"My dad taught me my faith and I believe what he taught me. The man never lied to me in his life." -- Mel Gibson, Reader's Digest interview. Hi E, Most folks get their religous beliefs from their parents and not from churches, movies etc. My dad was irreligious but still proud of his jewish heritage. Me too and i have a son who pretty much views things the same way. We all did our stint in religous school, were bar mitzvahed etc. But in our heart of hearts, we develop a philosophy of life that comes from interaction within the family. That being said, if my dad showed a racist streak, I would call him on it. And i wouldnt produce a movie showing slaves happy on the plantation even if it was based on a great book and my dad said it were so. The gospels say what they say but they were written years after the events and by men, not without justified prejudice against some jews plus a religous mission to spread christianity. So why not at least recognize the possibility that their version of events was an overstatement. Hell we get 10 books with 10 different opinions on every event that happens, so why could there not be at least a slightly different truth. mike
