: : Antisemites THRIVE on anything that they can twist into propaganda. They've been using the Bible for years, and now they'll use an already skewed movie to get the kids that have short attention spans and like violence.
I've seen the Passion Play, and wish they would turn that into a movie. Like I said, it focuses on Jesus' life, his teachings, his miracles. The only Christians people see on TV are crazy right-wingers that are pro-life and anti-gay. They should have a better understanding of the Bible, and a movie showing the positive side to Christianity could encourage them to be more open-minded.
I'm not saying this to convert them, but for educational purposes. I'm not Christian at all, but I'm glad to have an understanding...a better understanding than some of the hardcore southern Baptists that say that believing in evolution is anti-Christian.
