Belief in a supernatural source of evil is unnecessary -We alone are capable of every wickedness -

Fundamentalist Christians really crack me up. If you can't watch a movie, because you think it might disturb your faith, then your faith isn't very strong in the first place.
I think you should pray more, and do some Hell Marys. Head bunt the wall after each Hell Mary to help you stay strong in these dire times of evil and Satan's trickery. -

opposing abortion, birth control, gay marriage
We've been against those things for 2000 years, if anything the Fundies are copying us in those matters (while discarding everything else and replacing it with their counterfeit brand of Christianity).
universal health care
The Church has no problem with universal health care where did you hear otherwise?

So you don't want to be lumped in with people who believe disgusting, ignorant harmful things, not because you're against these beliefs but because you feel they have been stolen from you? Classic. -

The Catholic Church doesn't believe in "disgusting ignorant harmful things". When the Church makes these decisions it does so with the best interests of humanity in mind.

HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always laugh when I see one group claiming to be christian say the others are all fake. All christian seem to do this. I thought you all worshiped the same god?
How can one group of Christians be right and the others wrong? -

We do, it's just that Catholicism is the best way to go about it. We have 7 Sacraments, they only have 2. Our Priests have apostolic succession (a direct lineage of the priesthood from the Apostles till now), they don't. We have the Eucharist, they only have 'communion'. We have Sacred Tradition as well as Sacred Scripture, they only have Scripture. Our Bibles have 72 books, theirs have only 66. We have a Pope (St Peter's spiritual descendants), they don't.
They can still get to heaven, it's just that they are making it harder for themselves by limiting their resources. Well that and they're all obsessed with that End Times Left Behind Rapture crap.
Anywho, the Catholic Church has been around for 2000 years, Protestants have been around for 500 years, and Fundamentalism is about 150 years old.

I'm a Christian. I like Hellboy.
Okay, please keep some things in mind: Hellboy was born a demon and raised Catholic (he came over to Earth when he was a baby). In a sense, he gets a bad rap because of what he was born as, not as what he does. The whole first movie is about his choice to be good when people see him as a demon and when the villain (Rasputin) tempts him and tries to take control over him.
Not once in either movie does he purposely act demonic. The time he does is because he's being controlled.
He carries around a crossnot for protection, but because he's a Catholic. This isn't heavily touched on, mind you, which is why I believe it isn't for protection.
The good he does isn't out of redemption, it is because he was raised to do good by his adopted father.
Hellboy is the ONLY demon portrayed in a positive light and it is to show that even people from a bad parentage can do good things.
No, Hellboy isn't the best role model because he cusses, disobeys his adopted father (on occasion), smokes, etc., but that's because he's an action hero. Many do that without being a demons. Actually, his acts of rebellion come from him being portrayed as a teenager, despite looking older. He and his kind age slower than humans. Sneaks off to his girl, smokes when he's not supposed to, sulks, etc. He's like a big red teenager.
See, I think this movie is misunderstood, much like the character. You see it as being demonic and Satan promoting and that's exactly how people see him despite the fact that deeper down, it isn't.
Okay, if you don't pay attention to anything else I wrote in the post, I at least want you to read this: this IS a work of fiction and if you try to take your religious beliefs from it, you need to reevaluate your beliefs. Also, I've disagreed with movies before and still liked them.
I also want to sayI understand where Hellboy is coming from. My father, while not a demon, wasn't a very nice guy. You know that guy in the family who no one ever talks about? That's my dad in my family. I am very thankful my family doesn't think of me like they think of him. And that's the way it is with Hellboy. People don't want to see him as his own person. People just want to see him as a demon, destined to do demon things and be a demon.
