Prometheus Offensive?

Not all religious people are morons who can't think for themselves, btw. Anyway, it seems like the ancient astronaut theory, or whatever name you want it give it, isn't exactly a new idea anymore. I'm not going to protest against this movie anymore than I would protest against the History Channel for making Ancient Aliens. Just because I don't agree with something doesn't mean it can't be interesting or thought provoking.

@ zk24 I respect your opinion....at least u don't just slant the movie cause it does not necessarily follow your beliefs...my mother and many friends and relatives are all very Religious...personally I do not believe....but i am open minded enough to admit that i might even be wrong..... I am not an atheist .....I believe in an afterlife and even a God...i do not believe in the bible at all!...that i think makes me an Agnostic....I don't have faith....I need proof! But each to his own....the basis of this thread is weather we think that the plot will generate any religious controversy....in the end it is pure fiction....so it really shouldn't....if their is an outcry....I hope it's nothing to serious..... hopefully!

Will be sure that many beliefs system will feel threatened by the fact some one is showing other options. Hollywood is an enormous propagandistic machine that we cannot understimate.

I am a believer and I'm not afraid of this movie offending me. My faith is what it is and nothing's going to change that. It's a movie, one I happen to be excited beyond my wildest dreams for. And besides...The idea of life existing outside of our own, even intelligent life, has never been objectionable to me. The two ideas are not mutually exclusive. If aliens descended tomorrow in flying saucers on the lawn of the White House...I'd still believe in God. If ideas in 'Prometheus' suggested the absence of God...fine, it's a movie. Why get all upset and let an idea get under your skin that much?

I'm an atheist and I will openly admit that I am slightly disturbed with some of the choices of this film. I'm not really offended by the creationism idea as a whole, I'm more ill from that idea mixing with the universe of the Alien movie. It's like the AvP films all over again with a different recipe. This movie in my eyes could be better in two ways... It could either ignore the Alien universe all together and tell its own story of how man was created by these ancient aliens (which is what I would prefer) or it could ignore the theory entirely and instead go into what was responsible for the events in Alien. But rather then choose one of those two, Ridley has picked both. :( It's two great things in one movie, Ridley hit two birds with one stone. I don't know about you guys but to me that's overkill and definitely a lot to take in, little too much for my taste, though I'm sure I will still enjoy the movie. Try to understand that I'm not attacking creationism or anyone's beliefs.

its ok because for the ones who complain and cry and pickett those are the hypocrits areal christian does not judge because they know its not there position to judge they seem to forget about that. i am not christian and even i know that

watched the meaning of life the other day and pissed myself, heres a film that must have caused some controversy almost 30 years ago, python and co are just having a laugh and anyone would be foolish to get upset over a movie..try making that film today - ha!

There's a reason why it's called science [i]fiction[/i]

Who worships at the temple of Hollywood ?..... its just entertainment . It takes a lot more than some business executives and a film crew to affect me with their propaganda machine.
