Oh well, let us have our moment. Anti-christians get the rest of the decade.

From what I remember, the reaction after the initial screening in certain theaters by Christian groups was that they were not overly happy or unhappy with the film. In fact, most of the people that were interviewed said they left the theater in amazement. The tone of their voices told the story: breathless and wonderment. They seemed pleased with the way the film was shot and the acting. And I guess for some, it cemented their faith.
Not sure if I even want to see the film, but I thought the reactions were quite interesting.
