I am Jewish, and yet I am still alive after "The Passion" has been out for a week. Seems like my "leaders" have lied to me.

I hadn't thought of that. What is going to be the response when the predicted wave of anti-semitism never happens?

Times have changed a LOT. In this country, stereotyping of any kind has taken a pretty huge beating. If you're ignorant enough to blame today's Jews for what certain jewish religious leaders did 2000 years ago, I don't think a movie is going to make a lick of difference. Heck, there are people who don't even know that Jesus was of jewish ethnicity, and at least the movie will educate those folks.

I honestly think that if there is any antisemitism that comes out of this, it will be as a result of a backlash rather than due to the movie itself. That's really, really unfortunate, because antisemitism, for whatever reason, is a terrible thing.

What's going to happen? We get to hear a bunch of REALLY annoying non-Christians now tell us what our true theology is. And how this movie was unbiblically correct. And then they will try to divide us.

Don't fall for it.
