Hi Ken
i'm with you on the Movie thing Ken. When Someone is Crucified and Nailed to a Cross after having been Flogged and forced to carry a Heavy Wooden Cross to get to that point, i do not feel it necessary for me to see a Graphic 2hr. depiction of it to have a good understanding about what took place.
Common sense would indicate to me it was Brutal & the Man having Enormous Faith & Strength to allow Himself to go through such tribulations to show His Love for Us is self evident to me at least.
Do i need to be moved by a Gross depiction of these events to be a better & more religious and caring person...i think not.
I am a Catholic, who accepted these Teachings as a boy & will remain so for as long as i live. Nuff said.
--------
As to the Hockey Wars ahead, who knows what my beloved Leafs will come up with. Belfour will be back and possibly Roberts, which bode well for the Team and having 24hrs. of reliving the embarrassment of the night before hopefully they will be Charged and Ready at the opening Faceoff.
With luck it should be a Good one.
Enjoy Ken
regards
