For the Bible Tells Me So
This movie surprised me. I didn't plan on seeing it, but my girlfriend who is a big documentary fan rented it. I'd almost felt like I'd heard enough on this subject. I was sick of watching people use the Bible as a weapon to support their un-loving and un-Christian beliefs. I didn't want to give people like that any further attention I thought. Not that I don't think we need to find a way to stop this kind of behavior and thinking, but most news I see doesn't do much to help the problem. It's usually just a sick exploitation piece of watching people who hate so we can hate them back.
But the approach of this movie is not like that. It's not some sensational news story like you would find on Dateline or something like that. Here are real inspirational stories of homosexual people and their families facing the people who hate them (without even really knowing why) with love instead of hating them back. That doesn't mean submission. These are brave people who are stepping up and making a statement, but they are stronger reflections of Christ than those who hate them and claim they do so because of the will of God.
You will see some amazing redemption stories from people who you might normally stereotype because of their beliefs or background. You realize that people do not fit into little boxes of our definitions and that everyone deserves love.
I highly recommend this movie.
Rating: 9/10
