When we are sympathetic to a controversial work of pop culture, we invoke the artist’s right to create in an climate of total freedom, whatever feelings of outrage the work may stoke among the ignorati. (That is: other people.)

I listened to a talk show host ripping the movie and Gibson today.

He was acting like anybody that believed the Biblical account from the Gospels was ignorant.

This journalist nails the attitude.

Most people who are spiritual lite or decidely secular actually do believe that those who have a firm faith grounded in anscient scripture are foolish.

That does not mean they are correct in their beliefs, nor does it make them theologic experts.Quite the contrary, it displays an incredible amount of ignorance on the whole topic of spirituallity in general, and Christianity in particular.

Kind of like me voicing my opinion on the game of Soccer.I know little about it, and what little I do know I dont like, so my opinion is actually less than worthless on that topic.

It would be refreshing to have the pundits admit their dissinterest and ignorance of a topic, and leave it at that.
