I wonder if they released t-shirts, devotional books, bible study guides and such for [b]To End All Wars
I guess Christians are materialistic just like everyone else, and the people in the 'Christian' merchandising companies are meeting that need. Oh to be different than the world~
[b]To End All Wars
(Trivia: The guy who directed it is the son of Loren Cunningham, founder of YWAM, the missions organization I work for)
In any case, what would we do without study companions, t-shirts, sound-tracks, invitations to speaking events, stickers, etc.? I'm not sure we could call ourselves evangelicals anymore; it's hard to imagine Jesus and the Apostles using a different message to disseminate the Gospel.

Only kidding, of course. I think the real reason is that we're a huge market to the business world, so they jump on films for opportunities to reproduce related junk, thinking it 'speaks our language,' or something like that.
Yeah, it is pretty rediculous. My local Christian bookstore sells thick black punk rock looking Christian wrist bands.
The one film related Christian merchandise I have though was pretty clever was when the Passion of the Christ came out. It was a shirt, and it said, "If you liked the movie, you will love the book."
"And you think you are radical because you wear a T-Shirt." -Paul Washer
