    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    :blush: Just wait 'till I get going on the Matrix trilogy, then!! ;)

    Star Wars - One Year Later

    And perhaps to show—symbolically—Anakin ‘killing’ the innocent child that he himself had once been…? Anyway: Yeah, I’m satisfied with Revenge of the Sith. I think it is probably one of my favorite Star Wars films, actually…

    Saved!

    Its been a long while since I’ve seen it too, but I recall liking it. As FilmAfectionado observes, it does (within a light, comedic context) illustrate some of the hypocrisy that takes place amongst some Christians… Have you seen it, SOS47? What did you think?

    Did anyone see Brokeback mountain?

    Awesome Liver: thanks for the analysis—I love reading stuff like that, and some of what this author had to say was very, very interesting. Although I would have to disagree with the author’s interpretation of how Jack’s father felt. The way I interpreted it, the father—while not overly...

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—to my mind—can so easily be mapped-out into some basic Judeo/Christian myths. For instance: I (personally) see Willie Wonka as being very “God”-like, his factory as being Heaven/Paradise, the Oompa Loompas as angels, and Charlie as being a sort of Prodigal...

    The Bible is...

    O.K., I’m gonna try and explain this as well as I can...apologies in advance, because its probably gonna come out sounding a bit confusing... What if the Bible itself was meant—both by “God,” as well as (to varying degrees) by the human writers—to serve as...

    Is sex wrong?

    All just my opinion here (of course), but: To my mind, the forbiddance against pre-marital sex is to try and ensure a commitment between the two sexual partners. That’s the main intention. Are there marriages without any sense of love & trust? Sure. Are there non-marital, sexual...

    Did anyone see Brokeback mountain?

    Well, in hindsight, we (as viewers) could very clearly see the two diverging paths in Enis’s life. In one, he could have gone off with Jack…in the other, well, we saw how that life went. Enis made his choice. In many ways, it tormented him…but he seemed to do his best to accept responsibility...

    A hate church Watch out

    I'm thinkin' that anyone with that much hate towards homosexuals, is probably a latent homosexual themselves (and, of course, not at all at peace with the concept of homosexuality...).

    can a non-christian please God?

    But, may I suggest a bit of caution in so quickly assuming that everyone intends the same thing. For example, on another forum, I just recently set this definition forth, for what “faith” means to me, personally: Faith: The belief that there is something greater than the...

    can a non-christian please God?

    Sorry—this conversation is going in circles…and I assure you that I’m not doing that in order to frustrate you.:) I can’t tell you that my faith is enough (for one thing, I don’t know what you mean by “faith” in the first place), because whether or not I please God just isn’t a component of...

    The path of understanding

    “The truth” as defined by whom? ;) I won’t just suppose it—I’ll agree with it!! :thumbsup: I think I’m following you. An event is an event—within any belief system. Sometimes, the symbolic interpretations of those events are pretty rigid, and other times they are a bit more open to the...

    can a non-christian please God?

    Really think about this before you answer: "enough" for what...?

    can a non-christian please God?

    Bear with me…I don’t mean this as an attack on your, or as a criticism of this thread…but—to me—the main question (about what is “pleasing” to God) is irrelevant. I’m indifferent to “pleasing” God…just as I think God would be indifferent towards my efforts to give said pleasure. I am troubled...

    can a non-christian please God?

    Fair enough. Then tell me—speaking only for yourself here—how do you know when you have done something that has made God “happy,” or otherwise given God a feeling of parental satisfaction?
