I think we can agree that the "nuetered" version will be the lesser of the two versions. But I can understand it as being noble if it broadens the audience of the film and expands the base of those who see it. I guess in the end, it depends on WHAT six minutes are being cut and how badly it...

I personally, would be more interested on a straight take on the biblical material covered in the Ten Commandments. Imagine the story of Moses told with today's technology and special effects?
