Caribbean had to do with the 17th century."
-That's an amazing piece of clairvoyance for someone who hasn't seen the
movie yet.
-A lot of scholars and even the pope (who's job it is to know about
these things) agree that it's a VERY good representation of history. "It
is as it was" I believe was the Pope's quote.
-I'm going to be there Wednesday to see it.

Subject: Final thoughts on Gibson
Wednesday Gibson's Passion will come out and there are some who are
worried that it will cause anti-Semitic attacks. The more I think about
it the more I know that it will not. Why? Because it's a movie.
Fictional entertainment. It has as much to do with the Christian Bible
as Pirates of the Caribbean had to do with the 17th century. People
don't go out and riot over works of fiction. If you have faith in
people's ability to know the difference between a movie and their
religion, then you have nothing to fear. Despite my low opinion of
humanity in general, I still think we can tell what's real and what's on
the screen. At least that's my hope. :) As for my final word, I'm just
going to parrot someone else's and ask: "I wonder how much money
Gibson's going to make off of the crucifixion".
