I always notice that satan is very scary and ugly. But the bible tells us he was a beautiful angel. As previously stated, Jesus was not Caucasian either...

I think we have to look at it all as a whole and not part by part. They are just hitting the high points anyway

I understand that we are all God's people, and I agree. I just don't believe in all this "politically correct" crap that is meant to brainwash and homogenize the population. If assumptions are made on a supposedly accurate depiction of Samson, the assumption of him being black is a very long reach. I think the fact that Samson was portrayed by a black actor, who was having a relationship with a white woman, wasn't an attempt to give an accurate account of history, but had another agenda. Just my two cents, hope I'm wrong.

I know exactly what you mean because I thought the same thing. Sometimes the people behind the scenes seem to booby trap you into thinking they have an alternate agenda with the black/white thing just so they can pin it on you and say you are just racist when you say something about it. They could just have easily got a big, muscular white or other "person of color" to play the part of Samson. In the end, I just chalked it up to them making Samson stand out amongst the others. Whatever...

This was my first thought when I watched it and I really won't say it's one way or the other. I did happen to catch Mark Burnett and his wife Roma Downey on one of the Sunday morning shows. I was unaware that Burnett is a Christian. They appeared to be genuine and didnt fall into the trap of debating the critics. They seemed to want to get people thinking about the word. They also welcomed the critics, basically by stating that there have always been critics and that's just the way it is. I'm glad to see it regardless and even more pleased to see the ratings. I would like to see the peddlers of today's trash on TV sweating as they see how well this has been received.
