wow. A decent article from Lew Rockwell! Is the Rapture far behind? :>

With all the publicity and controversy that Mel Gibson's movie is getting beforehand perhaps people who would not ordinarily go to see a religious-themed movie will go see this one and decide for themselves.

The real fear for some is probably that people who see the movie will be moved by the story and become interested in Christ's message. Sadly, I think there are some who feel threatened by that idea.

To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, either Christ was right in what He proclaimed and did or He was a crazy, and nothing He said or did fits with Him being a crazy. If you actually pay attention to the Christian story, it's very compelling, which is probably one reason why this movie is very compelling, because Mel stuck close to the story!
