Could be. Have you seen Nefarious? When I saw it, I didn't know
it was written purposefully with a Christian point of view. I
just heard that it was a good movie and thought it hit the
Christian worldview perfectly! Then I heard about the making

I'm familiar with Heiser - have heard him on podcasts - and discussed

my views - and when I challenge other's views. :-)
