For The Bible Tells Me So - Anyone ever Hear of This Movie?

[romantico]

Has Anyone heard of this movie? I was making a new list of movies to rent on Netflix and discovered this. Sounds really good.

Product Description
Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle Interntional Film Festival, Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based solely upon a significant (and often malicious) misinterpretation of the Bible. As the film notes, most Christians live their lives today without feeling obliged to kil anyone who works on the Sabbath or eats shrimp.
Through the experience of five very normal, very Christian , very American families - including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson - we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. With commentary by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, For The Bible Tells Me So offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.

3. I see that the grand old homophobe, Billy Graham, is shown in the trailer.

Why he gets a pass from many here blows my mind. Decades of his homophobia from him personally and from his ministry.

4. i saw this movie

It was awesome - parts were hysterical but many made me cry as well. Some great stories about families evolving and accepting and loving their gay kids or friends.

Yes, there are some scenes with homphobic assholes in them but they just reveal these people for what they are.

very good movie and i recommend it highly. I actually asked my mother to go see it - she said she cried a lot too!!

Peace

7. I saw the movie

a couple of months ago, and I thought it would be more about the militants of the church and their anti-gay agenda, but it followed I believe four particular cases and their journey. I left the movie feeling it was well done. The opening scene was good.

It's well worth viewing.
