I have seen news stories of people retching in the cinema and coming out in floods of tears at 'His' sacrifice - I wonder if they reacted the same to the scene of the soldier on the beach, his stomach open & screaming for his momma, in Saving Private Ryan - I doubt it.

Maybe it's because the guy on the beach wasn't the Son of God.

We're all God's children, aren't we...?
What's the difference if it's Messiah who is tortured and killed or if it's a fellow man who's suffering...? Are you trying to say that our lives or feelings aren't important or AS important... Do you think God wants us to cry for millions of years because of Jesus' suffering and forget about ourselves, about suffering of fellow men...? Wow, I start to like this religion even more.......

Neither is Jim Caviezel - he is just an actor too.

STATESBURO, Ga. -- A couple got in such a heated argument after seeing "The Passion of the Christ" that they were arrested for fighting.
The two left the theater debating whether God the Father in the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit was in human form or spiritual.
When police arrived at their home, the wife had ripped her husband's shirt, and he had punched a hole in the sheet rock near the stairs.
"It was the dumbest thing we've ever done," said 34-year-old Melissa Davidson.
She and her husband, 33-year-old Sean Davidson, were charged with simple battery March 11. They were taken to the jail, booked and then released on $1,000 bonds, said Gene McDaniel, Bulloch County chief deputy.
"Really, it was kind of a pitiful thing, to go to a movie like that and fight about it. I think they missed the point," McDaniel said. "That's generally not been the response to that movie."
A police report said Melissa Davidson suffered injuries on her left arm and face, while Sean Davidson had a scissor stab on his hand and his shirt was ripped off.
Melissa Davidson acknowledged she had a scratch but said there was no scissor injury.
"We both called the law on each other," she said. "It was one of those stupid things. We were arguing over a point of religion."
The couple has been married for 10 years and had never been in an argument like that before, she said.
"We're each other's best friends. Sometimes people get stupid," she said.

No kidding.

Well, we can't blame the movie for the fact that people are morons.
Who killed Jesus?
I think we all did, that's the point. That's why it's Gibson's hands that nail him to the cross-because he put him there, as did we all. Well, that's if you're a believer.
I don't know about religion and all that, I think Roger Taylor certainly had it right when he said it fucked people up, because it does, big time. But it gives them hope as well, and if it can give people who have nothing something, then it must be worthwhile.
I, for one, am very eager to see this film, because I think it will be a really good one. It's the oldest and greatest story of all time, and who cares if it's true or not, it's got so much symbolism and moral that I don't think any of us can afford to ignore it.
