Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

"Humility is not something that our pop culture embraces." BINGO!

But look at what they *do* embrace:

Martin Scorsese's 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ was based on Nikos Kazantzakis' 1955 novel in which Jesus appears as a tormented, fearful young man confused by sex and uncertain of his path in life. The film was condemned by virtually every Christian denomination, both here and abroad, was protested, picketed, subject to boycotts and bomb threats, and excluded from the titles carried by the huge Blockbuster Video chain.

I read the book (really very good) but missed the movie. Knowing Scorsese, it was probably trash. But liberals loved it because it dissed the Christians. Likewise must they hate The Passion. Nor do I think it has anything to do with "anti-Semitism"; that's just a gloss.
