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

What an odd remark.

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

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.

Your bold type is what I believe in MY heart and it is what I have tried to tell my wife. Well, I was off the mark. I did not work very hard to see it from her perspective. Mel could have been more true to the Gospels by being more clear about exactly who killed Christ. It was a corrupt jewish leadership (and only part) and a rent a mob. He should have gone out of his way, in this horrible time we live in where anti-semitism is in danger of exploding, to make this clear. It's not clear. It's clear to you because your have read the Book. Get it?
