Now isn't this just cozy! How can someone accuse Gibson's movie of being inflammatory while making anti-Christian inflammatory remarks? And Foxman once said he had a concern about dialogue breaking down between the groups? Ahhhh- the sanctimony!
I interpreted Missyme's comments to mean that she said that I was waiting for Satan.
I responded in kind.

I am not anti-Christian. I wish far more nominal Christians were religious.

As for a breakdown of dialogue, that is exactly what Foxman wants.
As for sanctimony, perhaps you should pay attention to CONTEXT before passing judgement.

Sorry if you thought my remarks were directed toward you. I was making only a general statement.

I wish so too. Jesus never taught against "the Jews" although he condemned the leadership of that time. From the cross he forgave those who crucified him which means that if indeed "the Jews" should be blamed for his death, then Jesus forgave them when he said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." True Christians do not hold Jews responsible for Christ's death.

Yes it is what he wants. That's what makes HIM sanctimonious.

Who is this Abe Foxman, and why should Mel Gibson give him the time of day? He doesn't like Mel's point of view; fine, that's his right. As is Mel's to make a film that fills his point of view.
