Today's Talking Point

People who go to see Narnia who have decided to dislike it because it has a sacrificial man(lion)-god story in it should be forced to watch The Passion of the Christ over and over again. I know which story of sacrifice and redemption I would want /my/ kids to see, and it's not directed by Mel Gibson, the Vatican, or Pat Robertson.

Yes, a lot of people are ansty about Christianity in America, with good reason. But don't conflate things that shouldn't be conflated.

Honestly I found the symbolism in the movie about as un-in-your-face as it was in the books. If there wouldn't have been all this media hullabaloo I doubt I would have thought about the christ thing more than a second.

There's been hullaballoo?

Ignoring it has been a lot easier than I expected.
