I actually agree with the attempted preemptive shutting down of anyone with a different opinion. That's always a good sign right? Why is it the "most tolerant" here always seem to deal with differing opinions the worst? Claim such tolerance yet do things like this, pointing the first finger before anyone even disagreed. Such blind hypocrisy. As far as the OP, I haven't read the book or seen the movie so I can't really comment, but I can say that God can work through things we can't imagine. As corn as it is, "The Passion" was the first time I ever heard many things about what happen to Jesus, I didn't even know He was betrayed by one of His own guys before I say that. I wasn't truly saved until years later, and I very much agree with you about making up our own God and not getting to know the TRUE and ONLY God because we worship a feeling we have rather that the True God, but He can use these thing to stir hearts, even if they are off. I think so anyway, but fully agree with you about making up our own God and trying to shut down any other opinion before they are even heard, I feel that is a DANGEROUS mentality to have.
