The answer they'll give is that it was edited for "time constraints," but it's merely because I guess they think someone will complain if they play that sound bite. The radio does the same thing. They'll play Switchfoot on the secular stations because it doesn't mention Jesus. If it did, they wouldn't play it.

well, I dunno...that phrase is sort of...well, blasphemous. think of all the angry phone calls they probably would have gotten from Christians for showing that.

Yes, that's probably the reason. TNT did a major editing job to the film in terms of profanity and blasphemous uses of God's name. For instance, Godd----" got edited to "d---" and (I'm not kidding) "Jesus Christ" became "Judas priest." There were others, but I don't feel like including them right now...

I hear ya, Shatterheart. I was just saying that a lot of people noted that the major dialogue changes were somewhat weird. I also think they were weird, but hey, it was nice to not have to hear it.

Probably because people would think it was blasphemy.

I almost feel sorry for them. They really can't win. If they leave that phrase in, they upset many conservative christians. If they cut it out, they anger the many matrix fans.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.
