What were Hollywood's sinister reasons for demeaning The Passion of The Christ, making ridiculous claims that it it was anti-Semitic and too violent? The same Hollywood---the self-avowed adversary of Christianity---that produced an avalanche of films, TV and music demeaning Christians and trivializing Christian beliefs.

The answer is Hollywood is paranoid that it will lose its chokehold on American culture. It might even have to make films for Christians---the very people Hollywood disdains.

Let's be clear. Any and all attacks on The Passion film are attacks against Christians and will have important ramifications and serious repercussions.

America has learned to its grief that a culture devoid of Christian values is a dangerous wasteland of school killings, disturbed one-parent kids, crime waves of titanic proportions, schools teaching the destructive, terroristic NEA--PP'hood agenda, sexual license, younger and younger teen pregnancies, throw-away babies, abortion on demand including infanticide, and the homosexual takeover.

Fortunately for the welfare of America, Christians are finding renewed strength and spirit under the organizing influence of Mel Gibson's blockbuster film.

Americans voted with their tickets in atounding numbers. The take from the Passion's opening---Ash Wednesday thru the weekend---is nearing $120M. That's $120 million all-American Christian dollars.

The whole world knows now that Christians have the power. What they have not yet seen is what we will do with it.

BTTT. God has blessed us and Mel Gibson.

Liz, you know Hollywood already hated Mel because he's a Republican.

Next year's Oscar nominations --- I predict they'll either ignore Mel and his film or nominate Mel and his film in every category and then make sure he and his film do not win one Oscar.

Well said!!! THIS is the legacy of the RATS and Clintons.

Only problem being that you are not a Christian.

"throw-away babies, abortion on demand including infanticide".

Amen to that. On Friday, one of the front page headlines in the Louisville "Communist" Journal was: "Fetal Homocide Bill Threatens Abortion Rights".

It is incendiary, superficial and immature comments like this that have poisoned the atmosphere around this film.

I don't think Jesus would approve. :) He was a Jew, after all....

People from both sides have used the film to promote agendas which have nothing to do with the film itself.

Powerful stuff liz, your take on what the films about is fascinating. You make Christians sound like pretty nasty, vindictive critters.

Veronica, be nice to liz, wouldn’t want to get accused of trying to get her banned would you?
