[QUOTE="Nate_The_Agnostic, post: 1973367, member: 29030"] The Passion of the Christ is an instrument for Christians, with no real interest in teaching non-Christians about what makes Jesus so special. I may get some flak for this, but Jesus' suffering was not the worst suffering of all time. Plenty of victims of the holocaust match or beat Jesus on the suffering-meter. What makes Jesus special is the resurection. When Jesus rose from death, it symbolized a very important part of Christianity: Eternal Life. But how much of the movie focuses on that? 1%? The majority of the movie is spent on the crucifixion. And that's a shame, because there were much greater things in his life. Now, I know that the Christians in this forum don't feel the need for a lesson as much as I do, but I would have rather seen what Jesus stood for, what his beliefs were, his teachings. But, like I said, this movie is not for non-Christians. One of my friends, who is at seminary, had a classmate that asked the teacher "Is the antichrist really going to be named Nicholai?" The scary thing is that some Christians will take this as being as true as the scripture, instead of taking it with a grain of salt as a man's interpretation. But, then again, the scriptures themselves were some men's interpretation on the life of Christ. [/QUOTE]
