For the Bible Tells Me So is a documentary film which premiered in 2007.

 

Here is some basic information about it:

 

** Director: Daniel G. Karslake

** Writers: Daniel G. Karslake and Helen R. Mendoza

** Run time: 95 minutes

 

In this film, we follow five American - and Christian - families where something unexpected happens:

 

** A male person realizes that he is more interested in men than in women

** A female person realizes that she is more interested in women than in men

 

How do they deal with this situation? In this film, we see how they try to deal with the new situation; we also see how the people around them respond when they learn about the new situation.

 

Many persons are interviewed. Archive footage is also used. While different opinions are expressed in the film, there is a general trend, a general message, which says:

 

** Let these people do what they want, even if it is hard for you to understand them

** Do not turn your back on them, just because they feel they have to follow their hearts

 

Some viewers may like this film, because they agree with the general message, while other viewers may dislike this film, because they do not agree with the general message.

 

Whether you agree with the general message or not, whether you are Christian or not, this film is worth watching, because it presents important and useful information about the topic.
