Al, while George Will is right on the money, as usual, he might want to spend a little more time explaining how the "assault on people of faith" is indeed petty, and how that makes the "persecution complex" unnecessary to say the least. What "assault on people of faith"? You're paranoia runneth over, proving its never enough with you guys. For example, George Will mentions the success of "Passion," but he neglects to mention the controversy surrounding its release. Remember those who protested against the movie's supposed anti-Semitic message? So what? Do you remember the compaints from the Christian right about J. Jackson's breast or Hollywood movies in general or gay marriage or the Ten Commandments etc etc etc.? Why are you deaf to those complaints; after all, they are much louder and more strident than those from the left? There are so many complaints coming from the religious right, I am started to feel sophicated. ted

I don't want to fall into some "read my post" mis-interpretation of what you wrote. Can you state clearly your points without ambiguitiy and quotation marks? Thanks. For example, George Will mentions the success of "Passion," but he neglects to mention the controversy surrounding its release. Remember those who protested against the movie's supposed anti-Semitic message? Better yet, remember Andy Looney's bitter comments? So the Jews are as sensitive about having been depicted as the killers of Christ in the Bible...they are no less vocal about their sensitivities as Christians are about theirs...what is so shocking about that? As one among the religiously persecuted you should understand their position. Al
