To the first statement, as I have already stated, the film accurately reflects what the Gospels themselves say. There are some minor added elements but none are significant.
To the second statement, I don't have any independent knowledge of the veracity or lack thereof. I just don't know.
However, according to Christians, having the blood of Christ on you isn't a bad thing, it's a good thing. It washes away sin. We drink the blood of Christ, remember? And eat his body. Catholics do, anyway.
To the third statement, I think it's a shame that Gibson's father, a whacky 85 year old man who is not well educated, and appears to be somewhat senile, is being made into an issue. I am not going to be drawn into that any further. I don't agree with him, I don't approve of him, but he's Hutton Gibson, not Mel, and I see no reason to tar Mel Gibson with his father's ideas.
Is denying that the Holocaust happened a "lie" or an "opinion"? I think it's an "opinion." If Hutton Gibson knew that the Holocaust happened through personal experience, it would be a "lie."
I know people think that Elvis is alive and aliens conduct experiments on earthlings, but they aren't liars, they're just whacko. |
