i saw the movie the first weekend it was in widespread distro.......
i'm not catholic but i am a follower of Christ.  at this point i'm not 
affiliated with a denomination, really, but i try to attend church 
Sunday mornings.  i focus more on a personal relationship with 
God rather than ritual, legalistic traditions, etc.

i loved the movie.  at no point did anyone say anything i could see 
as blasphemous, and it was in fact quite reverent towards actual 
deities.
Today on "Fresh Air" on NPR on my way between school and work 
i heard an interview with Kevin Smith.
it was a wonderful interview...
one great quote he had was "church is good.  God is better."
Smith himself has a lot of very good things to say about faith and 
his own relationship to spirituality.  it was a very informative 
interview, as most Fresh Air interviews i've heard have been.
