With all the talk about the passion on BB I just had to get into it. The following is taken from
Pastor, D.M. Coe (He's not my pastor)
"10 Reasons I Will NOT Be Seeing "THE PASSION"
'Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ' has been the talk of the town for several months now. For the last few weeks I have been weighing the pros and cons of this film. Many people have been asking me if I was going to see it, and until recently I did not have an answer. After much meditation, the reasons below are why I have decided AGAINST seeing the film.
1. I am still not convinced that this film does not infringe on the 2nd Commandment.
2. Mel Gibson is a strict Catholic. I am a strict BAPTIST.
3. 'The Passion' is based partly on a 19th century book of visions from a German nun and mystic, Anne Catherine Emmerich.
4. I have never liked mixing my religion with the arts, humor, entertainment, etc.
5. "... if they hear not Moses and the prophets neither will they be persuaded..."
6. Monica Bellucci, who plays the part of Mary, the mother of Jesus, can be found all over the Internet in various stages of undress.
7. The Lord ordained 'preaching' as a way to reach the lost not 'acting'.
8. I do not wish to have images of actor Jim Caviezel in my mind the next time I pray.
9. I believe this is yet another subtle trick of Satan to make the Catholic church look 'Christian'.
10. I believe it is yet another way for Satan to illicit thousands of false professions of faith.'

I'll add one more I don't believe in going to the movie house to see a 'good' film. To me it's just like digging to the bottom of a sewer to find to a cheese buger.
