What the devil means for harm, God uses for Good. Even though we hate what the Muslim religion stands for, Jesus died for them too. The only way to completely destroy Islam is to reach them with the love of Christ. God does work in mysterious ways. How many will finally have an opportunity to see and hear the gospel?14 posted on 03/17/2004 9:14:16 AM EST by CajunConservative
I hate to see Mel lose even a penny, because his hit is an object lesson for Hollyweird. On the other, this may very well be good news.Piracy is an attack on all artistic copyright generally, and is naturally opposed by all artists in solidarity if for no other reason. Gibson clearly is never going to need to work again after the profits he'll see from this movie. And in fact it's sort of like leaving your Bible in an unlocked car. You'd miss the Bible if it were taken, but you could hope that it were taken - and learned from - by anyone who would steal it.
So in that sense piracy is less than a tragedy in this case, if someone repents. But it does make one squeamish to read of Muslims who might support terrorism illegally profiting by The Passion.
Oh I don't have a problem with him going after the one's who made the pirated copies. They deserve to face the legal consequences of their actions. However, the question remains will the movie even be allowed to be shown there?
