I am a Catholic. I am a graduate of a Catholic High School. I still go to Mass and confesion, just not as often as I used to. ( My confession was.. difficult, and sometimes the results were hysterically funny)
Those of you who read what I write might be shocked to learn that I am Catholic.
So...
I am scared of what is happening in the world around me. (read my rant in Janet Jackson-exhibitionist?)
Right now religious hatred against EVERYONE is climbing. "God hates sodomites" is a sign seen at a courthouse that was issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
"The Word of God" is often used as a reason to assault Lesbians, gays and Bisexuals.
By the way, am I a sodomite because I have physical relationships with other women? Hmmmmmmm.
Overseas, there is little or no distinction made in many societies between Jews and the government of Israel.
If you hate Israel, you burn down the local synogogue.
I remember vividly in High School learning that Passion Plays often incited violence against Jews.
I love Mel Gobson's movies, and frankly have lusted after him since I was a teen.
But he is naive if he thinks this movie will not be used as another excuse to harm people somewhere.
Sadly
