A lot of movie people dont respect Gibsons obsession with his Passion project; they are offended by it; fear it. And Ill bet, since the movie could earn huge profits for Gibson and his distribution partners, they resent it.This is at the heart of the reaction. Many secular people, especially NY film critics, are offended by faith and fearful of people who have faith. And they're almost as offended that there's a huge audience for such a film.

Its not the money or the subject matter; what has gotten liberals flummoxed is the fact millions of people wanted to see a movie like this despite all the bad press about it. They have no idea there are millions of people in America who take the Bible and religion that seriously. They don't know how to relate to this huge audience out there other than by putting them and their beliefs down.
