Now I'm a bit pissed off. Although I'm not a religious person, and would rather see all religions banned than have to live under the rule of one or another, I thought it was a bit weird at when the British Red Cross removed Christ from Christmas last year, because they didn't want to offend other religions.

And now, Mel Gibson's new movie is getting the same bum's rush in America (Land of the Free, and all that). They have decided only to play it in poor, predominantly black neighborhoods - and Texas. Why? Because you won't find many Jews in black neighborhoods - or Texas. And the Jewish community is in a uproar over the depiction of Christ being killed by the Jews.

Um, wasn't he? I mean, we can't rewrite history here. This isn't Disney, where they rewrite the end of all those Grimm Fairy Tales to make them G-Rated. A Jew turned Jesus in to the Romans for 30 pieces of silver. It's history. I've forgiven them. I'm sure Christ has, too.

Here's what it amounts to: In Canada in the 80's, there was a school teacher in the Prairies that was fired - and then criminally charged - for teaching that the Holocaust never happened. But it did. It's a piece of history, and a very painful one at that. It changed one culture for all time. Now they Jewish community is saying that they should not be depicted as the one's responsible for Christ's death. There's a harsh double standard!

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Enjoy the movie!
