanda http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/418 That's the one!

@ db73 Oh my word!!! Have'nt finished reading the article ....but seriously ...U have to gasp in disbelieve at a statement like the following.... "This type of theory, which is being promoted heavily in movies and television, completely denies God and helps to prepare the world for a Satanic deception." Good find tho.....very funny....u should actually start a separate thread on this!

God is an alien he's certainly not human who or whatever the great architect is. Anyone who's experienced serious psychedelic inner space can have some startling theories on this. The spice substance in dune is a metaphor i think for N N Dimethyltryptamine .. DMT the active ingredient of Ayahuasca and carried in the brains of everyone alive yet its a scheduled 1 drug so we are all in theory a walking criminal lol. But this substance for those that dont know is very real and very very powerful if extracted and used in its concentrated form and smoked. The reports all speak of alien entities in the experience of the Psychonaut and its best described in dmt the spirit molecule by Rick Straussmen a clinical psychologist who did extensive work in the eighties with this substance with remarkable results if you dont want to read this book then watch the film dmt, the spirit molecule,.. its an extraordinary film / documentary and well worth watching, or read the books of anthropologist and philosopher/biologist, grandfather to the psychedelic movement and spokesmen of a generation Terrence Mckenna. a wonderful Eloquent speaker on these matters who has the most bizarre alien encounters with this substance . books of Terrence Mckenna. Food of the gods. The archaic revival, the Invisible landscape, Magic mushrooms growers guide, True Hallucinations. These are not novels they are factual accounts and extremely interesting. You really can travel to new dimensions without leaving your chair or bed . Just like the legendary spice in dune.

no. stop manufacturing conflict. why would they care? it's a work of fiction. that's like saying atheists will get upset at religious movies. just shut up. people like you enable this kind of stupidity.

I find those people and those reports Offensive. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/cartwest.jpg[/img]
