Lebell, I know it's probably tough for both of us to accept that we may have such divergent perspectives on this.
I respect your views. Obviously I don't understand them the way you do. I suppose I felt the need to say something regarding the current clamor over Gibson's film.
The other issue that seems to be inflaming folks - the question of who might be responsible for Christ's death - doesn't really grab me the way the issue of how the spiritual lesson is conveyed. That's the one I chose to comment on.
It's really a personal statement. I do see the type of religious education my classmates and I received as children as psychologically abusive. As you know, it was executed in the context of actual and repeated physical abuse as well.
I can temper my views regarding the subject in general. However, I can't pretend my experience was other than it was.
