Mel Gibson, holocaust denier.

Personally, i consider the entire work to be largely fiction . . . i ain't got a dog in this fight, though . . .

Mel Gibson's new Movie...called "the Passion"



A few Sundays ago (March 9, 2003) there was an article in The New York Times Magazine section about Mel Gibson. He is making a movie about the last twelve hours
in the life of Jesus. He is going to show that the Jews killed him. He is filming this in Latin and Aramaic with no subtitles. He belongs to a group that believes this Roman Catholic Church is too liberal and that things should go back to the way they used to be before 1965 when the church apologized to the Jews for their behavior towards
them. His father says that the "Second Vatican Council was a plot put out by the Jews."
Hutton Gibson, his father, also believes that 911 happened not by terrorists on planes but by "remote control." He also believes that the Holocaust never
happened. He says that you cannot dispose of so many bodies and his new wife says "There weren't even that many Jews in all of Europe." and then Hutton adds "Anyway, there were more after the war than before." When asked if Jews might be offended by his movie, Mel Gibson says: "It's not meant to. I think it's meant to just tell the truth. I want to be as truthful as possible. But when you look at the reasons Christ came, he was crucified-he died for all mankind and he suffered for all mankind. So that, really, anyone who transgresses has to look at their own part or look at their own culpability."

Words fail me.

The same people that wrote the bible I believe wrote Grimms Fairy tales.

This is all hearsay, so I don't want to dump on him. If he denies the holocaust, then, good grief, is this part of his popularity now?

They're all joined up and spewing love in all quarters. It was really an eye-opener that the ADL didn't want Jews depicted as Christ-killers, and didn't want them shown to be beating Christ, and jeering at Him.

I guess they dispute the Biblical account of the story. This surprised me

Well, there have been already some bible textes before the Grimm brothers started there work ...

Well, I promised myself I wouldn't get upset again, so I'm just re-printing my friend's initial post and adding that I always wondered why Mel Gibson never did anything for me and now I know: I saw through whatever supposed 'shell' he has, found a lack of heart and it sent me running. Trust my gut, I always say...and I am usually correct. Now, Craven, please shut the site down so people won't flame me about this sickening man and movie. It's such a small thing to ask...

Not a good idea to D/C this thread. Let everyone air their feelings and as importantly, let all the misinformation come out as to what happened to Christ and who was the cause .

The Christian right has nothing to do with it. Gibson belongs to a segment of Catholicism that is stuck in the past and is at odds in some areas of worship and belief of the RC Church.

Airing our feelings will in no way prove or disprove the biblical myths. Only a time machine will. If only H.G. Wells were still around.

Don't let this crap get under your skin. Every time you do it's a win for their side.

However, you will never know the truth. If there even is a truth.
