And yes, Deism = “can’t we all just get along” in my book, and I’m down for that.

It caused an uproar in the Muslim world (even though Mohammed is never seen in the film), but no death threats that I recall. Perhaps if this latest movie is actually produced by a Muslim entity, it won’t be as controversial.

And I well remember the uproar over The Last Temptation of Christ, since I was assigned to review it for a local paper in Chicago. The entire street in front of the Biograph Theater was shut down and filled with screaming protesters. You could barely even get to the entrance of the theater, the clear area was so small. And when I left the theater, I was pelted with eggs by our good Christian friends. No one threatened to kill me, but it was certainly a very nasty scene.

Just another argument for Deism, in my book.
