Jesus Christ Beyond Thunderdome

Pretty standard article from Reason magazine on that Gibson guy who actually thinks he has a right to be a film producer and a devout Catholic. There is only 1 thing that disturbs me about this article and it is this paragraph:

"Few people worry about an outburst of violent anti-Semitism in the United States. But in its own way, the attitude of some champions of "The Passion" is troubling. A few seem positively gleeful about the distress caused by the movie -- and quite in-your-face about it. 'I want to see any movie that drives the anti-Christian entertainment elite crazy,' conservative commentator Laura Ingraham has been quoted as saying."

Just what about this is troubling??????? The fact that people who have been very aware of anti-Christian bias are gleeful about seeing some of it exposed?? The fact that some people adopt an in-your-face attitude much the same way that supporters of anti-Catholic films and art do?? Perhaps this really explains the trouble with Mel Gibson, who by most accounts was not always the devout Catholic guy he has become. He is now taking his politically incorrect and unapproved faith (traditional Catholicism) and using it to make a film about Jesus, without the express written consent of the elite. I have adopted such an in-your-face attitude with this film that I intend to see it more than once, even though I will be looking down into the popcorn bucket during most of the violent scenes. The Faith on Tap group I belong to will probably get together and see it as a group, and I will be sure we adopt an in-your-face attitude. And yes, this makes me positively gleeful!
