Oh, and by the way, I'm agnostic.

I don't have the same expectations of your behavior as those who claim the name.

The only thing about this movie that could spur anti-Semitism is the incredibly bigoted behavior of the Jewish critics of this movie (though I realize it's not limited to them). From what I've seen of your posts, you are among them.

You have called me a bigot. I have not called you a comparable name. In fact, I don't even think I wrote any comments directed to you.

Me, I know there's a good number of Jews on this board who have defended Gibson and criticized the critics. I am very grateful for them, because frankly without them, the sheer and malevolent bigotry I've seen directed against Christians (of which I am not, remember) by Jews lately would tempt me to become an anti-Semite - not because they're supposed to be greedy, or because they're supposed to have killed Christ, or any other stereotype - but because so many of them are EVERY BIT the bigots than they accuse Christians of being!

There really are not that many Jews on this board. Most Jews who participate in the Jewish communities would be shocked at what goes on here and/or it would reinforce their stereotyped perceptions of conservatives, RightWingChristians, whatever label they might use to describe the various folks (many of whom are very good people and inspiring) who read and post on FR. This post of yours would reinforce those stereotypes.

I note that you have seen the movie and it seems to have produced in you much anger and hatred toward those who criticize the movie, especially those who are Jews. In fact you blame said Jews should they become the object of the Antisemitism you write you are tempted to employ. That would seem to put you in an at risk category after you have seen this movie.

No - it would put me "at risk" after having read the false reviews of said movie. Not one thing in the movie itself made me have any problem with any individual Jew. Reading Krauthammer's review, however, makes me believe that Krauthammer is a Christian-loathing bigot.

Nice try at twisting cause and effect.

This is a very interesting description which I must inform you that I as a Christian, without seeing that movie has been most enlightening from this side of the fence. I had no idea how much Christians are despised and why because no one will take Christ Himself on with His words.

I must also tell you that I have seen no outrage by those who hold claim of the Torah, and the abominations that occur daily in this Christian nation.

Why no outrage about removal of the TEN COMMANDMENTS?\

Why no outrage about giving sodomy a civil right?

Why no outrage about a court demanding the perversion of the institution of Marriage.

Why no outrage about law breaking by that city by the bay.


No all I hear is outrage about a man, his movie using his Father as a scapegoat. What sin has Mel's father committed and where is it WRITTEN?
