I have tried to avoid any and all "Passion" threads because of what I perceive to be extreme anti-semitism, rage, and hatred

I've actually posted to several of the Passion threads over the past few weeks. Yeah, you do get some ignorant "anti-Semetic" comments, and then there are those who try to defend "Holocaust Revisionists" because of Mel's dad getting dragged back into it, but in total there's a lot more Christian bashing than anti-Semetic comments going on.

But it's not just Passion threads, there's a lot of disrespect for each others religion and beliefs. It's almost impossible to have a gentlemanly debate, someone's going to step over the line and then flame wars break out.

But I've noticed that it seems to be OK to make remarks disrespecting Christianity, but not OK to make "what may be perceived as anti-Semetic" whether it's actually anti-Semetic or not.

Probably what you perceive to be "rage" or "hatred" is the pure, extreme frustration of Christians having their faith attacked with no relief. Just my opinion.

Our faith is attacked in the media. It's attacked politically. It's attacked by Hollywood. It's attacked by libs. We would like to believe that it wouldn't be attacked at FR. Sadly that's not always the case.
