CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Terminator Salvation

I was, but I ended up not liking it much. Maybe I was just not in the mood. I did like the idea of how they had to trust the scary guy to win.
I think trust is crucial in life, and a very Christian concept.
Christians who are of the Light can be hard to trust, so that can shut people out if they are incapable of trusting. When people do bad deeds, they think others are like them. They can not imagine anything better. So it is as they are judged and they can not trust anyone because they themselves are untrustworthy.
So I did like that element of the film.

We saw it. I didn't care much for it. Very good action, but too many holes in the story. Plus, I don't care much for Christian Bale.

For we all have a Father!
The problem I have with this movie is actually the plot.
I love Terminator movies, simply from the action scenes, but I highly disagree w/ their little theology, "There is no fate but what you make for yourselves".
That is basically Secular Humanism, where you are your own God. You create your own destiny and pre-determine your own future.
The real truth is that God is in complete control and has ALL the authority on Earth and in heaven. There are many paths which lead to Hell but only one to Heaven, Jesus. There is one of two destinies you can chose from, Heaven or Hell.

I think you'd be surprised what you can extract from a film, even if it carries a secular message.The problem I have with this movie is actually the plot.

It is only a film.

Most FILM can brainwash an individual away from the Biblical Truth. For example the principles in the ff: movies like Hancock, Matrix, V for Vendetta are of NEW AGE and Satanic principles captivating people away from the Gospel. And without the mind of Christ, they are easily mislead from the Biblical Truth & principles.
A movie, drawing, music or a statement can be used by the enemy to mislead anyone.
That's why Gnostic Hollywood producers, and directors of today cannot allow Most Christian Movies to be made. They prefer unreal & fictional ideas.
