Do not include others in your cluelessness. Happiness can be yours
when you stop scaring it away.

I'm quite happy with my life thanks. Not scared at all.

To me personally, there's no question that this movie is not
appropriate for pre-teens or younger teenagers. It's rated R for
violence alone, which means it's quite violent, and at its heart the
plot is about someone being tortured to death.


It is? Really?

Does that mean that book on which it is based also has
a plot which revolves around someone being tortured to
death?


You mean the adult fairytale called the "Bible"? The worst piece of
fantasy I've ever read: stupid, boring and condescending.

Yeah, like you read it

I have, in four languages, and he's absolutely right.

Do you mean "Dolorous Passion"By Anne Catherine Emmerich the book that
inspired Mel Gibson's film?
---------------------
No, I mean the bible is a fairy tale, if you research it you will
find that it is far too old and long-ago and far away to conceivably
be accurate, and for it to be more than a piece of 4th century fiction
that was contrived to control serfs in the incipient Dark Ages. It's
an intriguing myth, but it smacks not of history, but of myth. Myths
evidence the **** in our heads, and not actual historical truth at all,
from Genesis, which was a Babylonian fairy tale told to children LONG
before the Jews ever got ahold of it, to the insane antisexual
meanderings of Paul a century after Jesus, who is believed to have
conspired to re-write the so-called gospels to his own uses in promoting
his own cults.


To make a movie so that people can sit there and feel "moved"
by the 1.5 hour beating so that you see his ribs after so much
of his skin has been torn off and now they can "appreciate"
"what he did for me" but in HUNDREDS of posts never say one word about
how exactly they would change their lives, says something about
today's world.
[]
NOT A WORD about his teachings.
--------------------------
Precisely, but that's true of the Xtian religion itself, WITHOUT Gibson
or Emmerich!

It is pretty ****ing silly, but then so is all modern Xtianity, the
stupid dog**** religion that turned a message of a loving communist
God who wanted the rich to die, and the poor to rule, into a sick
set of stories that use sex as the model of sin, instead of greed,
and punishes children for masturbating instead of the real message!


Sick flick."
-----------------
Yup. But no moreso than modern Xtianity itself!

Russia and China did not acheive communism. They only
achieved a state that was in control. In a real commune, the
state would not be necessary.

No, that's Marxism, and real Communism is NOT Marxist.

In real Communism, the State is the Democratic Majority
which would be the ONLY permitted power.


Jesus, btw, practiced pure communism.

No, Jesus practiced charity, totally different than Communism,
and more stupid, see what it got him?
