There has been a saturation of English victorian era movies like The Queen and whole pile of other movies. Maybe America is just a bit tired of English period pieces right now?

And I think trying to stir up Christian and religious animosity to get a film extra attention has been used so many times over the last decades that it no longer works.

I'm sure a lot of British films didn't get a release in America either. Is that because of religious America too?

With movies like the Saw series and other horror and macabre movies showing in U.S cinemas all the time, it's almost laughable that these industry types still keep trying to make out that the religious christians have any power over what gets released to cinemas and what doesn't these days.

again...are you kidding?? here in california, we had a ballot measure to be voted on that would keep californian gays from getting married legally. the mormons of utah poured millions of dollars into california to make sure it was defeated, and the religious right from other states did the same. i ignorantly believed that this was no big deal, because here in calif. i figured this being a progessive state, it had no legs to stand on. and there were alot of people stunned by the decision to outlaw it. I AM MARRIED (26 years) HETEROSEXUAL MALE, and i was stunned by the lack of progressive thought, and personel freedom.

The numbers of scientists and sheeple that believe in evolution is not the result of them being more intelligent than those who believe the evidence more reasonably supports creation. In fact, the majority view is most often held by fools. For proof, one only needs to look at the democratically elected leaders in the world.....who are elected by the majority.

One can also look to the bible which states, "the fool says in his heart, there is no God."

i can't believe what i'm reading here, are you people seriously that stupid?

"Philosopher" is not in any way synonymous with "witch" or "sorcerer" in the UK. The phrase "philosopher's stone" refers to the quest of alchemy, for the substance or "stone" that would transmute base metals to gold. Also thought of as a perfecting elixir which would enable eternal life & as a metaphor for unified wisdom.
Given some of the responses to Harry Potter in the USA, that by mentioning magic in a traditional mythological fashion it is satanic (lol so hard I could pee), I expect Rowling probably did want to avoid providing the loons with any further ammunition. "Sorcerer" was well within the same category of potential criticism that was already being ignored by her US fanbase. Alchemy might have opened the moronic debate all over again.
Btw, how anyone could take Rowling's work seriously is beyond me, & as satanic? ROFL! But I'd be willing to bet a teste that those that do are part of the 61% in question.

How weak in faith must the 'American Christian' be to be threatened by a film?

If religion wasn't a control system, the movie would face this kind of censorship. It just shows the sham of valueless Christian values.

This is quite ridiculous. What's next? Ban Star Wars in case people begin to follow 'The Force'?

It was the US film distributors that did not buy the film......because they did not foresee any substantial profit from it.......so it was a business decision....nothing more. The OP is reading far too much into this.

I believe in creation and have seen films like this all my life. I've had evolution rammed down my throat from the time I was born. You cannot escape the evolutionists propaganda in North America, or anywhere for that matter.

If the US distributors bought the film it would be shown in the US and people would watch it....and hopefully go to the right source to hear the explanation of the evidence from a creation science perspective.

To the OP. If you think the USA is a backwards society you are very ill informed. Also, the USA is the envy of the civilized world. That's why people spend weeks hiding and starving inside the hulls of cargo ships to get here. That's why people hide in the wheel wells of airplanes crossing the oceans to get hear....and sometimes freezing to death in the process. That's why people launch their bath tubs from the shores of Cuba to try and get to the shores of the USA. That's why Mexicans have died crossing deserts to get to the USA. If the USA is so backwards and has nothing to be jealous or envious of, then why would people risk their lives to get here...LOL.

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is wrong. There are many other theories that make more sense than the atheist-monkey-god Darwin.

You guys can believe you evolved millions of years from monkeys to humans. But I know they are not my ancestors.

I don't understand the reaction here, since when do movie distributors speak for an entire country? Or some specific religious watchdog organization for that matter.

Personally the movie would draw very little interest from me, it does not sound very entertaining. I would have to think movie distributors are more concerned about dollars than anything else.

Coincidentally I just finished reading the origin of species for a third time in my life. For the record, after reading this again I am even less convinced in the theory on the macro level.

I do believe evolution exists on micro levels, that much can be proven. Not to mention the incredible odds neccessary for abiogenesis. No less incredible than the belief in God.
