Check out this article on the fallout from the movie. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17388557/site/newsweek/
It includes gems like this: Some conservative fundamentalists refuse to even consider the possibility of a Jesus tomb that contains his remains. Doing so would be to "travel down a dangerous road," says Stephen J. Hankins, seminary dean at Bob Jones University. Hankins argues that Christianity is strongly rooted in historical fact, both in context and in the events that unfold in the Bible, and it is that historicity, he says, which separates the faith from what he calls, "other world religions that are based in myth." I love seeing Christians using the same criteria for dismissing other religion's claims that should be used on their own! And a cry to boycott the Discovery Channel: On Tuesday, the Rev. Rob Schenk, president of the National Clergy Council, labeled Cameron and his project part of the "Anti-Christian Hollywood establishment." He is urging his 90,000 constituents to boycott not only the film and the book, but also to stop watching the Discovery Channel, which will air the film this Sunday evening. The conservative watchdog group Media Research Center is calling on Discovery to cancel the film outright, and in a statement issued Monday, the Catholic League called the film a "Titanic fraud," as its president Bill Donohue said, "It's time the Discovery Channel discovered ethics and stopped with the sensationalism." Now how are good little Fundamentalist children gunna learn about sex if they can't watch animals doing it on the Discovery Channel?
