>>> "The writer's language is so stuffy..." <<<

Sorry Clark, I would take a Benadryl, but I doubt that it would clear-up my perception of your biases.

>>> "Boston has numerous 'Jewish Film Festivals'..." <<<

So, what does this have to do with our discussion here? Are you suggesting that they go out of their way to select attendees based on faith or political point of view as was done in the instance of Mel's film? LOL! If THAT'S your justification for The Passion's VIC (Very Important Christian) screening, then you'ld better work on it a bit! 8^D

>>> "Where's the sensitivity to Christians and what *they've* been through, like being thrown to the lions?" <<<

Earth to Clark! You're comparing this to the Holocaust, the attempted genocide commited in modern times by folks calling themselves Christians? Wow, if I weren't shocked by the outrageousness of your views I'd try to muster a laugh. Let's see, those poor abused Christians who were thrown to the lions, when? Oh yeah, nearly 2000 years ago!

As for Christians being the butt of *safe* jokes by Liberals, albeit toothless and spineless in your estimation, well, you only have bonafide space cadets like Jerry Falwell & Pat Robertson, hypocritical womanizing evangelists like Jim Bakker & Jimmy Swaggert and crazed cultists like David Koresh & Jim Jones to thank for that!

If Christian evangelicals and other weak-minded overzealous folks would keep their own council and leave the rest of us the you-know-what alone then there'ld probably be a lot less cause for concern over entertainment and how it might be perceived by the public at large.
