I'm sorry, but no movie about Jesus needs to be that bloody
it figures that the religious right would accept a movie as gory as that JUST because its the story about Jesus. And 15 seconds of resurectoin vs. the 2 hours of violence? :wtf:
talk about trashing the whole point.....

yes, his resurrection is the focal point of christianity, but his suffering is also a huge part. its supposed to mean something, but i can't think of it

basiclly, the story of Christ wasn't about his sufferage. I think passion plays are totally pointless. How many religious leaders and zealots died for their cause? Its no different than Jesus.
however, its the resurrection, I feel, that makes jesus different from all those leaders and zealots. frankly, there's hardly a lick of difference between judiasim, islam, and christianity, save that major point. I think thats the biggest reason I still have some faith in chirstianity, which would have otherwise faded in light of recent events....
and applying this resurrection to us is what its ment by Jesus saving us, I feel. Its like the whole fight club concept: "once we lose it all, we're free to do anything"
regardless, the point of Jesus isn't to shock people with uber violence. But again, I haven't seen it.
I just think its ironic, thats all....

well since you're a well read religious scholar, I think everyone should believe you instead

I didn't know you knew me so well
