A Pandora's Box

A few of my friends and I were discussing the comments made by Seattle-area Pastor Mark Driscoll about the movie Avatar.

Watch.


Delving into the film's worldview, Driscoll did not mince words as he called Avatar the "most demonic, satanic film" he had ever seen. I agree 100% with his analysis of the film's overt paganism. To be more precise, Pantheism is the belief that Nature and God are identical. "All is God" a pantheist might say. Only through nature would one find the sacred essence of existence. From a Protestant perspective, this is false doctrine that stands in direct opposition to Scripture. What do you think about Driscoll's statment? Too strong? Not strong enough? Or just right?
