Well yes, all that does make me respect him a whole lot for being an amazing person. I think it's cool to try to live like him, too - almost no one does that, though.
I just think it's a pretty poor way to promote your religion - I mean with a real gory torture being the whole crux of the thing.
I mean why isn't the way he lived what it's all about? The way he died is really irrelevant to me - except demonstrating he was very committed to his beliefs. That's impressive in itself, granted.
I think what I'm trying to say is that it's too bad Mel Gibson decided to focus on this part of Jesus' life. And the reasons he gives for doing it are bad reasons for doing it, IMO.
