Wow!! The movie was the filthiest pro-Christian ultra-right wing propagande piece since Moses walked down the pike. And this clueless reviewer is complaining that it was ANTI-Christian!?
Folks, we have gotta eradicate these Christian Right freaks portayed in the movie, once and for all. They are more rabid and deadly then 1000 hell-bent Muslims! ;~))
Besides, this ellegedly Christian "parent" is such a dumbass, he/she actually forced his/her own kids to watch a violent R-rated movie all the way through. Yeah, I call that a 'Christian' all right. -

Correction your Honor, neither I nor my spouse forced or ever will force our children to watch anything. They are both very mature elementary school students and they are allowed to make their own choices and decisions. This is how the Lord deems it and thus how we Deem the Lord. Good Day to You Sir! -

I think the reason you didn't like this movie is you didn't get any of the obvious elements that made it so good. DUH!
Really, I had to be sure you were serious with your remarks they were so ridiculous. I'm still not sure if your post was serious or overt sarcasm (because these boards are filled with people who really are that stupid).
Try this- You find corrupt police unrealistic? Seriously?
- You are shocked that people trying to be good sometimes do immoral acts? Ha. Funny.
- Negative spin on Christians? How about the guy outraged over how Christians are represented yet is upset his kids didn't enjoy this movie about sex, drugs and violence then uses the F word to describe the experience.
I could go on but I think I've wasted enough of my time.
Seriously, are these people for real?

Here's the real answer to all your questions -
They were really atheists. They weren't Christians and didn't believe in hocus-pocus.
I think your assessment of the movie is terrible. It sure had plot holes, but nothing remotely linking to Christianity. -

- Why would the evil Catholic man hide all his money on a dead body instead of in the good Christian girl's suitcase like he did with the toy animals? DUH!
ROFLMAO..again
What are you in the triple K club? Who says things like that in this day and age?
And wait? What? You watched Transsiberian with your good Christian kids???

The TC fails. Not all Christians are Saints, and not all Christians are simple-minded idiots. I'm a Baptist, and I also admit I'm no Saint. That basically just takes your whole post and makes it null n' void. As for the plot and such, well. I don't even think the directors/writers cared too much. A lot of directors and writers will just take a great movie that makes you think, and add tons of small things just to either piss you off or make you over-analyze it.

I can't believe all these people took the original post seriously. A look at the poster's name will alone tell you that his entire post was a gag, and you all fell for it hook, line and sinker. No real American evengelical - as the OP pretends to be - would call themselves "America loves war".

This has to be the funniest post evermy wife and I literally LOLed
We both Christians, we were never offended by this movie, we both liked it a lot. I know some folks who are missionaries.they are not saints.they mess up like anyone.we're human..but what is cool is that they are willing to share their faith and God's love..Woody Harrelson did a wonderful job portraying a man who loved God, his church, and his ministry.and of course trains.I gave this movie 9 stars!!
An atheist cannot guard his faith too carefully. Dangers lie in wait for him on every side. -

There's nothing funny about this post. Just because we don't agree on a particular movie it doesn't mean that I AM A RETARD! Films are all about perception and I am very offended that people choose to ridicule me for my own unique point of view. What ever happened to freedom of liberty and the pursuit of freedom of speech?

"What ever happened to freedom of liberty and the pursuit of freedom of speech?"
So you are allowed to speak your opinions but others are not. That is supposed to be freedom of speach
If people think your opinions are stupid they are free to say so.
You must be living very isolated by the world if you think christians doesnt sin a lot. There are even priests who are raping children and you are talking about smoking! Grow up! Havent you noticed that most of the italian mafiaguys are christians who both kill, smoke, drink and curse a lot.

Wow. It still amazes me how many people just cannot seem to grasp the concept of sarcasm.
Yes, on IMDb I notice lots of folks don't seem to get sarcasm. I personally found the OP's post a bit silly, not uproariously funny or anything.
As when did Catholics stop being Christian? We believe in Christ, too - so does that not make us Christian, too?
Everything else he said was silly, too.
Reminds me of a joke. A street walker comes into a convent. One old nun whispers to the other, "she's a prostitute". The other nun sounds upset replying, "What?"
The first nun repeats (a bit louder), "I said she's a prostitute!" The nun a bit hard of hearing calms down immediately, replying, "Oh, that's okay. For a moment I thought you said 'she's a protestant!'". lol -

Excuse me Mister jabberttp Sir. I don't think your joke that pokes fun at hearing impaired people is funny at all and is in fact, somewhat discriminatory. Furthermore, just because you do not share the same perception of this film as most people, it is not polite to refer to others as "silly" or worse yet as "prostitutes". A little decorum please Sir. DUH!
