Indeed. On a side note, I'm the first person in generations to not follow the Mormon faith. |

Wow Mormons have some strange rules. Just like Jews. Can't eat pork or beef or any of that good stuff. |

Even after watching the movie, i see SOME elements of potential atheism, but other than that, not really.
i honestly disliked the movie. my exact words when it was over were "what the f**k? did i really just spend 10 bucks on this?" no joke, kids. |

Thats what their hot dogs are made out of. They don't eat pigs because it clearly states in the bible not to, that it's the foulest of animals. |

And that's also mainly Orthodox Jews; most Reform Jews do not adhere to Kosher.

Or Conservative Jews, which is way more common than Orthodox, as that gets to be stupidly restrictive with the need for girls to cover their arms and legs and all that. Most of the Jews I know follow Kosher (or used to), but don't adhere to the rest of that as it's excessive.
I like people's misconceptions of Judaism. |

You're talking about Mr. Mormons are weird, right?
Jews really don't have that many weird rules...I don't know who told him that. No weirder than anyone else. |

okay. its just a MOVIE! movies arent real. I believe in God and I personaly LOVE fantasy movies like this one. If you don't want your children to watch it then don't let them. If they sneak out and see it anyways, well then you have two problems. a. you fear for your chiclds beliefs, and b. your child lied to you. SOOO I think that theres nothing wrong with a good fantasy movie, After all...Isnt that what God is? I fantasy until proven?
