I don't know. Do you know for sure?
I do know there were Passion Plays in Europe for centuries which resulted in mass murder, so you will understand if there is some concern.
The bigger question, IMHO, is whether your reaction is worthy of your faith. Do you take my concern seriously as a "true Christian" would or do you brush it off?
I find the reaction of all the "True Christians" in this thread much more revealing than any article written by some liberal. Again, WWJD?
Probably drive the author of this nonsense out of the offices of Reason magazine with a rope whip because of her mendacity...
Just speculating, of course...
Can't speak for Jesus, and I don't speak for Christians, I just speak for myself, a Christian who has sinned before and will undoubted ly sin again.
But I think any rational human being would go to see the film before passing judgement on what it might or might not do.
Historically speaking however, I find it doubtful that Christians, in general, will develop a hatred for Mary, Joseph and the apostles because they were semites. I know that's a stretch but there you have it.
