What an odd, hopelessly vague question.
Might as well ask if you can dance to architecture.

Oddly worded maybe, but a good question nonetheless. Why do people feel the need to jump peoples' *beep* for no other reason than because they can?
Yes the film is religious. It is philosophical and attemps to prove that the presence of good and evil in the world is evidence that God exists. It does not, however, require the viewer to accept Christianity, or any religion. I am an atheist and I love it.
The cover images are taken from the movie.
Also, the movie is funnier than hell, with many quotable lines.
Rent it. And try to be nice to people. It doesn't hurt.
By the way, can't dance to architecture, the beat isn't very good. You can dance ABOUT architecture, cf. Einstürzende Neubauten.

First of all what was blocked with the *beep*? (put a space in the word, that gets by the censor).
That aside my point stands, it was a foolish one line goofball question I responded to. You gave a response worth consideration but the original poster did a thoughtless drive-by typical of trolling.
Honestly, how can one respond to a question like "is it religious"?
Is it "religious"? There's a freakin crucifix on the cover! Of course it deals with religion! How would a person on the Slap Shot board asking "Is this movie about Hockey?" be treated? It's a moronic question.
That stuff aside I think your post was quite good and you expressed yourself well.
PS- I'm agnostic, I don't know WHAT the hell is going on but this movie is brilliant and I treasure it.

haha, it was sh it that was blocked
shareit was sh it that was blockedOhh… So you are in agreement with the belief that the original posters question was SHlT. I agree too. It is a very stupid question because any film (or anything) can be considered to have religious undertones whether it be literal, inadvertent, allegorical, or even based upon the most subliminal level of comprehension. share
It's not a stupid question. I'm sure he is wearing his hair shirt right now for not properly defining "religious" for you, but don't pretend that you have no idea what he was talking about.
Many movies that contain religious symbolism aren't necessarily about the philosophy of religion itself. Is "See No Evil" a religious film, or is it just a horror movie that used religion as an easy plot device?
Sometimes questions are really just posited for the answer.

...that the original post was indeed vague. The second poster wasn't at all unkind. He just expressed that the question was vague. And it is.
I'm not a control freak, I just like things my way
The original question was moronic. Sorry. Hey does anybody know what Hoop Dreams is about?
shareHula hooping on Lunesta?
shareSeriously, I wouldn't find that to be a bad question either. It would be a *beep* answer to say "basketball", as it is about much more than that. Just give people a break, not everybody knows as much as you.
shareThe reply was a bit rude and condescending. Even if the question seems silly, why not just reply with a simple yes than be condescending. Wait I know the answer. People are more brave on chat boards so they have much less manners.
shareThey also become trolls by asking deliberately stupid questions. If the OP was by some stretch serious he would have come back and elaborated on his query.
As for the option of responding with a "simple yes", that would be just as condescending because the answer is much more complex than that. If somebody puts absolutely no effort into the phrasing of the question why should they expect a thoughtful answer?
Let's make love, not a flamewar.
