1. Christianity is not the only possible moral compass
2. Opressive varieties of Christianity are not moral at all
3. Not pushing Christianity is not the same as being anti-Christian
4. Not every book needs to have a moral compass at all. A great many
really good books are simply entertainment.

Your vast store of ignorance and prejudice is astounding.

Thanks Jon, I agree entirely.

It is ridiculous for the Vatican critic, I think it was, to say that
relationships aren't important, they are vital to this trilogy. Just as
much nonsense as the other comment I found so ridiculous, that
"hope simply does not exist". Maybe he/she saw another movie with the
same name?
