I think other Christian groups have jumped on the bandwagon. I know Focus on Family has made a statement about it and plans to say more.

I just love these two statements. The both couldn't be further from my own values dealing with learning and experience.

The evangelical-activist group Focus on the Family, which plans to release a statement about the film early next week, says it's in agreement with Christian leaders and organizations on the issue. Adam Holz, associate editor of Focus on the Family's Plugged In magazine, told MTV News he fears the movie would "plant seeds" to "ultimately encourage some fans to reject God."
