SPOILERS.

I'm streaming this on my Chromebook for the very first time right now as i type this and i'm gonna review this movie on my website. As a Christian i wish they'd have left Christians out of it. This motion picture does not know what it is talking about regarding Christianity and regarding believers. No real Christian would do something like that simply because Jesus already died on the Cross, His blood was the only blood that needed to be shed, no other blood needs to be spilt. This movie twists was Jesus went through. These fake Christians in this film are sick people using The Messiah as a scapegoat to kill people. It's blasphemy.

This movie is just smear propaganda. The writers and director are people who are horribly disconnected from reality and think that their own personal views equates to fact. They have this weird idea in their mind that all whites, all Christians, and all non-Democrats are all individually Satan incarnate and they felt for some reason that making a movie about their fanatical black-and-white view of the world would make it true.

I'm sorry, but if you're seriously getting this offended over a fictional piece of entertainment because it stretches the truth (remember---it's fiction! And fiction stretches the truth!), then that's YOUR issue, not the movie's. People like you need to stop pinning your issues on other things, hoping to put the blame on someone else.

How do you think Muslims feel.

Agreed, I hate when atheists liberals paint conservatives with stupid broad brushes like this. Part II was awesome, but 3 was a completely fail for this, among many other reasons.

No real Christian would do something like that

But isn't that the entire point that the movie is making? Of course no real Christian would murder homeless people or senators they disagreed with, on the flimsy excuse that it purged their own sins.

Then again, no "real" Christian would put their own love of gun ownership above the thousands of deaths (often children) caused by lax gun control. No "real" Christian would resent their taxes being put into a collective pot for healthcare which would mean poor people didn't go bankrupt paying for extortionate medical fees. No "real" Christian would support a system which gave tax cuts to the rich while leaving the poorest on welfare they can barely live on.

The movie is pointing out that there are many rich white republicans who are following a "religion" entrely of their own devising, because it bears zero resemblance to the teachings of Christ.
