And to me it was nothing more than blood pornography. It was gratuitous violence for the sake of inflaming anti-Semitic sentiments. It glorified and glamorized the torture and murder of Jesus Christ.
As a Christian, I know the tenets of my religion are centered on Christ's life and His resurrection, and the redemption of those who persecuted Him. Our church fought against gory violence in the movies and on TV. And we certainly didn't find inspiration in it.
Bob Schaffer, on the other hand, celebrated the movie.
"I saw 'The Passion' ... and it really put me in the right frame of mind for launching a campaign," he told the National Review in 2004. "It taught me that there's no way I can lose."
A snuff film taught Bob there's no way he can lose.
