i think this is silly
even if you don't BELIEVE in the spiritual stuff of the bible, it's been proven historically accurate.

Mr. Negativity
Let's Just ask the only important question, when the council at nicea was deciding which gospels to keep in the bible, they left out what would have been by far the most intriguing thing ever written. You guessed it folks, those bastards left out THE BOOK OF JESUS h. CHRIST! Its a religion based around the life of this guy, and you're gonna go let i sink to the bottom of the dead sea? that's like taking raunchy sex scenes out of porn in order to only keep the cheesy dialogue. and if I've learned anything from the internet, its better to remove the cheesy dialogue than the dirty sex. Amen!

I JERK OFF TO ARCTOPUS
I read most of the Newsweek article that concluded that the film was anti-Semitic and their reasons are ridiculous. The central one I remember is that Pilate is portrayed with a good side, but Caiaphus isn't. I don't quite understand how that's anti-Semitic.
I think Gibson will have done a good job if he presents a film that's firmly neither anti- nor philo-Semitic, but open to having it be interpreted in a lot of different ways. That's the strength of the Bible, and just like the Bible, you can only see it as anti-Semitic if you yourself are already anti-Semitic and want to find a text to justify your anti-Semitism. Certainly, I think most people nowadays interpret the "Let our sins be upon us and our children" line to be condemning HUMANITY, not Jews.
I do need to see the film, and also finish the Newsweek article, before I heartily defend or attack it, though.
