IMDb brings all the wank to the yard.
Looking for wank on the Interned Movie Database messageboards is, of course, not unlike looking for penguins in Antarctica - it's not always immediately visible, but when you find it you always find a lot of it.

As such, I wouldn't normally bother reporting it. But this one amused me.

It started in a fairly straightforward way. On the X-Men 3 message boards (I will add here that the entire thread is spoiler-free) a poster named brinycbri starts a thread entitled Mutants were not part of Noah's ark..

I'm sorry, but to hear all this about mutants and different things happening in this movie that is no where referenced to the bible...i think thie movie is blasphemous...and anyone seeing this will most likely go to hell..prove to me that God created a mutant and i'll agree with you, otherwise, i'll pray for you...

He quickly follows up with an expansion of his position.

Of course I had to do it, these are things I stand for, and I hope you understand why I feel this movie, like the davinci code, should have been made illegal to make and see

The reactions are... pretty much what you would expect. A couple of verses of 'it's just fiction', a quick chorus of 'hey, brinycbri is a troll'. Insults are slung around, people harp on the bible's contradictions, and all is perfectly boring and normal on the IMDb message boards.

And then the wonderful (if semi-literate) lazerustheduck decides to take up the original post's challenge.

Prove there were mutants OK simple it is in Genesis.

6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Children begat by the sons of god and the daughters of men. A mutant species.

Of course, I can't really endorse this position. As a true Marvel Geek, it's blatantly obvious to me that the above verses are actually referring to the Eternals, and possibly the Deviants and Inhumans as well. Still, it was nice to see a coherent argument.
