My Opinion of Avatar

I did not really think I would be a fan of Avatar, but I watched it with my husband earlier this evening anyway. I had read several places that it was almost satanic in it's ritualistic worship scenes. Honestly, after watching it, I did not get that from it at all.

I rather took from it an enforcement of my belief that life is about more than we see. Our bodies are only mortal while our souls are eternal. Further more, we are all connected through life...through Christ. I really liked when the natives would say to each other, "I see you". When they said this, they were speaking about looking into each other, seeing each other's souls. I think if we did this more often in our lives, compassion would be more common.


In the movie the humans get to have their own Avatars, and for the main character his Avatar body works better than his human body. This makes me think of Philippians 3: 21 "By His power to rule all things, He (Christ) will change our humble bodies and make them like His own glorious body." Our heavenly bodies will be much better than our earthly ones.

I would love to hear some more thoughts on this movie....any one?
