Thank you for your response.
This is what I do not understand. The Ten Commandments are first written in the Torah. Why no outcry about rejecting them by modern day courts.
The gay lifestyle is called an abomination in the Torah yet society is getting it shoved in our face and against a state law passed by the people. The removal of "GOD" from the pledge get but a slight notice, etc......
I do not understand how all the things get hardly noticed. Yet a silly old man whose beliefs are not common gets run up the flag pole because his son makes a movie that all his peer's want nothing to do with. What is the sin of Mel making a movie? What do Mel's father silly words have to do with Mel's movie?
No one is being forced to go, to believe anything about it, yet I am being forced to explain to my children why the Torah says one thing and society is pushing the opposite.
Deuteronomy 31:16-21 Moses tell us what will happen "if" we turn our face away from our Heavenly Father.
Deuteronomy 32 the Song of Moses is quiet fitting for this day and age.

What do Mel's father silly words have to do with Mel's movie? The issue of Mel's father is that his ideas are unpopular and easy to deal with. The other issues are more complex and their popularity is questionable. I believe that explains why the important things do not get addressed while this does.
Also, there is a noisy contingent that doesn't appreciate certain things about Mel's movie and are concerned that the movie could incite violence or prejudice against Jews. While you may feel that Jews are being overly concerned, they have ample historical evidence on which to base their fears - especially in Europe.
Liberal non-Jews, on the other hand, have an opportunity to deal blow to those whom they consider enemies: religious Christians. And, by stroking the fires of hatred, intolerance, etc., they may cause Jews to suffer - another of their goals.

It's a complicated world.
