>Why is no one interested in trying to tell Bible stories into something other than generic kids slop?
Because Christians primarily fund media that they think will be likely to convert people. And the two easiest types of people to convert are:
1. Little kids who won't be critical of what you tell them because they are still forming their frame of reference and so the ideas of your religion will stick with them for the rest of their life.
2. People who have fallen on bad times and will ignore their ability to be critical of your message if you help them.
Since the second group is only going to come along if you actually do something, making the media targeted towards the first group makes more sense. And since you don't have much money to spend relatively speaking it will typically end up as slop.
As for serious movies, sure there are some stories in the bible worthy of being treated seriously. But a lot of the bible is... Uhm...
>Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
>And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
... Uh... Not really worth telling in full...
Why the fuck do I live in a world where movie preservation is being gutted by draconian copyright and the erasure of physical copies, but I can read millenia old smut in every language because it was somehow deemed sacred?
