>>They hated “The Passion of the Christ,” and hated Mel Gibson for it, because it hit them with a truth they couldn’t handle.
True. They’ll watch John MacLaine walk on broken glass and get beat up and shot for sequel after sequel and never bat an eyelash at the violence.
But “Passion” was too much for them. Even for the Jews and Anti-Theists of Hollywood. This is because their heart KNOWS. The Holy Spirit makes them feel the pain in “Passion”. They want to pretend it isn’t real.
I know this because I was an atheist when I saw it. I can giggle at a horror movie of the worst kind and I LOVE watching John MacLaine walk on glass. My atheism survived nearly dying in a submarine that was sinking, but “Passion” jarred something in me and it wasn’t the violence.
BTTT.
