Ted, The reality is that Jesus's ministry was not about torture and death but about life and its potential goodness. How sick that Gibson dwells mostly on the former, not the latter. How disturbed that he accentuates the drama of Jesus's ending in a way that is horribly graphic. Do you know anything about the significance of Jesus' death on the cross? Yes. And your point was? Once you do, you too will agree that the movie is anything but anti-Semitic, and that the whole notion of Jews killing Jesus is bunk. This is the first I've heard that that's the central point to our argument. Its not the potential for generating anti Semitism that worries me about this film. What started this discussion is that you complained that I should not criticize Gibson. My response........why is it necessary to watch Jesus flayed so badly by a whip that the bodily fluids and skin are seen as they escape his body? Who is it that needs to learn the lesson? Ask me again later. Let me just leave you with this: If God spoke to you right now and told you how to beat the game of Blackjack, what would you do (besides the obvious)? Marvel that He spoke to me. ted
