Passion of Christ |
I watched the Passion of Christ movie for the first time last night. It was
almost pure blood and gore. It certainly was not uplifting religion.
I cannot understand how any sane person could believe that any real God
would put himself through such humiliation and torture? Why live for 33
years as a poor carpenter to bring his word to only a miniscule portion of
the human race and then die a humiliating and painful death by being
tortured and nailed on a cross with two criminals?
After all, God created man and mans sins. If he was a real God why didn't he
just forgive them without all the cruelty, torture and gore? And why didn't
he appear to the whole world and inform people directly that he was God and
what he expected of them? Why did he wait 100,000 years after man was on the
earth to so indirectly and ineffectively deliver his message. Why did he
create man with such nasty habits in the first place?
Many fairy tales are more believable than this gruesome story.

drained his beer, leaned back in the alt.atheism beanbag and drunkenly
proclaimed the following
You claimed that Jesus was loved by his followers as a God. I point
out that the Bible itself has Judas betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of
silver. Hardly the act of someone who worshipped Jesus. Then Peter,
after the arrest, denies even knowing Jesus three times! Hardly the
act of a loyal friend and follower!
Another Christer who doesn't even know what the bloody book says. Why
am I not surprised?
You sure are an angry person.
How do you arrive at that conclusion?
Anyway, they weren't positive at the time that he was God.
And remember, what those 2 did after Jesus' death?
One ran off to be alone and the other killed himself.
Which contradicts what you just said.
Oh, and the Gospels give Judas two different death scenes, and two
different stories for what he did with the money.

First by hanging himself then, after he was dead, by dashing himself
to the ground. Or was it the other way around? It's so hard to keep
these multiple suicides on a single body straight.

Houston. You are claiming than Houston is the business capital of the
US? Ever hear of New York City? Chicago?
As for ethnic variation, come to San Francisco sometime. Within
walking distance of my old place there, we had a Russian Orthodox
church, Vietnamese restaurants, an oil-change place owned by
Cambodians, an actual Chinese laundry, and a great tacqueria.

Read this story for a good laugh.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/01/26/oscar.passion/index.html
It seems there's a christian group thats furious with the
Oscars for not nominating PotC for best picture, claiming
they're biased against religious movies. Oh, it couldn't
possibly be because the movie wasn't good enough, no! its
because Hollywood doesn't like religious movies. Never mind
that religious movies have been honored in the past,
the article mentions several including Ben Hur.
These freaks are so upset they want to boycott Hollywood
and any sponsers of the Oscars! Think about it.
On one hand they're criticizing the Oscars for discriminating
against the movie because its religious in nature, claiming
religion should not be a part of the decision process,
and on the other hand they're championing the movie because
its religious in nature.
christians sure are messed up

I'd say there is nothing more pathetic than anyone needing anything
validated by Hollywood. Thing is this kind of political crap happens every
year because someone, somewhere thinks there favorite movie, documentary,
cartoon or whatever isn't getting a fair shake. Where oh where would we all
be without the rich and glamorous telling us who going to be patting
themselves on the back this year...
Did that sound a tad bit jealous?

Does this make me shallow?
Makes you honest.
That too. Honest and shallow. I can live with that.

Never seen it, never will. Nothing to do with the
content - I just refuse to watch any film which
has subtitles.
Any reason for that? You can't read? Or you are fluent in _all_
languages?

I can read, I just don't like to do so whilst
in the cinema. If I'm going to read a story,
I'll read the book.

Well, don't take it as offensive. It's less common in the USA. In
Europe dubbing is more or less on the way out. All foreign movies in
Holland are subtitled (Hollandwood doesn't make too many movies).
It's just a matter of getting used to it.
I rather dislike dubbed movies. Nothing more silly than John Wayne
stepping out of a saloon shouting: "Verdammt nog mal, pakke die
Kanone!"

I just thought of an exception - I bought Das Boot in
the subtitled version. Couldn't say why really, I've
seen both and just prefered the German one.

That's a nice example. Most movies are simply better in their original
language, even if you can' t understand it.
Subtitles may seem irritating, but you get used to it very quickly.
