"I think that arch-Christian conservatives had high hopes that this movie would silence all the critics of the Christian Right. That it would shame the liberals and secular critics of the Christian Right into conversion and silence "

You think incorrectly and in a conspiratorial manner.

Christians are flocking to this movie about their Lord and Savior and his painful sacrifice for us.

"Christians are flocking to this movie about their Lord and Savior and his painful sacrifice for us."

I would hope so. I said it has probably been good for private piety. And that is a good thing. But it is also being used as a political bludgeon by the far left and the far right. And I stand by what I said. It seemss the political right is mad because the political left did not view this movie then fall on their faces and give up the fight. Actually the liberals are being true to form, no worse than usual. And they have a right to opine. It is not a sacriledge to be critical of a movie. They did not criticise Jesus himself. And I still wonder if had the movie been less violent would it have attracted so much attention.
