  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It changed the scripture. Which annoyed me. And personaly speaking i dont think people should glorify how jesus suffered. I know its important to understand he suffored but seeing the savior in such pain destressed me.

Right on Andy. Historical Christianity has never embraced the horror of the Crucifixion. It is forbidden in all of it's art work. Western Christianity, under the influence of Augustine, has taken a far different view.

I'm with you. While I knew that Jesus suffered and the Passion definately takes more than a few liberties with the story, it brought the reality of his suffering to me in a way that had never been done before.

It is funny. This was the first movie that came to mind for me. It was very disturbing.

Anything particular you have in mind? ;)

Queen of the Damned: Completely mutilated Anne Rice's book so that it hardly made sense at all! And the acting was terrible! I always get annoyed when watching the Harry Potter films because they sometimes leave out key stuff in the story. Lol.

Anything based on a book that mutilates the story line so much using bad actors and a terrible script that it gives a bad name for the book it was derived from.

Perhaps Bourne Supremacy? I just had the misfortune of renting that. :sigh:

DO YOU SEE THE SPELLCHECK BOX BELOW THE QUICK REPLY BOX?

IF YOU HAD USED IT, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS RESULT:

"offencive" is misspelled.


Here are some suggestions:
offensive
offensives
affective
effective
offensively
effectives
offence
effectively
offensiveness
THE PASSION did not offend me, it horrified me.

My Blessed Savior, Lamb of God

Of course he didn't ask for an English lesson, and since you understand his meaning perhaps he didn't require one (or could have been given a nudge toward spell check in a private message)
