This is a thread about a movie.

You made my point, it is not about a movie! It is about a regilious event in a turbulent time for people of faith. That is why you don't belong, it is beyound your comprehension because of your conviction to "Godless Atheism".

I think this movie is a MIRACLE inspired by devine intervention, its appearance coming in the midst of our moral decline (gay marriage debate, etc...). This is coming from someone who is not strong in faith and has been touched by this movie without ever seeing it.

FR MOVIE REVUE: THE PASSION OF CHRIST (post your comments here)

Above is the title of the thread. It is a thread about a movie. The movie is about one aspect of the core beliefs of Christianity. If you remember, I said that the reason I wasn't planning to attend was because it covered just that single aspect. I did not say that people shouldn't go to it. I didn't say that it wasn't a powerful film. I said that I, personally, was not planning to attend.

The movie itself is not a miracle. It is a movie. It was created by a film-maker, not by any deity.

Even Christians disagree about the value of the film. For me, it's just a personal reason that I'm not going to see it. That's unusual for me, since I have seen every film I know of about Jesus. I've read dozens of books about Jesus and Christianity.

I'm just not planning to see this film, for the reasons I offered at the very beginning of this thread, which _is_ about the movie.

I thought those were the people the film was destined to influence?
