"From all the depictions I've read, what actually happened to Jesus Christ is worse than anything we're showing. Mel and I grappled with going all the way with it. But we couldn't do that, to Him, or to our audience. The third whip they used on Him had hooks in it, which literally tore the flesh off His body. He was shredded. ![](http://www.dalitstan.org/journal/images/christ.jpg)

Excellent post, NYer.
It is comforting to know that there is spiritual devotion among at least some in the entertainment industry.
I can't imagine his devotion to his faith and his God has made life easy for him in his chosen profession and I would not be at all surprised to learn he has been rejected or not considered for roles because of his moral character and/or religious beliefs.
God bless him and Mel Gibson for making this film. I anxiously await it's opening.
