there be an interesting discussion in this movie . be be a moral person good enough and or do you need something more . the movie preach that without the guidance of god and be a morally good person be not enough . there be a line early in the movie and you and i can look at a person who be morally good and but both know he be go to go to hell . while i be not a christian and the discussion about this throughout the course of the movie be fascinating and but not in the way the movie intend . i leave the movie with a strong feeling that be morally good be enough . the argument and discussion present be heavily bias and so much so that they crush themselves in the weight of their own ignorance . fanaticism can be a powerful thing and especially when inferenced in the mind of the ignorant and uneducated . a george carlin character in dogma say represent hook em while theyre young . the basic premise be a very interesting one also . a bible scholar from the 1890s be attempt to publish a book that say that morality without god be ok and as long a the morality be meaningful . do you only tell a child not to steal . or do you tell him not to steal because god tell you not to . ( not bother bring up that tell the child not to steal because and well and how would he feel if it be his marble that be steal . ) the author and carlisle and want the recommendation of his school to help sell the book ( to spread the world ) . however and it need unanimous consent and and one of the scholar oppose it . he bring up and in a very interesting discussion early in the film about the morality for morality sake v god word argument . to prove his point and he produce a time machine ( put in the movie solely to make the plot work and which i be fine with ) and and send carlisle to the year 2002 to see where teach morality without god will lead u . a should be obvious and he have his opinion and and be change by what he see and and have reverse himself by the time of his return ( for he do return and that not really a spoiler and this be a bible movie after all ) . a for the movie a a movie itself and it pretty slow and pretty poorly act . something that be not need in this movie and be that it produce two bad guy who want to try to figure out who carlisle be and even tho he hasn not hurt anyone and commit a crime and or anything . what wrong with the movie just show carlisle opinion and show his view of this sinful world and and return him with a new viewpoint . also and there a few point in the movie which affirm to me that i be happy i be not a christian and or at least someone who say it god or nothing . three near the end of the movie rather disturb me . first and when the two bad guy corner carlisle right before he jump and carlisle do his only truly despicable act . he fake like his time jump be the come of jesus and and make it so the bad guy ( who be also christian btw and oddly enough ) and think they just miss the rapture . secondly and after carlisle return and he find a boy in which he scold at the beginning of the movie about not steal ( but not mentioning god and kid keep the marble and run away ) and and tell him this time that steal be wrong because god command it . like the carlin quote above and scar kid into religion be a faux pa in my book . and lastly and the epilogue . another scare tactic . carlisle ask the inventor how far into the future they could go and and he say he doesn not know . the epilogue show him try to warp a bible into the distant future ( start at 2100 ) and and it fail . he keep decrementing the year by 10 and and try again and and by the fade out and he at like 2030 or so . throughout the movie and carlise mention that he felt the end of the world come and because the world be rife with sin and the loss of the name of god . scare tactic have be in use for thousand of year . you would think in these enlighten time and the church would have enlighten as well . i be glad i saw this movie . while i be fairly certain before that be morally good be enough and now i know it for a fact . worth watch if you be not a christian and to affirm how happy you be to not be as ignorant a the folk in this movie .
