My flatmate suggested that we watch a movie on her laptop yesterday afternoon & she chose Dogma. I had never seen it before, but I remember once at university I was talking to a fellow cheerleader & student and this film was what he based his ideas about God on.

I was slightly surprised when my flatmate asked me mid-film if the things said and done in this movie were fairly accurate. She hadn't any background in the Bible, etc. she explained.


I told her what I knew, but after our brief interaction on this topic, I felt so dissatisfied. Felt like there was so much more to be said on the subject.


I still find it rather...interesting?...that this is the second individual that I've come across who has thought perhaps Dogma provided some factual information on reality. There is indeed a disclaimer at the beginning of the film, but the whole thing must still be a bit misleading?
