Mel Gibson and "The Passion of The Christ"

Post #1

Post by Sleeper »

After reading many articles and seeing a number of interviews with Mel Gibson about his movie, I have realized why there are so many against Gibson and his movie.

It will inspire thought and will also inspire people to read the gospels. The secularists in this country don't want that at all. They are wanting this country to move away from Christianity not embrace it.

What are your thoughts on why the Mel Gibson is receiving such harsh criticism over "The Passion of The Christ"?

I'm not certain Jesus was even crucified on a cross. The Bibles says he was crucified on a xylon, which translates to tree and stauros, which translates to stake. I think the cross is actually taken from Paganism to represent the solstices.

They would nail them anywhere to anything.
Trees were always handy if they were around.
