I commend you Art for attempting to make sense of it... I too do not agree with the arguments used in favor of this movie nor do I understand the logic behind Jesus as suffering for our sins. However, I have more or less given up on trying to create any rational arguments against any belief that boils down to believing something based upon “faith” and the oogly-boogly feeling you get when something weird happens in your life. It is a loosing battle as the belief based on faith isn’t rational or logical. I am sure I offended some one by that statement, and I am sorry if I have, but that doesn’t change my opinion. In any case, I do appreciate the Gibson movie for creating controversy and generating discussion (even if it is more or less the hitting your head on the brick kind). I do not appreciate the Gibson movie as from most accounts it propagates anti-Semitist feelings and that must be obvious to Gibson and the creators of the film.
