Is this your way of not answering the question?

Restate the question and I'll answer it so folks here can pounce on whatever I say. I honestly haven't a clue what this 'profound' question is, in your mind. And why do you want me to answer it? Because you value my input? Or because you think it is an unanswerable question? Be honest.

jdrabinski,


So far I totally disagree with everything I’ve ever read from you on this board, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to hear your answers. From my understanding, this is how a debate happens. One party states something, the other party counters. We are waiting for your answer. This “unanswerable” question was a few posts back

Quote from tailgater:

“So I again ask:
How would you show the events of 2000 years ago?”
__________________________________________________________

This question I believe stems from a post from you:
“People posting here obviously still believe this myth that the Jews killed Jesus, unaware (I think) of the persecution that has resulted from this. Or perhaps they think that persecution is well-deserved? Frightening, but the politics of this board are outright scary”
_________________________________________________________

To paraphrase tailgater’s question. If you were to make a movie about the life and death of Jesus, what story would you tell?

I would not reinvent and retell the hateful myths that have led to the persecution of Jews for centuries.

The fact that so many on this thread seem to think the Jews kill Jesus tells me that, perhaps unbeknownst to them, they were raised in churches with anti-semitic doctrines.

I trust the Anti-Defamation League on this one. I find it frightening how little concern people here have for anti-semitism. Very instructive about how people accept this form of racism, I guess.

I don’t know if that answered the question. You told me how you wouldn't film it, but not how you would.

And, I don’t want to speak for everyone on this board, but I don’t think anyone here believes the Jewish race is responsible for Jesus’ death. Besides, it was Jesus’ death that saved your and my soul. Is that such a bad story to tell?

Do you expect me to produce a script? Or outline a screenplay? Give me a break. As I suspected, you didn't want an answer.

There have been countless films made about Jesus, few of them playing on the hateful image of Jews.

If you think folks here don't think that about the Jews and Jesus, reread the thread. Pay attention to the eeiry 'it is written in the book' type of stuff. What do you think they are alluding to? You know it, but you won't say it because then you'd have to agree with me. But it's right here on this page.

Seems like we took a nasty turn.

John is under the impression that to be Christian you are therefore an anti semite.

I don't see the corrolation.
Jesus was Jewish. His own people (the Jews) offered him up to the powers of Rome for crucifiction. I don't see how that is a hateful representation, and it certainly isn't malicious as you imply.

The persecution of Jews has been a heinous crime against humanity. Nobody here denies that, yet you claim we're anti semitic.

And although the Bible is perhaps the major source of reference to show the Jews did send Jesus to his death at the hands of Rome, it also never asks for retaliation of any sort.
In fact, it clearly points out that the crucifiction of Jesus was essential to the focal point of Christianity; namely that Jesus died FOR US.

How and why you choose to use the life of this greatest of men as a battlecry for anti-ANYTHING is beyond me.
You sit there and point fingers and make accusations that are simply untrue.
You call us anti-semites for wanting to see a movie about Jesus.
You've called us racist for criticizing affirmative action.
You've called us sheep for believing in a conservative agenda.
And all the while you assume the fetal position and play victim when somebody calls you to task.
What the hell is wrong with you?

I realize the odds are not in your favor on this board, but it's no fun playing with someone who can "dish it out but can't take it".

I think John Boy was an Only Child?? and he has spoils beyond repair... therefore he likes to lash out at the many's on the board for any reason he can come up with... in best interest he needs to stay away from the Bottle...

it's all spoken in anient sandscript, with subtitles in spanish, chinese and ancient essene.

i understand mel is very dogmatic about his interpetation of events (remember he wasn't there).

since i have no personal ax to grind about religeon other then it's determental effect on the social order of our (homo sapien) history. i look forward to either being entertained or not.

same interest in "the regans"

i'd like to add, so i will, prejudging any of these "controversial" bits of theater, shows a complete lack of intellect (that means you are a dumb ass) and an unfortunate lack of personal trust in one's own personal ability to make judgements for oneself. (that means, you have no balls and should not be allowed to reproduce and extend your weak link into the collective gene pool.

if you can't trust your own judgement i would suggest the tv guide to important viewing.

does it matter more about dennis miller being thrown off mon nite football or rush quitting or being thrown off the espn talk show.

don't they still have the mouth that speaks and speaks and speaks until i remember the mute. joe thiesman.

tailgater

how much does it cost to see mel's dad.

and what does he do when you see him?

i like most of gibson's work s an actor. i believe he acted as a tacher whose face was disfigured because of a fire. he dis a great job acting as a person whose face was disfigured. but i believe he was acting.

a little research about his father turns up my kind of man. a little on the edge. ufo's cool.

but i believe he has stated that there was no holocaust. some sort of conspiracy between hitler and the jews to fight the arabs. so i am waiting for word from a few of my relatives to find out where they have been.

why don't you pretend everything you disagree with doesn't exist.

i go away for one lousy week and you guys are picking on someone else.

one does not attain prickdom overnight, and i resent being demoted.

incidentally, i spoke to the big guy when i was dead and you are ok in his book. he sent me back for other reasons, but you don't need to know them.

Charlie

always good to see your name around. i allways miss our litle to do's like

"Showtime farce" about the regeans.

hMMMMMMM or is that
HHHHHHHHmmmmmmmmmj

It was historically inaccurate. Several family members and close associates have gone on the record and said that this was nothing more than a hack job.

document your sources.

"Jesus’ death that saved your and my soul" says who. prove it. document. who said you have a soul. if you do, what is it and what is it saved from by the death of some poor bugger 2000 + years ago. something about his father killing him by hanging him on a 2 x 4 to suffer for several days so "your soul" can be "saved"

why? of what more importance is your "soul" than the guy who ostensively died saving yours.

i did it. it is all my fault. i am the anti everything including "antifreeze"

if you refuse to tithe me, starting next week or maybe after thanksgiving, i'll see how i feel.

and forget that 10% crap, i can do better at wal-mart's. i am looking for minimum 10% below wholesale or without an invoice, minimum 35% off msrp and yoyu eat the shipping charges and setup fees.

the flu is all i need. a strong wind doesn't hurt either.


step up to the plate, or sit down and shut up.
