I am a Protestant Christian. I will not be seeing this or any other passion play.

That is certainly your right, but based upon the reasons you give, I think that you are very confused. You are allowing the liberal elite who didn't want people to see this film because open religious dialogue makes them uncomfortable influence your decision.

I saw the film three times. No true Christian would find it the slightest bit antisemetic. Caveziel is a devout Catholic, he does not have a Jesus complex. Gibson loves his father even though he is a crazy old man. What is so wrong with any of this?

I do also disagree with the liberal left and their reasons for disagreeing with the "Passion." Maybe they'll all burn in hell. I don't believe that Mel is anti-Jewish, although, IMO, he shouldn't let Reform/liberal Jews bait him.

And I'm not bashing charismatics, although there is some disagreement on deviating from scripture, the 2nd Commandment, and so forth. It just seems that there is a lack of Puritan commentary on the film. ...and maybe a lack of any sizable number of Puritans, come to think of it (little humor there).

Many forget, BTW, that Jewish leaders of Jesus' time were Romans.
