How come we didn't hear about the "reality" of "The Passion?"

[MikeG]

But we are up to our ass in denunciations of the alleged "junk science" in "The Day after Tomorrow?"

1. Like Jesus wasn't a white man?

Yep.

NASA administrators banned their scientists from discussing TDAT with journalists. They were afraid the movie might be critical of the Chimpministration. A scientist leaked the memo to the press. Thank god for scientists.

And the White House briefly ordered NASA officials not to discuss the film, which takes some intentional jabs at the administration. After reporters got hold of the gag order, the administration rescinded the memo

2. The Passion -

is mythology -

3. Jesus was most likely crucified naked.

Mel Gibson put him in a loincloth. NNot one inch of is body was free of welts, lacerations, blood seeping out, but crucifying him naked, well that's just too much! :eyes: The Romans were well known to strip anybody naked as a form of humiliation (sound familiar?), and had no problem with one of the most heinous forms of excrutiating forms of execution ever invented. They ALWAYS crucified people naked, according to historians.

The Passion historically accurate? Not by this revision.

4. Jesus is Fiction

There is no reality to the Passion - Jesus is a fictional character.

5. The Passion is a fairy tale...

I don't think i'll ever see that movie.Watching a guy being tortured for over two hours is too much for me.I guest i couldnt qualify to be a guard at Abu Ghraib.

6. Easy answer

lie about Jesus (if he ever existed) and his life all you want - nobody is going to loose any money - but if people suddenly get all uppity about climate change that might make things difficult for certain politicians and the companies that pay them

7. because the violence in "The Passion" was what they were talking about.
