Are you denying me the right to be angry and hostile toward demonization and bigotry? It really sounds like you are.

You have declared me to be a bigot with whom you are angry and hostile and you are asking if I would deny you that right ?

You have your opinion, your reaction, and are another data point for what the movie has produced so far.

Heh. Listen to yourself. "You were the target audience some hoped to reach with this movie for evangelism." You make them sound like some sort of evil cabal. Sound familiar?

You are the target audience some hoped to reach with this movie for evangelism. Their assertion was that the movie would be a tool of evangelism to cause you to repent of your sins and convert, to produce love instead of hate. I'm simply one of the first targets you can reach with hate and anger so you are acting it out online.

Maybe a second viewing of the movie would help you but I wouldn't want to see even more anger from you. The movie is apparently very powerful. One of the Jewish writers who saw the preview with Christian friends reported the Christian came out of the movie wanting to kill the Jews responsible in the movie. That is quite understandable and I'm not complaining about that but simply pointing out how incendiary a movie can be when the simple preaching of the text is not.

Somehow I don't see you coming out of an Independent Fundamental Baptist or Evangelical or Catholic church after a sermon on the crucifixion doing what you have done here tonight.

That would be correct, because my going to a Catholic reenactment of the Stations of the Cross would not have been preceded by a year-long propaganda campaign of lies, smears, demonization and misrepresentations about the Stations of the Cross.

If it -had-, and then I went and saw it for myself and it contained no such thing, -then- I would be extremely angry, and rightly so. But you just can't seem to accept that my anger cannot be extricated from the virulent anti-Christian attacks that I've witnessed in this last year, and that's why you keep drawing false analogies.
