Okay, send me your hate mail and get it over with.

Oh yeh, that’s a real show of love – a human sacrifice – correct me if I’m wrong but most tribes who practice human sacrifice are looked upon as medieval or worse – downright UNCIVILIZED. Yet here it is in graphic.  WHAT sin? You have to CREATE laws in order to break them - it seems mankind (or at least those who follow organized religions) are intent on creating rules that they can break in order to confess or repent and then be “saved” for some imaginary afterlife. Isn’t this too a SELFISH motive? That in repenting or in leading a good life from the outset, you wil be REWARDED? It’s all about the rewards isn’t it?  No matter what you may claim about unselfishness and helping mankind and being good – even the mythical figure of jesus KNEW – absolutely KNEW – that he was going to be “rewarded “ for his suffering – to sit at the right hand of god – tell me – who in my readership wouldn’t go through hellish suffering such as his to be – literally – the second most powerful being in the universe? (provided you regard that hokum as “fact” in the first place).
the POINT of the gospel – as so many here have tried to elucidate – is obviously that if you create a faulty device, then send in a relative to take all the “bad” out of your creation BY MURDERING YOUR RELATIVE – now HOW this transfers the “bad” over to your relative and absolves your creation is beyond ANY kind of rationality and has never EVER been explained by any christian. Is this something like matter transferral or beam me up scotty? What are you people TALKING about?

So Caviezel was struck by lightining while on the cross – big deal – has anyone even REMOTELY considered that a hundred thousand other coincidences like this occur on every single film set, but because the movie’s subject matter is not as universally regarded as “sacred”, it’s passed off as what it is – a coincidence.
