"As for folks that let their catholicism get in the way of them enjoying the movie, it sounds like the same people that think Harry Potter is satanic. It's just a story folks."<P>Basically, I could not agree more with that statement. People need to learn to relax and realize that a story is a story and if it happens to be about a war than any guy leading the forces of "good" in the story can be paralleled to Jesus or God and any guy leading the forces of "evil" in the story can be paralleled to Satan. People just tend to overreact and assume that the parallels were intended because of their devotion to their religion. Other people can be fine with it if they are intelligent enough to realize the parallels were not intentional and are therefore not offensive. I can attest to that as I am myself a Catholic, and am just leaving a very Catholic household (graduation on June 8, CANT WAIT!!!!!).<P>As for parallels to WW2 I actually did my term paper on parallels from events related to world wars one and two and if anyone would like to read it and give me some suggestions on how to revise it a little more just PM me. Thanks for listening to this rant guys.<P>Dondagnirion<BR>"There is no spoon."
