Er, the other option is to accept that any reasonable person will draw that conclusion from his evasion when Pops' noxious notions are raised.

This is such a red herring. Do you know any 85-year-old men? The ones I know are half gaga, very frail. Even if he's in good health, he's got one foot in the grave already.

The articles I've read all seem to have one agenda - they object to movie because it is a literal depiction of what is in the Gospels.

It seems to be politically correct these days to blame the Romans for the death of Christ, and to whitewash the actions of the Jews - NOT "the Jews" in general - but the very specific Jews described in the Gospels who wanted Christ to be executed for blasphemy.

As Gibson says, what they object to are the Gospels themselves.

So making Gibson look like a nut case is what they're after.

How about you? Do you object to the depiction in the Gospels of the actions of the Sanhedrin? Do you think that this is, in and of itself, anti-Semitism?
