   Who gives a fuck? It's a fictionally constructed movie, about a story modeled   
   after other mid-eastern flood myths. The Washington Times is a Moonie house   
   organ, anyway. Neither the bible, nor the Noah movie have anything to do with   
   the Rev. Moon's    
   cosmology nor theology. Will all of the evangelicals cancel their   
   cable.satellite TV when Noah is released?
