This movie stunk and was blasphemous.


This movie was stupid. Half of it didn't even make any sense, and people please don't tell me I didn't get it. You're right, I didn't and I don't need an explanation why. I generally enjoy David Duchovony's movies, but he had a serious brainfart starring in this filth. I'm a born-again Christian and I'm ashamed that Hollywood put our name on this rubbish. Watch something like Left Behind. Yeah the acting stinks, and the movie isn't that great, but at least it's got a firm message.

P.S. To be saved from Hell, you must believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins, and that He resurrected from the grave on the third day. Ask Jesus into your heart to cleanse you from all your prior sins. With that you are saved from Hell forever. FOREVER! What a wonderful feeling to be secure in your fate after death! After being saved, you must continue to ask Christ to forgive you of your sins. Just because you are saved does not mean that you are cleansed of your future sins. You must repent and try to stray from them. Yes, you are saved from Hell forever and nothing will change that, but you must continue to be faithful to the Lord. It's part of being a Christian and the right thing to do. However, if you are truly a Christian, you will have a desire in your heart to WANT to please the Lord. He loves you and wants the best for you. Even though you may have trials and tribulations, that does not mean that the Lord doesn't love you or has given up on you. It's just an obsticle of life and it's up to you how you will handle it. Will you have faith in the Lord, or wallow in your own misery without Him? God wants you to trust in Him. You do not make it into Heaven on good works alone. You must be saved. I hope that everyone who reads this message finds salvation. God Bless you all.

It must truly be blissful to be so deluded that you can convince yourself that invisible sky-wizards are real.

And for your information, the word "rapture" pre-dates Christian ideals by quite a bit. It's not "your word" by any stretch of the imagination.

Finally, *beep* your non-existent God, and screw you for turning this forum into an attempt to convert and proselytize and brainwash. You're basically doing exactly what this movie condemned you people for doing.

Score one for irony.

P.S.- There is no Hell, no Heaven, no God, no Jesus, no angels, and no demons, nor is there any such thing as a "soul". When you die, your brain shuts off and your consciousness ceases to exist, and that's it. You're in the same state that you were prior to birth: Non-existence. You don't remember anything before you were born because you didn't exist. You won't know or experience anything when you die, because you cease to exist. That's all there is. Stop wasting your life following a faerie tale written by frightened primitive people a few thousand years ago when they weren't busy tending sheep or jumping in fear when they saw falling stars or solar eclipses. You'll be happier if you live your life now instead of living it for an afterlife that WILL NOT HAPPEN. In short, grow up.
