I believe that you missed my point there, Joe! *GRIN*  Dampen the righteous
rage a bit and focus on what I'm saying here.

I am not supporting the portrayal by any stretch of the imagination.  I am
simply asking the question:  If you want to be able to ban something
offensive to your particular flavor of belief, rational or otherwise, does
it not logically follow that each and every other flavor of belief, rational
or otherwise, should have the same right under the Freedom of Religion
clause in the U.S. Constitution?
 Do you support just your own rights and beliefs, or the rights of everyone?

I'm not seeking some anti-homosexual knee jerk reaction, or its opposite.
I'm asking a hard question that I believe should be thought about, something
that transcends this particular film and might involve a bit of deep thought
and maybe even painful realizations.


Frankly, I wouldn't waste my hard earned cash on such drech as this film.
But that's just my opinion of its value to me.  I could be wrong, but I
doubt it.

  As a blind veteran, I don't go to movies but any film portraying our Lord
and Savior as a homosexual or displaying him in any other context should be
banned   -------Original Message-------   From: dswinson Date: 5/4/2009

Fw:MovieCorpus Christi   Just out of curiosity, and in no sense representing
any sort of support for whatever this film may or may not be as I've not
seen or even heard of it before, But what stance did you and your
organization take when the moslems reacted against portraying Mohammed in a
cartoon against their beliefs and morals?   Seems like you may be hoist by
your own petard, caught in a "Sauce for the goose" sort of moment...

MovieCorpus Christi               All,   To read or not read....that is your
decision.  I did want to pass this along to as many as possible.  If the
list moderator tells me no, then, I will know better next time.   My comment
is simply.... Some things are not to be messed with.  It kind of explains
the way we are going in the nation and world.  I'm not too happy about that,
are you?   Best,   Max         May God's Peace dwell in your heart!     The
movie Corpus Christi is due to be released in June - August. This disgusting
film set to appear in America later this year and it depicts Jesus and his
disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in theatres for a
while. It's called Corpus Christi ' which means 'The Christ Body.' It's a
revolting mockery of our Lord. But, we can make a difference. That's why I
am sending this e-mail to you. If you do send this around, we may be able to
prevent this film from showing in America and South Africa . Apparently,
some regions in Europe have already banned the film. We need a lot of
prayers and a lot of e-mails.   As a Christian I want to take a stand in
what I believe in and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior.   At the
risk of a bit of inconvenience, I'm forwarding this to all I think would
appreciate it. Please help us prevent such offenses against our Lord. It
will take you less than 2 minutes! If you are not interested, and do not
have the 2 Minutes it will take to do this , please don't complain when God
does not have time for you, because He is far busier than we are..
Remember, Jesus said 'Deny Me on earth and I'll deny you before my Father'.
