I'm not "trying to drag homosexuality, abortion, and divorce into a discussion about a movie". One more time...I'm simply pointing out that those noisily protesting this unseen film are touting the opinion of "authorities" whose Scripture interpretations on most any other subject they'd most certainly reject out of hand. And these are clearly interpretations.It seems to me that the arguments about this film are hypocritical. Views on censorship, free speech, religion, effects of movies on viewers, and more seem to be quickly thrown out the window at the first faint hint of a non-PC interpretation. Or don't you think people can be trusted to make up their own minds?
Again...none of those who are so upset by Gibson's film have seen even a trailer on it, yet their minds are made up.
