do not speak its name
5,000 pastors can't be wrong, right?
"Mr. Gibson said he showed [the movie] to one agnostic friend, 'and the next day, he read all four of the Gospels.'
The crowd gasped.
'Like he saw the movie, and that made him want to read the book,' Mr. Gibson said."
Um, thanks for explaining that, Mel.
One of my coworkers to a customer: "It was a really powerful movie. I've already seen it three times." Does the number of times one's seen it reflect on the depth of one's Christianity? Because that's what half the people who talk about it seem to think. Blood and gore and violence + popcorn = religious experience.
I hope the box office luck and all the praise and glowing reviews from parents who take their children to see this movie stroke Mr. Gibson's ego satisfactorily.
