The Passion of the Christ

[rrfield]

I plan on seeing the movie. I believe my parents are planning on taking my younger brothers (14 and 12) to see the movie.

Where do you live, Eric. We haven't really met til we've met face to face. Jesus was a reasonably common name 2000 years ago (still is). So clearly there were people named Jesus. The Jesus of the bible is, as I mentioned earlier, a composite of probably several different men, one of whom may have been crucified (probably for spreading sedition). I do not believe such a person really existed.

IDLEchild, I would disagree about the greatest myth. Abraham, plagiarizing various Etruscan, Sumerian and Mesopotamian religious myths and selling the amalgamtion to the tribes of Israel gets number one in my book. That's just an opinion though.

I know Jesus is a common name. I had a friend named Jesus(pronounced Hay-zeus) which is the Spanish version. I have said it before. I grew up in MD. I am now in NC cause thats where my school is.

Well, if I get over that way I'll look you up so you won't be able to say you never met anyone who thought the biblical Jesus never existed anymore.

I'm gonna give this movie a big pass, though I think the wife wants to see it, but it's not for me

 

[BlurOfSerenity]

i want to see it, and so do a lot of the girls in my Bible study group. i imagine that we may all go see it together. if not, i can probably get shannon (one of the girls in the study as well as my best friend) to go with me. she's everyone's movie-buddy

I'm torn about seeing this movie because of the violence. I don't usually handle violence and suffering very well, even knowing that it is makeup and special effects. I'll probably wait until it comes out on DVD.

I'm going to see it because, well, I am a Religious Studies major and I would actually like to see how this retelling differs from that of "King of Kings" and "Jesus".

Regarding the violence - well, the reality is that this story is violent, whether or not you believe it to be fiction or nonfiction. I'm just very curious to see what all the bruhaha is about ...

I just hope it will be as good as Last Temptation of Christ(anyone else read that or seen the movie? the book is fantastic)that was also controversial.

I had a "non-caucasian" friend who always used to say: I believe in Jesus.....he makes the best tacos.


All the local churches bought tickets for their congregations to go--nearly to the point of selling out all shows in the past week. They also mass produced fliers to hand out to other movie-goers. That kinda upsets me. Sure they have the right to see it, but I'm not going to a theatre and scramble to get a ticket only to be outnumbered by a church group advertising themselves and their beliefs. Just not sure how much that'd affect my attitude towards the topic (and the movie).

I'll probably snag it on the $0.99 DVD rack in a year or so. Right after I see LoTR, et al.

Anytime any organized religion comes out strongly in favor of something, to the point where they're bussing their people in, I get nervous. Doesn't mean I won't see it, but that makes me wonder where the hook is.

Doesn't mean you don't want to see it, but...

I know just what you mean.

Like Girls Gone Wild XXII?

*scribble*

Added. Thanks.

You know, I think I've decided, I'm just going to have to stop surfing for porn when I start sending my girls off to college. If any of them want to go to Florida for Spring break, I think I'll just shoot myself.

 

[Professur]

Chaperone them. Take the missus.

 

[PT]

Hell no, I ain't going either.... Probably end up on Guys gone Wild....

 

[Professur]

Um, that's a gay porn. (just looked it up) You're worried about being in a gay porn? Now you're worrying me.
