we are the clear majority, he proceeds to explain why we are merely a vocal minority: The power of this minority within the Christian majority
"minority within the Christian majority"
Sounds more like is is discussing only one segment of Christians and not all.
BTW, I also thought the whipping scene was over the top. Shards of flesh being torn repeatedly by the whip, as shown in the movie, being the prime example.

Just a question for you?
If that beating was given to Osama Bin Laden, Adolph Hitler, Saddam Huessin a Serial Child Killer do you think it would be over the top?
Jesus took a beating for people like them as well as all of us...

BTW, I also thought the whipping scene was over the top. I haven't seen the film. But I think Gibson's point was to show the truthful magnitude of the sacrifice that was made. To santitize it even slightly would be to minimize it.
