‘Noah’: Twitter conservatives outraged that film deviates from Bible’s original English | The Raw Story

Not surprised; many a Christian is up in arms (figuratively) over Noah, because it "deviates from (the) Bible." Oy.

I don't have a personal interest in the seeing the movie only because it doesn't' seem to be my cup of tea. But now I might have to see it, if only to further tick off the xians; you know, one more for the box office stat. I also hear the animals are pretty cool, all CGI and intentionally made to look not quite like the real thing, adding a surreal fantasy type vibe to the film. So, might see it after all. Also, despite criticism of Crowe in general (so I hear) I do like him.

Bill-asphemy: Does Maher Deserve A Whipping For Slandering God? | BarbWire.com

Tristan Emmanuel wants to bring back public punishment and torture for those who blaspheme the Christan god.  Nice to be reminded that religious psychopaths are found throughout the world, and in every religion:

Bill-asphemy: Does Maher Deserve A Whipping For Slandering God? | BarbWire.com: "I don’t know Maher. And I have no reason to hate him. But I do know God. And Maher’s public vilification of God is the most offensive and slanderous thing I have ever heard. Frankly, if a Christian doesn’t have a gut wrenching reaction about this, I’ve really got to question him." ~ Tristan Emmanuel
