Soon to be appearing in a (empty) theater near you.
Wow. I most certainly would NOT want to be in his shoes when he eventually stands before the Father to give an account for his actions.
Will he be filming the life of Mohammed next?
Blasphemy
I’ll wait patiently for him to make a comparable film about Mohammed. Meanwhile, I’ll skip this one.
Yeah, I hope he loses his shirt on this one.
Paul, if you think the weather is warm where you are buddy, just wait...
Evil - Satantic. Nothing else to say.
Let's hope so.It would be sad indeed to see people turn up in huge numbers to see this.
Paul, you’re an arrogant fool...
God will not be mocked.
Why is Hollywierd so obsessed with the destruction of Jesus? There has been film after film that either depicts him in so many perverted and obscene ways or denounces his mother’s life. For a group that thinks that he doesn’t exist, they sure spend a lot of time and money on him.
And he’s stupid in business...an Obama-quality businessman. Whatever it is that he invests in this silliness, that’s what he’s going to lose on it.
Life of Brian was more entertaining and probably more theologically sound than Verhoeven's movie.
Though Verhoeven denies Christ's divinity, he still says he greatly respects Jesus Christ's "ethics."
If you reject Jesus's divinity how can you accept his ethics? He claimed to be the Son of God and if he was wrong then he is the greatest heretic in the history of the world leading billions of followers from the correct path. (not originally my idea, but I forget who I heard it from so I can't give proper credit).
The haters can blaspheme all they want, but at the end of time, Jesus will still be the Real Deal. I don't want to be on His bad side.
Paul, I wouldn’t buy that for a dollar.
Would you like to know more?
Besides those he stores in his arse.
Sounds like he just based his book on the medieval Jewish work, the Toledot Yeshu, which made these kinds of spurious claims about Jesus. Led to no small measure of antisemetic backlash.
Kinda hard to prove the existence of Jesus without the Bible.
"The defeat of logical realism in the great medieval debate was the crucial event in the history of Western culture; from this flowed those acts which issue now in modern decadence. "

"It was William of Occam who propounded the fateful doctrine of nominalism, which denies that universals have a real existence. His triumph tended to leave universal terms mere names serving our convenience. The issue ultimately involved is whether there is a source of truth higher than, and independent, of man; and the answer to the question is decisive for one's view of the nature and destiny of humankind. The practical result of nominalist philosophy is to banish the reality which is perceived by the intellect and to posit as reality that which is perceived by the senses. With this change in the affirmation of what is real, the whole orientation of culture takes a turn, and we are on the road to modern empiricism." p. 3
“After it has been granted that man is molded entirely by environmental pressures, one is obligated to extend the same theory of causality to his institutions.--SNIP—Man created in the divine image, the protagonist of a great drama in which his soul was at stake, was replaced by man the wealth-seeking and –consuming animal.”
“Finally came psychological behaviorism, which denied not only freedom of the will but even such elementary means of direction as instinct. Because the scandalous nature of this theory is quickly apparent, it failed to win converts in such numbers as the others; yet it is only a logical extension of them and should in fairness be embraced by the upholders of material causation. Essentially, it is a reduction to absurdity of the line of reasoning which began when man bade a cheerful goodbye to the concept of transcendence.”—p 6
"[Man] struggles with the paradox that total immersion in matter unfits him to deal with the problems of matter.
"His decline can be represented as a long series of abdications. He has found less and less ground for authority at the same time he thought he was setting himself up as the center of authority in the universe: indeed, there seems to exist here a dialectic process which takes away his power in proportion as he demonstrates that his independence entitles him to power."-- p.7
I suspect I’ll have something better to do than watch this crap.
Why suddenly a bunch of religious films? (I could probably guess that it has something to do with the election, that is, if I hadn’t had a majorly awful day today.)
