No, sorry, but Jediism is an established and legally recognised religion. Questioning this being tagged religion is as reasonable as questioning Passion of the Christ being tagged religion.

I thought they strongly implied Leah was the relative Rey was waiting for on the dump planet, making her a Skywalker.

No Pluto Nash? Don't you know he's THE MAN on the moon?

It's dead but also possibly a dupe of http://videosift.com/video/Louis-C-K-The-Passion-of-the-Christ

this is disgusting.

truly abhorrent. This man needs to be hospitalized.

Or imprisoned.

He should not be walking the streets.

I couldn't even listen to it. I have a pretty strong constitution. And this man makes me ill.




It's clear that making Passion of the Christ has done NOTHING for his spiritual connection.

i think both the reporter and gibson are assholes, that said...

what i find a bit interesting is the possbility that gibson's gaffe, which imho would normally have been long forgotten by the public, has and will continue to be brought up by 'special interests'... namely, any of many nebulous jewish organizations, i.e. anti-defamation league, jewish-controlled media interests, etc... because it highlights and spotlights a well-known example of anti-semitism

i just don't think 'the public' has that much interest in gibson's past to have continued wondering about his jewish sentiments, but jews have certainly had an axe to grind with him, e.g. drunken anti-semitic remarks, 'the passion of the christ', etc

contrast this gibson interview with another interview now on the sift...

http://www.videosift.com/video/Time-s-10-Questions-for-Woody-Allen

Allen, from a jewish background, took nude photos of and had sex with his teenage adopted 'stepdaughter' soon-yi ... certainly excellent fodder for our sensationalist media, but relatively unmentioned and unremembered

Forgive my skepticism. Something doesn't smell right with this story. America is the only country not distributing this? The same country that covets controversy to gain attention and buzz?

So, Hollywood never puts out anything sacreligious to draw the ire of Christians? Religulous was just some kind of fluke?

I agree with Jaace far enough to say that somebody needs to muster some courage here. I am a Christian, and I also adamantly defend freedom of speech. If this is important enough to put out, somebody should step up and do it. If it creates debate, God bless America and our freedom to do so.

Just don't paint this as a one-sided argument. Gibson had to self-finance Passion of the Christ and walked a gauntlet trying to get the movie distributed. There were protests and howls from every possible angle, and the movie was banned in several countries.

We have lost our civility on BOTH sides, gang.

yes. really.
it was fucking bizarre.
and it preyed on a disenfranchised subculture. really i never go the whole punk rock evangelical christian thing. at all. not that youre not entitled to your own personal belief set and spirituality. its the bizare group think evangelical part that doesn seem to mix well. but whatever. i thought it was funny that the sermon was all about zombies basically.

i dont know, i was raised mormon and never saw anything nearly as bizarre there as i have seen in these hip rock band power point churches. like catholics, mormon services are very reverent and ceremonial and traditional. they also dont have like one guy that talks all the time. the congregation all take turns giving talks and running the service. and theres no paid clergy. say what you want about the mormons, their beliefs are full of shit and the dogma has hurt alot of people close to me. but the services are tasteful and frugal at least. and they dont get into the wierd shit until youre a high preist and going to temple. and until the recent funding of anti gay marriage propaganda i had pretty much no problems with how they spent and dealt with tithing.

i also totally thought going to mass with my catholic stepmom was a hoot.

I dont want to sound offensive but...really? I mean, really?

I had a girlfriend who was an evangelical and wanted me to convert, I went to church with her thinking it couldn't be too different from my somewhat traditional catholic upbringing. When services started we watched clips from The Passion of the Christ and then discussed how to get tickets for 5-10 minutes. Then the pastor rode in on a harley and we watched clips from Orange County Choppers. The episode was about the motorcycle guys teaching kids about how to work on motorcycles and the sermon was all about why it is so important to start your kids off learning about jesus early on. Then the full band roared into action (two drum sets, three guitars, several singers and a few horns) followed briefly by collection (I'm assuming to pay for the big screen tvs and projectors in the room, not to mention the band and the Harley) and then a Passion ticket raffle.

We left and my g/f at the time described how great it was that the church could get a message out that people today could relate to. I was going through my head thinking about how much everything must have cost for that one session (poverty, chastity and faith right??) and getting reamed out by her for not waving my arms back and forth in 'praise' when they were singing.

So, not that I dont believe you or anything but, damn, the things some people do.

fyi that whole incident above happened when i was struggling with disbelief I was feeling which only made things weirder.

my exhusband was/is severely mentally ill. when all else failed, one of his doctors recommended going to church. at that point we would have done anything . she recommended a church that catered to punk rockish young adults, which i suppose we were. so..... we went. they were all very nice of course, the church was called "deliverance" and we had to make jokes about how fucking creepy that is. it was in a dead, run down shopping center from the early 80s. it looked like a tattoo studio from the outside, with tattoo'd up skateboarding young punks seemingly loitering outside. at 21 and 29 we were probably the oldest people there.

sooo.... the pastor comes out. the sermon that day is about raising the dead. and how if jesus could do it and he was a man, then we could do it too!!! everyones homework was to heal the sick and raise the dead. FOCUS ALL YOUR ENERGY ON RAISING THE DEAD!!!!!!! then he played a 45 minute long guitar solo which made all the kids raise their arms or rock back and forth on the floor. also everyone HAD to give all their money, if they didnt raise $10,000 that week the church would be shut down, so give all your money then go home and get money from your parents.

soooooo we were of course highly fucking offended by everything that went on there. and besides that, a medical doctor prescribed a church sermon about raising the dead to mental patient with psychotic features. WTF?!?! i wont even get into all the hundreds of ways that could have gone terribly wrong.
luckily my husband hated religion even more than i do and knew damn well that was 100% bullshit and not license to go on a fucking zombie hunt with his machete or something.

something is terribly wrong.

Gabriel is male.

It's a movie its not the Passion of the Christ.
If anything the character of Gabriel comes off as being entirely androgynous which is something I would think they would be being not of man, this works pretty well in the film given how alien Tilda Swinton looks in general.


Faheed nails it... angels aren't human and Tilda just encapsulates the completely alien nature an angel would have in my opinion.
