Gee , who is perpetuating the idea that the movie about Christ is more about who killed him? Just looking at the cover of Newsweek is preposterous!Christ was the King of the Jews- surrounded by Jews- I guess it would have been more likely if Chinese had run into the area and killed him - would it change the meaning of his life any? It is the liberal media's dim view of Southern Christians and the myth that they are obsessed about the Jews being "the one that killed our Lord" - this keeps the story going for them.

"Gee , who is perpetuating the idea that the movie about Christ is more about who killed him?"

Even more bizarre - the idiots raising Cain (oops) about this movie are actually willing to accept that Jesus may have been real - IF the Jews can be blamed for killing him, or if Christians can be blamed for blaming the Jews for killing him. Which is why it's MUCH more fun arguing about who is to blame. Jesus can then be denied as well as used, the proverbial pink elephant in the living room.

That's the odd part, Southern Christians are the most pro Jewish group in the nation. I never met an antisemite until I joined the navy and a couple of guys from Brooklyn brought it up. All of us Georgians in my company hung around together, including a guy named Hortman, and the first thing the Brooklynites said, "You're Jewish huh?" We Georgia boys were a bit taken aback about it.

The "Christ killer" stigma is primarily a Euro-Catholic prejudice. (And no I am not bashing Catholics in this forum, for what it's worth I have not encountered any anti-semite Catholics in the South either).
