    I'm not much of a movie-goer, so I hadn't realized that <a href="http://www.iousathemovie.com/about/">I.O.U.S.A.</a> is in theaters now. From the trailer, it looks to be a good movie. Anyone seen it yet? <object width="325" height="250"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/youtube"...

    Theology Thread
