"By your logic, everyone is an agnostic. No one can prove anything."
Wasn't my logic. I believe David Hume was the first to argue that point some 300+ years ago.

Just out of interest Matt, did you find anything anti-Semitic in it?
Not that I think it probably is, it's just interesting to see if people who have seen films can pick what people get upset about.

I'm not going to see it. My husband saw it and told me all about it. From what he told me Mel Gibson's Jesus would have died before being crucified.

I saw it on Wednesday (my computer is down that is why I am not on much now) and I did not enjoy it. But That was juswt it was too graphic for me I think. My mom heard an interview with the guy who played Jesus and she said in the flogging scene they were supposed to be hitting this board in stead of him but they hit him once, which hurt so bad he coulnd't say a word or tell them to stop, then they missed the board again and it tore about a foot long gash in his back.
As for my beliefs, I believe in God but I choose the life of pleasure because I think it is better than heaven. I get so mad when pastors say that "salvation is free" yeah right but he wants your entire life devoted to him.

Am I an athiest or agnostic?
Here comes the cliche ...
I don't know and I don't care.
I am supposed to be doing taxes now while my wife is off galavanting at church. Nah this is my time. Maybe I'll do it later ...

Well, atheists don't believe in it, and Agnostics are undecided.
If you've got to disprove the existence of God to be an athesist, haven't you got to prove the existence of God to be a believer?
Since neither can be done, by that reckoning, we're all agnostic.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply I posted some days previously.

ROME, Georgia (AP) -- Tickets at one movie theater screening Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" are being deemed decidedly unholy.
The number 666, which many Christians recognize as the "mark of the beast," is appearing on movie tickets for Gibson's film at a Georgia theater, drawing complaints from some moviegoers.
The machine that prints tickets assigned the number 666 as a prefix on all the tickets for the film, said Gary Smith, owner of the Movies at Berry Square in northwest Georgia. The 666 begins a series of numbers that are listed below the name of the movie, the date, time and price.
"It's from our computer and it's absolutely a coincidence," Smith said. "It has nothing to do with the film company or any vendor. It's completely in our computer."
In the Bible, the book of Revelation says 666 is the "number of the beast," usually interpreted as Satan or the Antichrist.
Several patrons have made comments about the numbers, and one person who was uncomfortable having 666 on her ticket asked for a pass to be substituted for a ticket.
"A lot of people have asked what the numbers mean, some said it seemed odd, some said it was inappropriate," said theater employee Erica Diaz.
The movie, which opened Wednesday, is a bloody depiction of Christ's final hours and crucifixion.

Can't understand how someone's death could save me... Wouldn't it be enough to just say- you're saved...?
And did we understand anything from this 'example'...? Not really- this planet is becoming a big 'shithole' and we're killing or abusing each other, also in the name of this 'example'. This whole 'religion' thing is only dividing us all instead of bringimg peace and happiness... Don't you think there's something wrong here...?

The word 'believe' doesn't reuquire any kind of proving.

Okay, I finally went and saw it.
Oh my God.
I never want to see another crow again.
That was the sickest thing I have ever seen in my life. People were retching in the aisles...literally! And I sure as hell felt like it!
I walked out of there feeling sick to my stomach, and I definitely wasn't the only one.
Okay, I accept that the poor man went through a lot of pain and agony, but that was a slasher film. That was one big long guilt-trip.

From a historical point of view, the devil wasn't even a thought in Jesus' time. Ancient Judaism had no beliefs of the devil. Christianity (which is derivative of Judaism) introduced/created the devil to be the Christian antithesis in the early second century. So with that in mind, any Christian with this knowledge who is still intimidated or angered by a three 6's situated beside one another should have nothing to worry about, as it should have no direct relationship with their faith. Regardless of historical facts, faith shouldn't be about what you're against... it should be about what "good" you believe in.
