Bonk Jobs Have No Sense of Humor

Some Christian teens can't forgive film

A handful of local moviegoers thinks the satire Saved! pokes fun at their faith.

Wow...nothing get's past teen Bonk Jobs these days.

"I was absolutely offended by it," says Bill Ware, 18, a recent graduate of First Academy, which is affiliated with First Baptist Church of Orlando.

"It pushed a dangerous and inaccurate stereotype of mainstream Christianity," he says. "It was trying to rip up hard-line Christianity and push a more accepting, pluralistic view."

Dude, you are SO not helping your cause. Thanks!

Ware says he worries about the movie's effect because "mainstream Americans allow movies to shape their views on this subject. It's dangerous and negative -- and can do a great deal of harm."

Umm...should someone tell this kid that it wasn't a documentary? Nahhhh...that'd just ruin all the fun.

Many Christians in major cities, where the film opened June 4, have criticized the portrayal of their faith. Their reactions have been much like that of Jay Lumpkins, 18, another graduate of First Academy. All the Christians in Saved! "seemed brainwashed," he says. "They couldn't really think for themselves."

Huh. Maybe it is a documentary. =)
