Christians wonder why individuals deploring aspects of The Passion of Christ subject matter, remain silent while Hollywood continually degrades and marginalizes Christian beliefs.

Liz, I'm Jewish and I don't really know. In the earlier era, nobody was more patiotic and even pro-Christian ("God Bless America" and "White Christmas", by Irving Berlin) than American Jews. The naysayers ("Give me Delinquency, Give me the U.S.A." -- Cole Porter) were less likely to be. Now it seems, to some extent, reversed, what with most US Jews being liberals, and with liberalism more and more meaning hostility to authentic Christianity. It's obvious to me that a stronger Christianity leads to a stronger Judaism.

Nice, very nice, deconstruction. Thanks for your great contributions to the thread.

Steve, I think you're right. Stronger Christianity=stronger Judaism=stronger nation.
