Darkman, that's more than a tad bit insulting to the religion.
Cerek, I agree with the NYT article. I mean, *I* know the story, but it would take only minor tweaking to make the story -- a universal one to religions sanctifying martyrdom -- more accessible to other religions. Universal truths are, after all, universal truths (supposedly). Again, I reiterate that I have not seen the movie -- it may be expertly done for all I know.
Now, as to predestiny and preordained things, I am a bit rusty on my bible, being 15 years or more out of the loop, but I don't think Jesus *knew* of his fate ahead of time. Willing to face it, yes, but aware of it ahead of time? Father, why have you foresaken me??? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]
