[MD] nature or religion?

Arlo,

I thought the movie was great.  I'm going to see it again, because I didn't know there were two showings: 3D & 2D, and I wandered into the regular version.  I  really didn't get it.  I'm as dumb as a door nail.

So, as is typical, begins the smear and the fear. Prediction for a story that will appear in the next few months: The Na'vi are demons, and James Cameron is a satanist who is trying to murder Jesus. (Of course there will always be those who get all pissy when someone does anything but masturbate their self-proclaimed cultural and personal superiority.) But I think his fears over overacting, complacency is the strongest force in the cosmos, and the majority of the West is opiated so thoroughly it will take more than a sci-fi movie to have any real number of people challenge their status quo.
