I was inspired to cobble together/add unto my Passion posts from Thursday. Since you were catalysts for some of it, and in case this angle interests you, a ping. Please chime in.

That is great Anna.

Incredible actually.

I agree completely with the phases of attack implemented by the detractors.

I saw Mike Medavoy last night on TV yeehawing that all this publicity good or bad is what has catapulted this movie. I was suprised. It dawned on me just how out of touch a rather saavy Hollywood mogul can be. Point is that the second we knew that the same fellow who brought us Braveheart, Patriot and We Were Soldiers was doing a film on Jesus then it was painfully obvious that a slew of folks were going to want to see it....dead languages notwithstanding.

The opposition has only steeled the resolve and as a good byproduct in my view....opened up the most candid dialogue between cultural polar opposites I've seen in my life. The exchange between William Donohue and Medavoy would not have been possible prior to this film.

Again, well done. I think we have a sitter for Monday afternoon so we can go for the first time. I would imagine I will buy the DVD.

Thank you for the -ping-. You have beautiful insights.

The reaction of detractors of this film is naturally interesting to me. No, more than interesting. Fascinating, though I'm sure my fascination will ebb. My prayers include a request that the detractors receive an abundant helping of the Holy Spirit.

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:17
