Review of For the Bible Tells Me So (2007) by Andrewd. — 13 Jan 2008
Devout Christians need not feel belittled watching this film. It takes their beliefs seriously but argues convincingly that most people have not thought this subject through exhaustively. Many people only consider the issue when a loved one comes out of the closet.
The most painful journey is sometimes made by those whose struggle to understand comes in the wake of tragedy. The film is hard on those who have practiced spiritual violence, such as James Dobson (Focus On the Family) Jerry Fallwell.
Religious people should realize that the Bible should not be used as a weapon of assault. Our words have power and if used irresponsibly, have the potential to lead to tragedy. The film expresses clearly the conviction that it is perfectly possible to be Christian and gay.
This film is clear in its message but knows how to say things to win hearts and minds.
