>If you like seeing handsome young men stripped and tied up and flayed with whips, The Passion Of The Christ is the movie for you.

Lord, forgive them. They know not what they say. They know not what they do.

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Sheesh,

It is starting to look like anyone who thinks they are someone have something to say about this movie.

I have no desire to hear what these no-bodies have to say.

They know not about many things. Especially themselves.

This review shows that his harsh criticism of Mother Theresa was no accident. Christopher has chosen sides with the Father of Lies. Here's one:

HE showed the film at the Vatican, and then claimed that the Pope had endorsed it - a claim that the Vatican has flatly denied, but then every little [bit] helps.

God help him.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.' Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength" (1 Corinthians 1:18-25).

"Lord, forgive them. They know not what they say. They know not what they do."

I couldn't agree more.... this article is stunning in its viciousness.

1) Isn't Hitchens an atheist?

2) The Nazi party wasn't built on belief in a "Jewish Conspiracy." It hated Jews and tried to exterminate them, but there was a lot more to that evil movement than a Jewish Conspiracy. cf. Ominous Parallels, by Peikoff.

3) Hitchens only reported part of the sign the Denver preacher put up. There was a bible verse also on the sign.

I think that sign was ill advised on the part of that particular church, but Hitchens twists the sign into something it wasn't.

Shoddy reporting Christopher.

Actually, I think they do, to a point, know what they do and who they serve.

If this were a flick about the Hindu religion, would anyone be this up in (8) arms about it?

It's not that they are intolerant of other's beliefs, they hate what they believe but have rejected. On some level they know they have turned their back on Christ for a mere 30-40 years of flesh. They are old enough now to know the joy of offered by their "lifestyle" was an illusion. They know they've been ripped off. We've all experience this on some level ourselves, it's the nature of sin. These homos have been consumed by it.

Liberals giving us their insight of this movie is no different than Madonna giving a speech on virtue
