The thing is you aren't just sharing what your opinions, and your beliefs, but you're pushing it into people's brains. You can share what you believe it, no one will be angry at you for that, but when you start telling people how horrible they are for not believing exactly what you do, then it gets to just be disrespectful.

It isn't one bit anti-semitic. But the fact is, it WAS Jewish people who did it to him, and you can't just erase that frm history. Mel Gibson is just telling the story as it happened.

Way to be specific, John.

I'm sorry I'm not going to compromise my beliefs when I know they are right and from God to believe. Too bad some can't open their eyes to see the glory that is God. They can't see Him because they don't have Jesus in their heart.

Errick, you don't KNOW that they ARE right. And you can believe what you want, and everything. I believe what I believe is true, but you can't be so close-minded to not be open to other possibilities. And telling other people you're right and they're wrong isn't the greatest way to go about it all.

Yeah, I totally agree. It HAPPENED. They aren't making stuff up to be like "Oh Jews SUCK" or something. If they made a movie about slavery , wouldn't white people look bad? Too bad they had slaves, its what happened. You shouldn't have to edit history just because one group of people is going to get offended.

I just saw it for the first time. I knew Jesus went through alot but to actually see it like that, I still can't even fathom the amount of pain He went through. There are so many thoughts running through my head I can't even describe

it has subtitles, and its really god.

I got shocked. It really made me think.

I really was angry to the romans, i wanted to punch them, or to even shut them, I really cried with the role of Mary, i mean, she had a lot of strenght to bare all of what happend.

And jesus, well............when he's being punished, and her mother is watching. Oh My God.

Its a really shocking movie, it makes you think, a lot, and to reconsidrer what you are doing of your life.

If he went to all that to defend his word, I doubt that any of us has the balls to do that.

So go and watch it, its not anti semitic, its not controversial, its just a movie that tells the story that we already knew (well, not all of us), but we just didnt see it like that.

How scary is this..

A Texas man has been prompted by Mel Gibson's Passion film to confess he killed his girlfriend, a police spokesman has said.

Dan Leach, 21, said he killed pregnant girlfriend Ashley Nicole Wilson, found dead on 18 January, Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department said.

"He mentioned that speaking with a friend and seeing the movie made him feel remorse," police added.

Leach said he made it look as if the 19-year-old had committed suicide.

Her body was found in her apartment with a suicide note describing her depression. She appeared to have hanged herself.

Leach said he wanted to seek redemption after seeing The Passion of the Christ.
