  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I haven't seen it, but will probably watch when it shows up on Netflix.
I wouldn't watch it for doctrine, but as an allegory, I've heard it was ok. I know there are some things going in that I'm going to have a problem with though and if I can't get past it, I'll just turn if off.

I finally watched it last night and absolutely loved it; it wasn't at all what I expected.
Yes, there were some doctrinal problems with it, but you shouldn't be getting your doctrine from a movie in the first place.

Read the book. Liked it but not loved it. Some things were "meh." Will watch the DVD. BTW, it's not an allegory. It's a metaphor. That from the author himself. Book is full of metaphors and it's fun to unpack its various themes.

Yes, it is a metaphor, not an allegory.

I know I'll get an infraction for saying this but it's heretical.
Really, an infraction ?

I know some (maybe many) got an infection from it ! :)

(when I first skimmed over the posts, that's actually what I though you posted ! haha)
