"Do you agree with this author of this delusional article?"

The only thing about the article that I find 'delusional' is the idea that Mel Gibson gathered together his 'co-conspirators' and proceeded to make a movie to offend the Gospel. If you fail to find the facts that are presented in the article troubling, then you are likely "an outsider looking in" on this forum.

Pornography? According to God's word, showing your nakedness to any but your spouse is Pornea.

I do find the so-called "facts" troubling as presented in this article. I am not sure what you mean by "outsider", so possibly you may be correct there, but I sure cannot confirm it for you.

If you want to debate the "facts" I find troubling, they are listed in comments #49 and #52. Let's discuss that, rather than what you believe I believe.

So you agree that the "Principal Figure" in a movie about Christ is somone other than Christ?

You agree that it is some great deception to describe the movie as depicting the "last twelve hours of Christ's earthly life"?

You agree that traditional Catholics tend to espouse Gnostic notions about the importance of Mary Magdalene in the life of Christ?

Are you sure only 1 thing is "delusional" in this article?

Though I understand your stance on the evil of porn and it's ability to greately hinder ones road to holiness, this statement is not altogether accurate.
