Perhaps you should give yourself the opportunity to use your own judgement?

Thank you, but no. The subject matter doesn't interest me and I've heard there's a great deal of violence portrayed in a realistic manner. I wouldn't pay to see that even if the subject did interest me.

Why assume either? Eiither you repsect his perspective or you don't. Just declare either way.

I don't.

You really need to examine your own conscience and understand why you make such narrow statements before questioning the consciences of others, wouldn't you think?

I'm sorry you think I've made narrow statements. I thought I asked questions.

I think your fears are unfounded and misguided but, admittedly, I would take them more seriously if they were based in a viewing of the movie rather than your preconceived notions of rampant anti-semitism at the hands of Gibson and his movie. I presume you understand why.

Where did I ever say that Gibson's movie was anti-Semitic? I understand your misconception, however.

My grandchildren were afraid of the dark closet until I took them in there and shut out the light. They no longer fear what is not there.

I've read historical accounts of the results of Passion Plays conducted in Europe over the centuries. I don't fear what is not there.

I really do only speak for myself. There is nothing to fear from Christ or ture followers of Christ. Of that I can assure you.

Hopefully, you are correct.

I think that anyone who has read your posts may be under the same misconception

In fact, when you listed a couple of "interesting" references in a post to me (e.g. my discussion of Jews but not Romans), I got the impression that you were trying to paint me as potentially ant-semetic as well

I'm sure that it was just a misconception...

:-}

Now you're being obtuse HA, almost Clintonesque thoguh I reserve that for the only the most obtuse.

Perhaps you simply fear fear itself?
