The Passion of the Christ: please help me

I haven't yet been fotunate enough to see it. I think I'll wait for the sequel.

Jerry Bruckheimer presents…
A John Woo film…

Jesus has risen, and he's pissed! It's payback time baby.

Antonio Banderas is Jesus in:

The Passion of The Christ II: Dead Reckoning

Also starring Martin Lawrence.
This film is not yet rated.

I'm reminded of south park's "Passion of the Jew":

[/QB]Stan:
That movie sucked ass. Give us back our eighteen dollars.

Film Clerk:
I can't refund your money. You sat through the whole movie.

Stan:
That wasn't a movie, that was a snuff film!

Kenny:
(Yeah!)

Stan:
You can't charge people to watch a guy get tortured for two hours!

Film Clerk:
That guy happened to be Jesus, and he went through all that to pay for YOUR SINS!

Stan:
We go to church to learn that stuff! We go to movies to be entertained! We weren't entertained, and we want our money back!

Film Clerk:
I'm now allowed to give you your money back after you sat through the whole movie! You'd have to take your complaint up with the film's producers.

Stan:
W-what? Mel Gibson? You're saying we have to get our money back from Mel Gibson?

Film Clerk:
Yeah. I'd like to see you try.

Stan:
Oh, we will! This is America! And in America, if something sucks, you're supposed to be able to get your money back! Come on, Kenny!

Lethal Weapon? ;)

I think my mom liked that one. It may have even replaced Patch Adams as her fave film

How can you say it's "factual" when the whole bible crap is fiction anyway? I mean, answer me this…..if there's a Jesus and God and all that stuff, why the hell was there a tsunami on boxing/stephens day? Or a Holocaust, or an Armenian earthquake or a George Bush etc. etc.

There are more secular sources backing up that there really was a person named Jesus then there is confirming there was someone named Oliver Cromwell.

God gave us free will…. the fall and Adam and Eve, remember all that stuff.


So the consensus is it is a pretty shit movie. Only one person so far liked it.

If I had the jewels of heaven awaiting me, and wasn't getting laid like Jesus wasn't, i certainly wouldn't have held on for dear life.

he clearly put them to good use…. Water into wine, couldn't he have turned those barbs into feathers?

If there is a GOD then it's for sure that HE likes to watch us suffer. And that's fucked up. Jeffrey Dahmer used to like to watch animals suffer.

That is Unlikely

Napoleon Dynamite?

Well, maybe nor Dahmer. But I read that torturing small animals is, like, a prime indicator of sociopathy, or something. Maybe it was Ted Bundy..?

How did we get from Jesus to Dahmer?

Well Dahmer did have a dead animal fascination that grew into a dead human fascination. I dont think he liked torture, he just wanted some dead bodies to play with.

I think that makes him an atypical serial killer.

Then Bundy, goddammit!

Anyway, the whole GOD concept doesn't pass the logic test:

If God is all powerfull, then why did HE create such a fucked up system wherein we have to be redeemed? Why not be redeemed from the gitgo?

Because then we get to choose God. Is it not better to be loved out of choice rather than a forced to love due to fear.

Although it seems to me only the young and stupid or old and scarred of dying people believe in God.
