and yet we haven't seen a humorous movie on the holocaust which also costs thousands their lives.. but we wouldn't call that funny..

I just can't see how folks could justify a Comical Hollywood protrayal of a Biblical Event that wasn't funny at the time..

It just shows how shallow and sickening the reasoning folks use to justify themselves and still call themselves Christian...

I can certainly appreciate Humor but not when it degrades the Word of God to just another Fairy Tale...

but of course I'm not that enlightened or free...

Okay -- one more time -- this is not a re-telling of the Biblical account of Noah. Say it with me -- this is not a re-telling of the Biblical account of Noah.

You obviously haven't watched the movie, if so, you'd know that it wasn't (here it is again) a re-telling of the Biblical account of Noah. Because it wasn't that, your point of it being funny and therefore repulsive to you doesn't fit.

No one died. The flood didn't cover the whole earth . . . it was incredibly, likely supernaturally kept within a certain area in which no one was harmed.

Do yourself a favor, watch the movie before commenting on it. That way, you'll understand context and your opinion won't be incorrectly based on assumptions. That's a good rule of thumb for a lot of things. Kinda hard to give commentary on something a person's never seen, heard or knows about.

It wasn't a thong. Did you watch the movie, or just relying on assumptions?

And that scene was all part of the movie. It was there to show how we, as humans, would first react when given the ultimate power of God. We would do things on a whim. Probably not create winds to blow skirts up, but we'd do other things just as pointless, selfish and carnal.

imo...

If this was a stab at Christianity, I hope they do it more often. The movie had a great message. Trusting God. Having courage despite popular opinions or what others think . . . even close friends advisors. Family staying together through hard times.

Again, I understand it's your opinion and you're definitely entitled to it . . . but it's an unlearned, unverified opinion based upon assumption, not through first hand viewing of the movie.
