Christ was not all about meekness at all. He was about faith and obedience to his father and the fact that the way was opened for everyone including Gentiles and a whole lot more than I need to go into here.
I don't mean to be disrepectful but a lot of folks today have saddled Christianity with simply being nice and doing good deeds yet Christ himself says that "good deeds alone are not the entrance to heaven" (paraphrased)
I defend the movie based on my own feelings after seeing it. The fact that most of the detractors are my ideological foes in the culture war is not suprising. I applaud those Jews with the cajones to stand with THEIR CHRISTIAN BRETHREN.
However, in your defense, my wife is not jewish nor a detractor.

Oh yes he was and I can quote scripture all night long to prove it. You will not win a single convert with wrath and affrontery. I'm no whim. In fact I'm an irrascible sob but that's just me. The Power of the Gospel is Christ crucified and resurrected. Not pushy preaching. Not overly bloody movies.
