Here are some interesting quotes about how they interpret March of the Penguins.

On the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily.com, an opponent of abortion wrote that the movie "verified the beauty of life and the rightness of protecting it."

At a conference for young Republicans, the editor of National Review urged participants to see the movie because it promoted monogamy. A widely circulated Christian magazine said it made "a strong case for intelligent design."

[COLOR=sky blue]To Andrew Coffin, writing in the widely circulated Christian publication World Magazine, that is a winning argument for the theory that life is too complex to have arisen through random selection.

"That any one of these eggs survives is a remarkable feat - and, some might suppose, a strong case for intelligent design," he wrote. "It's sad that acknowledgment of a creator is absent in the examination of such strange and wonderful animals. But it's also a gap easily filled by family discussion after the film."[/color]

"Some of the circumstances they experienced seemed to parallel those of Christians," he said of the penguins. "The penguin is falling behind, is like some Christians falling behind. The path changes every year, yet they find their way, is like the Holy Spirit."

Mr. Hunt has provided a form on the Web site lionsofgod.com that can be downloaded and taken to the film. "Please use the notebook, flashlight and pen provided," it says, "to write down what God speaks to you as He speaks it to you."

Richard A. Blake, co-director of the film studies program at Boston College and the author of "The Lutheran Milieu of the Films of Ingmar Bergman" said that like many films, "March of the Penguins" was open to a religious interpretation.

"You get a sense of these animals - following their natural instincts - are really exercising virtue that for humans would be quite admirable," he said. "I could see it as a statement on monogamy or condemnation of gay marriage or whatever the current agenda is."

Although, maybe they're right. Maybe it does outline strong Christian ideals. When one penguin loses a chick, they will often try to steal another from a neighbor. Better yet, each mating season, they fuck, the chick is born, and once able to swim, mother, father and chick all go their separate ways, never to see each other again. A new sacred family unit every year!

*Penguins are superior.

What a pretty rainbow post. I did not know you were gay. This is ironic considering how much you seem to respect the heterosexual Christian penguins. That a disgusting gay like you is filled with such self-loathing as to so admire a creature whose very existence is proof of the wrongness of your deviant lifestyle is, in itself, proof of intelligent design.
