What excites me about the prospect of this film is that, by its very nature, it will be the antithesis of all the "Islam hugging" that's been shoved down our throats lately. You all know EXACTLY what I'm talking about...........how Islam is gaining converts left and right because of all the recent exposure by the media (
instigated by ACTS OF TERRORISM AND BARBARISM AROUND THE WORLD, I MUST REMIND EVERYONE).
With his star quality, Gibson will draw audiences around the globe with this film, and Christianity will be exposed to millions. The world will see that this is a faith based upon love.........not one based upon hatred, death, fire, and sword like Islam, or even elephant gods (Hinduism) or other idiotic Eastern religions that are so totally demonic and empty.
This film is like red meat put before a (spiritually) starving world, and for that alone, I thank Mel Gibson.
The evangelicals are distributing millions of videos of a film about the gospel of St. Luke. I understand it is not a great film, but it does have impact. If Mel's film is as good as advertised, then Catholics could get behind it. If 15 million church-going Catholics were each to buy a DvD.....It will be interesting to see how the hierarchy treats the film.
