   Thanks for the correction. It's been a long time since I saw it.

   Why do you think my comment was silly?  As I said earlier:   
      
   [I'm not a movie maven, but even I know that moviemakers don't   
   set up shots like that by accident; it's planned carefully:   
   actor on the left of the frame, actor on the right, large   
   crucifix in the center.   
      
   Then the mention of the 'inferior' whatever it was, and the   
   jerking back of the thumb, ostensibly toward the bad guys   
   somewhere outside in that direction.   
      
   It was *clearly* a consciously thought out insult at   
   Christianity. That's a no-brainer as far as I am concerned.]   
      
   If you can't see that it was a conscious insult, I have to say   
   that you are kidding yourself.
