Re: Why I think 'The Passion' is evil...Posted By John Hopkins |
>>I think it's evil because it never happened<<
Wait a minute, are we talking the question of whether Jesus was divine or whether he had a hellish execution? Since there's nothing supernatural about the latter I don't see why it requires debunking.
>>it lacks historical correlation<<
But politics, religious fanaticism/persecution, plain stupidity, cowardice (Pilate), and crucifixion *as such* were all features of that era. It could easily have happened just like that, hence I don't find it worth denying.
>>I consider it one of the most anti-semitic pieces of trash ever written.<<
You're going to have to explain that one a little better. There were Jews calling for the crucifixion and Jews horrified by it, not to mention the sadistic Roman torturers were offset by other Roman occupiers who didn't understand why this powerless man deserved such treatment.
>>The 3rd Reich would've loved this film<<
My GF loved this film, and somehow didn't make this leap to "Every Jew is responsible for Christ's death." Maybe you should check your own assumptions, or watch it again.
