The Passion Of The Christ

[Dro_Princess]

I finnaly got to watch this movie the other night. I didnt think I would like it too much because of the subtitles but when the movie started going they didnt bother me at all. It was a very good movie imo and actually made me cry when I seen the sceens of Jesus being beathen and put up on the cross. Anyone else seen this movie? What did you think?

[bong_man]

i laughed all the way true it lol and i was watching it with people who were crying and shit! they never looked at me the same :p

[Stemis516]

i thought it was a wonderful movie

[JunkYard]

yeah, it was good. I've seen it a few times.....

[rottenPauL]

it is a GREAT movie. Besides the whole "christianity" thing (im not a christian). It is one of the few movies that can touch me.

[Dreamberries]

I really enjoyed the movie but found some of it very graphic. I know it was suppose to be :) . Disturbing in a good way.

[Dro_Princess]

Yes it was very graphic, that beating was the worst beating I have ever seen. To me it was a very diffucult but moving thing to watch.

Another example of how ridiculous religion, in this case Christianity is.

Supposedly the movie depicts exactly how Jesus of Nazarath was handled by the Romans. Except no human could live through such torture. He would have been dead long before he was crucified.

More nonsense, violence, and mind control courtesy of the Church.

The human body is a amazing thing and it can take alot more than what some people think. I was watching a show on the discovery channel, I believe, and it was talking about Jesus being crucified. He was only on the cross 6 hours before he died, which is unusal because most people on the cross take days or even weeks to die. He died on the cross is such a sort time because of the beating he had endured before hand. He bled out internally.

[dannyboy420]

Stop trying to reconcile a myth with reality. It's a waste of time. There is no way to know how long Jesus was on the cross. The Bible is a terrible source for historical accuracy. It is a fairy tale.

[Dro_Princess]

^^ Im not trying to "reconcile a myth with reality" IMO the bible is not a "fairy tale" and it does have good historical accuracy. There are people and places mentioned in the bible that are backed up by archaeological findings. The bible cannot be proven nor disproven it all has to do with faith. My thread was about the movie not your personal distaste of religion or the bible, and I would like to keep it that way.

[pass_the_dubbie]

Heh....this thread made me remember stuff that happened today in my shed. I was sitting toking away peacefully but the shed was really hot and smoked out, I was listening to music aswell. A few joints on and a random weird al(i think) type song comes on the mp3 player "what if god smoked cannabis"....as soon as it played I felt this great coolness....it was amazing.

[Gatekeeper777]

they should have beat him harder!

he started a religion of repression and radical fanatisizm, as well as mystisizm. and a few other IZM's.

[Guajiro]

the movie was good , that was a hell of a beaten , but the bible those are the fanatics, respect it though although all the stories are full of it i mean the end of the world.............together with other religions makes the world a better place(those dudes need to get a life), now budism theres a religion.....,

[Gatekeeper777]

ALL religions should be outlawed.

He didnt create that kind of religon the people who follow it did. There are bad people in all cultures, communitys, and religons. Its not Jesus's fault that alot of people take it to the extreme and out of context.

[JunkYard]

Actually, if people would actually follow what he taught, the world be a better place, but as is, Christianity is a bastardized religion that causes great conflict among it's members and non members alike. People tend to speak w/o any understanding of Jesus at all. They ASSUME that todays Christians represent the attitude of the Christ man, but that couldn't be further from the truth, imo.

Jesus was da man!! ;)


Junk~

[stinkyattic]

Mel Gibson scares the living bejeezus out of me.

yes it is.
If david Koresh (sp) would have lived 2000 years ago hios brand of religion would be celebrated today just as well.

[Machello]

It was made by a Evangelical-Like person. Its all about the fire and brimstone of Modern religion. This is the kind of material that wars/zealots get the fire from. When you put the Painful moments and don't celebrate what being religious is about you miss the message.

God didn't send his son so we could see him for 6.50-$8.00 or rent it from blockbuster. God sent his son so that he could clear our plates of our sin if we place our belief in Him.

I am not even a moderate Christian and still feel I know more about the message that half the clergy. It seems is that they are all wrapped up in the story and effects of the Bible like some movie when they miss the whole message entirely.

[smoke it]

eh.... i saw it in the theaters. wasnt any good.

[dannyboy420]

If its all about "faith," you could have faith in anything.

For instance, I'm the messiah returned. It's true. Just have faith and do as I say. Don't ask for proof, just have FAITH!

[Dro_Princess]

I have faith that you're not the messiah.

I share that faith as well.


I agree alot of people over look what religon is really suppose to be about. Its suppose to be about loving one another and forgiveness. If everyone could just see that the world would be a better place.

[Antihero867]

Mel Gibson is a nut job and that is the reason i havnt seen this movie. He was just looking for a way to exploit peoples faith. If you are a true christian then you will base your faith on how jesus lived and not how he died. Of course him being crusified is a big part of the story, you should not bais your entire religon on his death. Basicley im bashing those people who saw this movie and then decided to become a christian because they are afraid of some physcos movie. What he diddnt tell you is how brutal the romans were in those days. Of course jesus got it worse it wasnt much worse compared to other crusifictions.

ok this was simply the most retarted comment ever, Jesus did not start any religion, he came here to teach the law of love and forgiveness.........

[BlAzInIt4:20]

:thumbsup: i loved the movie.. and yea the beating part was brutal... but it also made you think about ur life and shit thats goin on... defiantly an inspiring movie.. or at least for me it was..

wow
what hatered, have you not ever read the book of john?

[jdmarcus59]

i FIND THAT TO BE VERY INTRESTING THAT MEL GIBSON SCARES YOU WHY?

[slipknotpsycho]

wow
what hatered, have you not ever read the book of john?

i've read the entire bible a couple of times, what does that have to do with anything? i can see where he's coming from... he is histories (and the bibles) 'greatest' (and i don't mean the best, i mean greatest as in spreading said word farthest) preacher of god.... so i can understand how someone would say he started the entire ignorant (imo) religion...

but i believe christianity was around far before 'christ' was supposed to of been around...

[Pipe Dreams]

I didnt bat an eye when they were torturing or crucifying him. The movie was pretty damn good though.

A good work of fiction on a mythological issue.

[Pink_Floyd]

They should have made Jesus black in that movie is all I can say

[hazetwostep]

not black... middle eastern

[Matt the Funk]

It got kinda boring so I stopped watching about half way...but Apocalypto was fucking intense....

you can have faith in anything... like macroevolution! hey what do you know!!!

microevolution has been tested and proven.. nobody can argue survival of the fittest.

macroevolution takes faith since it cannot be tested to be proven.. and im not a creationist or anything. it is the truth.

i love diversity in thinking except when people get AROGANT and belittle the beliefs of others, whether it comes from the christian right or from the scientific athiests. it is just as wrong either way. it is comical when people bash the close-mindedness of the religious right and combat it with their own close-mindedness... ironic

you have become what you hate
