"Catholic Secular Forum of India asks its followers to “fast unto death” unless the government takes action to block the movie from theatres."
Not a good idea.
Pardon my language but
what an asshole!
Who was Jesus? What was his mission? Was he married? What’s the Holy Grail? What’s Christianity all about?
if bill press has studied the bible as studiously as he has studied the communist manifesto and mao's little red book he wouldn't be asking the questions above.
JMHO
What did the movie makers expect? Did they expect the Pope to bless the release of it?
He and his Cardinals have dedicated their entire lives to their deeply-held faith now being slandered by this fictional story.
Some people actually take their religious faith seriously and deeply. They are deeply offended when their sincerest beliefs are mocked.
Believers would be hypocrites if they shrugged off such a slander and blasphemy because they would, in effect, admit they aren't that committed to their faith or to the truth of the Bible.
Large numbers of Christians believe in the literal truth of the Bible. Why wouldn't these folks be offended? They believe, as I also do, Jesus is the One True Son of God, Savior of our eternal souls and the Savior of the world.
Why would we be "OK" with a deliberate fraud about the earthly life of Jesus? This is a fraud committed to profit the book's author, publisher, the actors and the filmmakers.
Blasphemy and slander of Jesus for fun and profit!
Nice!
It is reminiscent of the Roman soldiers gleefully casting lots as to whom among them would "win" the robe of Jesus after they nailed Him to the Cross.
Yet another illustration of just how clueless liberals are about religion and why they constantly turn off Christian voters.
'Today’s attacks by Christians against “The Da Vinci Code” and its author, Dan Brown, remind me of the attacks by Muslims against “The Satanic Verses” and author Salman Rushdie back in 1988. Except that no one has issued a fatwa against Brown. At least, not yet. You don’t know whether to get angry at such religious extremism or laugh at it. '
And we supressed to take this jerk seriously?
This commie ahole is considered to be a top political analyst in CNN.
