QuoteI think you should have stopped right after you wrote the word "Classic". You must understand that what this movie portrays is not official propaganda authorized by the Office of Atheist Intelligence. (And as far as an Office of Atheist Intelligence, there isn't one, it doesn't exist, THAT WAS A JOKE.)

I think you may have violated security procedures with this post.

Equating movies with Rorschach pictures here: what I "saw" while watching it  was the downfall of religion in the world, with it being put in its proper place in this new millenia. I especially felt all giddy when they used B.C.E instead of B.C in the movie. Not atheistic propaganda, but atheistic expression.

But I could have gotten it all wrong. The director could be trying to tell us that it was the Mayans that had it right all along, and that the world will end because their gods are just as petty and jealous as any other power-hungry human being trying to enslave minds. Oh, well.

Seriously now, the original post is stupid.

Quote from: "pj084527"Some scenes showed Moslems and Catholics praying fervently before God for deliverance but to no avail.
He should ask him self why it is in the real world, 26 000 children that dies of hunger alone EVERY DAY who prays for salvation, but to no avail?

He would rather be upset about this in a bloody movie. The narrow mindedness is staggering.

I watched 2012 at the cinema on a Tuesday afternoon with my eldest daughter because there was nothing better to do. It  did benefit from being seen on the big screen.

Doing what most teenagers do during bad movies.
Quote from: "Ivan Tudor C McHock"If your faith in god is due to your need to explain the origin of the universe, and you do not apply this same logic to the origin of god, then you are an idiot.

I can outline this example to a religious bias:

The new TV series "V" (the remake) is subliminal religious programming. It represents the war on science to where religion views science as an invader to destroy their way of life or ideology. Here the Visitor is painted as the devil or the serpent offering forbidden knowledge in attempt to destroy mankind. They try to paint the visitors as a religious entity or cult over their own. The devils work as you can say.. They make the visitors appear cold and calculated without emotion, feeling, heart, or soul as if they are the complete opposite of life, and as if this is what science will do to all humanity.. They portray the government as pandering to their will similar to how christian's are now trying to label our government to pandering to secular idealism when they feel the government was supposed to be a "Christian Nation" or founded on Christianity vs Deism.. Thus, they are waging a holy war on our government, and on science to where they actually plan to take both of them and indoctrinate them into the Christian religious ideology.. To install a Theocracy, or religious police state.. Here both leaders of the movement represent the Authority and force to impose their law or religious ideology upon the masses... And they used the defectors of the Visitors as examples of redemption, salvation, and submission to the ideology to give comfort to those they threaten war with.. Hence, join us or die.. :brick:

Nope.

They fondle each other's wobbly bits.

Damn, I should have known I was doing something wrong when I took a girlfriend to see a war film and she asked 'Aren't you going to pay me any attention!?'
