I blame myself. The rest of you are just an illusion or a dream for all I know.

The fact that you are wholly unwilling to empathise with sensible and feeling jewish human beings is not christian.

What an odd remark.

Be careful stating "facts" about how I feel. I'm trying to say to our Jewish friends, in as clear and compassionate a way as I can (given that some will apparently not be satisfied until Christianity is completely silenced), this: This film is not about your guilt. It is about the collective guilt of humanity, and the forgiveness we've received in spite of ourselves. You are not to blame, aside from your humanity. Christians understand this, and you need not fear this film.

I've been saying this since long before the movie was released. I suppose you think it would be more empathetic and compassionate to say, "Hell yeah, be afraid. Be very afraid."

Sheesh.

No offense, but your "feelings" about what a Christian is or should be is worth less than zero to many of us.
Empathising with the neuroses of the unnormal is not an obligation that I am willing to take on. You seem unable to make a distinction between real grievances and imagined ones. Knock yourself out.
