Slow down everybody! Since when did making a film expressing one's personal faith equal creating a position paper for political conservatism? And since when does making a religious film that appeals to a socially and politically conservative base require that the film's creator fall into line with the precepts of that particular group? Can't someone believe in Jesus and be against the Bush administration's geopolitical policies? As Bob Dylan once said, "just because you buy my records, doesn't mean I owe you anything." The Passion Of Christ was a movie, not a conservative screed.
And BTW, the fact that I happen to be a liberal doesn't mean that I don't value life. I do. None of us, conservative or liberal, should be required to buy into any particular set of doctrines. We've all got to become a little more flexible in our thinking, doncha think?
what a schlepp
look i can kind of understand what he was saying here - that they both were demonized from varying aspects etc etc but come on praising Michael Moore having a Kinship with him. IF he had said he could empathize a bit with Moore that is one thing but a Kinship give me a break
Jesus was a liberal...
The Passion of Christ was a snuff movie
