With all due respect...your sins perhaps because you believe it, but not mine. I do not believe Jesus was the son of God or the savior, therefore Jesus did not die for the atonement of my sins, not even a little. This is one reason why I would find zero upliftment from a movie that graphically depicts his tortue and execution. Like I already mentioned, I prefer more benign uplifting imagery in my spiritual path. Jesus with a halo is okay, but being tortured and hanging bloody from the cross...no thanks.
Anyway, I don't want to start a religious tussle or anything. I have my perspective, and I recognize and respect that you have yours Cerek. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I will wait for the DVD and watch the movie then. Until then I guess I really have no place or grounds to further comment.
