Question Details Asked By Asked On
Crucifixion QueenChoux 08/06/05
    I'd like you'r thoughtful comments on the following: Hollywood actor-director Mel Gibson has been asked to recreate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in the streets of Sydney if the city is selected to host a major Catholic gathering in 2008, a newspaper reported Saturday.

    Gibson's staging of the Stations of the Cross, a live interpretation of Christ's final hours, would be part of a bid by the city to secure the Catholic Church's World Youth Day in 2008, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

      For Krewton, in view of his rating here :

      Thank you for "black starring" me here for no reason, no reason at all..
      Thank you for showing how thin your christian veneer actually is.
      Thank you for proving how empty your apology on the atheism board really was.

      Also see my latest "question" on this board. For you, and only you.

      Dozens of Filipino devotees mark Good Friday by volunteering to be nailed to wooden crosses in what has become a tourist attraction in Asia's most populous Roman Catholic country.

      Yes Choux,

      Maybe you are right in that the date chosen by Mr. Gibson is not the best one.

      Which makes me wonder whether he is not only interested in the religious side of his play but also, on the economic aspects?

      It seems that his recent movie has turned out to be a most fantastic success from the standpoint of financial profit...

      C, I don't fault Mel Gibson as a money- grubber. He is more a true believer. In fact, his true believer status is what makes him interesting.

      Clarification/Follow-up by curious98 on 08/12/05 9:23 am:
      Yes Choux, but don't you think his is a little bit on the bigotry side? A true believer should not mind other beliefs nor other people not believing what he/she believe.
      Whereas bigotry brings sooner or later intolerance, and intolerance brings sooner or later hate, which is the opposite of love.
      And love should be the "motto" appearing in our shield to go about life...
      Don't you think?

      Claude
