Roma Downey: Why we cut Satan from ‘Son of God’

[hrmjustin]

Roma Downey

RNS) I played an angel on “Touched by an Angel” for almost a decade, and I’ve learned a thing or two about spiritual warfare:

We shine his light but the darkness exists.
The devil is real.
When you are trying to do something good in the world there will always be opposition.

Tired of cursing the darkness, my husband Mark and I wanted to shine a light. To do this, we set up a production company called LightWorkers Media. “The Bible” miniseries, born out of this intention and released last year, grew so popular that we were able to make it into our Jesus film, “Son of God.”

“The Bible” series was in its third week when Jesus began to appear on the big screen. There was great excitement that Jesus was coming, with our trailers, various talk shows and even Twitter buzzing with anticipation.

1. I've read Roma Downey is actually a big supporter of the President...

Which would make that depiction all the more unfortunate.

3. When I first saw that character my reaction was that they knew what they wrre doing.

7. I looked and couldn't find anything about that, but

she did support a former IRA leader for president of ireland in 2011.

2. Something about this couple makes me really uneasy.

The really appear to be evangelizing in an aggressive way and doing it pretty successfully.

But this whole Satan looks like Obama thing is the most disturbing part, imo.

Anyway, this is not a movie I am likely to see unless I can see it at home and be blasphemous in private.

4. The character is what bothered me. They knew what they wrre doing.

5. How could she be surprised that the resemblance between Obama & their actor/Satan

would cause an uproar? How could SHE not see it?

Some days I just shake my head in perpetuity.

[hrmjustin]

6. I think she is lying.

[Walk away]

8. Why can't everyone just believe in science? nt

[hrmjustin]

9. Well I do believe in science. And I believe in God.

[Walk away]

10. I said Just science. But if you feel the need to testify...

then that is very much like your average religious person.

[hrmjustin]

11. Lol!

[demigoddess]

13. if that happened then some people

would turn science into a religion.

[cbayer]

14. Some already have, lol.

[skepticscott]

16. Bullshit

Name us any who have done so, or admit that this is just another horseshit lie you've thrown out there, to try to bash and denigrate rational thought and thinkers and drag them down to the deluded, superstitious level of thinking that you think so much of.

Come on, cbayer..for once, back up your jibes and your anti-rationalist bigotry with some facts. If you can.

[cbayer]

12. You mean believe in science and nothing else?

15. Creepy. n/t

17. I agree it is creepy.
