I haven’t seen the film yet (though I intend to), but it seems to me that the Raving Atheist may have the definitive review of Mel Gibson’s film.
The notion that Christ died and suffered for the sins of others is a morally worthless one. If I whipped and then shot myself because Robert Blake killed his wife, my suffering and death would not make Robert Blake a better person, excuse his crime, or bring his victim back to life.
OHHH, very interesting. Never thought of it that way before
