“The world tempts you to sin, to use people, to disobey god, to live for your own glory instead of his own, to be a consumer instead of generous”

Well he’s certainly not doing a good job of ignoring the evil temptations of the world and it’s delicious consumerism Mr”I’ve got two home theater systems, I’ve got three Tivos” seems like he’s doing a pretty good job of being a well bred consumer.

“It’s worldliness, you have three enemies the world, this system of thinking and corruption that teaches you lies about you and god”

I suppose the only way to live is in complete ignorance, hidden away in an un-luxurious bunker with a cassette of the bible blasting in our ears and drooling over a book we can’t even read for the rest of our miserable lives.

I don’t know how this guy can live, if he were to seriously try and utilize the ignorant, self-righteous bullshit he puts out into the world he’d walk around with blinders on the side of his head and cotton wool in his ears.

At least he’s the most fashionably dressed preacher I’ve seen, seems he hasn’t got a bad eye for his wardrobe…just a bad eye for sense.

I am (and have always been) an atheist, and never have let my life be dictated to by religion nor politics. That was my own choice, but sadly that a large number of people are told “you have to believe this…” or “you have to believe what I believe in because it is the truth”.

Shouldn’t people have the choice in watching what they want to watch and for those creative people who create these technological big screen works of genius I salute you.

The whole point of genre is that there is something for everyone, and this is not an attack on anyone’s theological beliefs unless they have designed a movie to be that way. Avatar has done nothing of the sort, nor has Harry Potter or any other movie of it’s genre.

I think these particular religious leaders had better crawl back under their rocks and do some reflection of their own. People who have a brain will not stand this for very long after they realize their mistakes.

On that note, even if there were overt demonic messages, who cares? Don’t go see the movie then. If by some stretch of the imagination this movie really did have some kind of persuasive agenda, only those already very gullible *cough*Christians*cough* would actually buy into the messages.
