My Mullah vacationed in Club Gitmo and all I got was a lousy T-shirt.

That said, given the success of Christian fiction - why hasn't there been a crossover into film?
Because reading a book is an active action. The reader imagines the enviornment, etc. This also means that the reader can determine what the character is thinking, if they are lustful, explosions, curse words, etc. Readers don't have to follow the book--they make up their own reality. As soon as you try to pin the utopian visions of Christian fiction to the literal screen, the controversy starts. No Chrisitans will go see the movie to support it and no secular people want to see a Christian film, so the movie makes no money. Because it is not profitable to make these kinds of films, producers don't buy the rights to Christian fiction...unless it's some Christian film company like Namesake or Cloud 9 1/2, but these companies are inexperienced as noted in the article.

What's the worst part about being an Atheist?

No one to talk to durning an orgasm.

Um...if the movie your watching has only one line of repeated dialog and that line happens to be "Oh God!" you're watching a porno!

Neither the acting nor the production were sub par. They were still higher quality than so-call "Christian" film.

Though I didn't care for the film, neither the acting nor production was under par. Not even close to "Christian" film.

Heston's Old Moses at the end of the film wasn't believeable.

Michael Landon was a great actor. Too bad the most that so-call "Christian" filmmakers can get is some burnt out D actor from yester-year, Kirk Cameron.

Peretti has written some great, ballsy, Christian material in his time. My favorite book is The Visitation which was bastardized by Namesake.

And who's going to pay big bucks for under par acting and production?
