So prove the bible is true in every way.

You can't, really. It's a bunch of stories, parables and whatnot. Like The Da Vinci Code, it has places and historical figures that did exist, but beyond that.. it's a fairy tale that might be true, but probably not.

Just depends on your perspective. Why we should pretend all the stuff in the bible actually happened without being able to prove it is beyond me. Whynot label it fiction as such?

Why is it more important, just because it's been around a long time? Because lots of people believe it?

Why would that make it any more or less important to question?
My whole point is this is an insult to devote christians who take the bible literally...I never said i did...but i certainly wouldn't go around saying it is a WORK OF FICTION...that is just disrespectful....especially a movie you are a part of and just possibly the Person who make the movie right along with some of the staring actors may take offense...I guess political correctness doesn't count for shit now a days...I would share my thought on Athiests but i have respect for all beliefs so i hold my tongue....
