Oh look! "Charles Darwin film 'too controversial for religious America'"?

I asked a similar question earlier.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Akw.E...

I'm glad I don't live in America(Or Jesusland as I affectionately call it)

Being too frightened to even look at something that is slightly different to what they want to believe shows why America is sneered at in the world today!!

The rest of the world follows the words of Aristotle - "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it".

Which sadly means America is seen in the words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - "Nothing is worse than active ignorance".

What terribly weak faith they must have!!!

Do you care what the rest of the world thinks

about America in light of this news?

--Yes. Even though I'm not religious.

I don't consider anything surrounding Darwin controversial,

with the exception of the lies brought about by Creationists.

I would feel deep shame about it except that I strongly suspect this to be a publicity stunt. And it will work. If you want to insure the success of a form of art in America, ban it. They'll be showing it here in America to sold out houses.

Obedience is not highly admired here.

it's not actually the real reason it didn't initialy get a backer

The film young victoria which is of a similar genre didn't initially get a backer

This one does now and in fact there was a small bidding war in the end

The answer: No. Why should I care what the rest of the world thinks of America when most of the countries have refugees fleeing to it? Or want our kind of democracy? Or want our aid when disaster strikes?

I'd be so embarassed if I was american. I hope atheists become the majority in the US soon, the atheist americans like the ones on here make me laugh and I like their attitude! The fundie christian ones though are just terrifying!

Fundies clearly have too much dominance in the US.

It really makes me understand the fervor by which people like Richard Dawkins are driven.

Seriously America?

That's according to the producer. Sounds like a sour loser to me.

Maybe the real reason has more to do with the merits of the movie and not it's "controversial" nature?
