For 2000 years scripture as written has been suffcient to convey the passion of the Christ. Now all of a sudden scripture is not enough and everybody has to flock to a sensational movie. Makes no sense.

Here is your ribbon.

What, you don't want this ribbon? You must wear the ribbon!

Everyone who is in the march has to have a ribbon!

Hey, everyone! He (Kramer) does not want to wear the Aids Ribbon!

/sarcasm and a very poor attempt at humor.

I have not seen the movie but plan to. When the movie JFK came out, it was praised by a majority and panned by many - especially the elite on both sides of the politial fence. I liked it because there was not one theory in it that I had not read in books I had previously checked out of my public library. To me it seemed that Oliver Stone's sin was to put those theories in the movie theater in an artistic presentation. I wonder how many on this forum, who have bashed Stone for his artistic license, are now bashing those who bash Gibson for his?

Passion plays are hardly new, neither are films about Jesus. No "all of a sudden" about it.

Have you ever read a book pertaining to Christianity?

If a Caravaggio showing was in town would you refuse to see that, too?

Congratulations. Let's see, it's too violent, it's anti-semitic, it's inaccurate, Mel Gibson's a whacko, Mel Gibson's father is mean, and now, why make a movie about it, anyway? Almost as much fun as Gibson's success is the nonsense being spouted by people who are trying to discredit the movie without admitting their real problem is that they just don't like Jesus or His message.

Actually it makes a lot of sense.
