Hello people.
Well I've got to break the silence sometime haven't I?
I thought I would wait until William Shatner broke the silence but it looks like he isn't going to show.
I decided to write some thoughts and opinions today. I received an e-mail just now that bothered me. So I thought I would write about it in here. This is pretty much what the e-mail says:

Hi Friends,
At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I'm forwarding this to all I know. A disgusting film set to appear in America later this year depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals!
As a play, this has already been in theaters for a while. It's called "Corpus Christi" which means "Christ's Body." It's a revolting mockery of our Lord. But we can make a difference.
That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. Will you please add your name to the bottom of the list at the end of this e-mail? If you do, we will be able to prevent this film from showing in America. After all, the entertainment industry is under fire in our country right now anyway. Apparently, some regions in Europe have already banned the film. All we need is a lot of signatures!
Remember, Jesus said "Deny me on earth and I'll deny you before my Father."

Incase any people see my journal entry that have signed this e-mail petition, please don't shoot burning arrows onto my roof at night.
I would just like to express my opinion.
First off I wonder how many people who signed this petition actually bothered to research this film.
If you did research, had you already formed your judgement before your research.
Did you use your research just to fuel your fire of indignation?
I for one will withhold any final judgement until after I see the film, if I see it.
However, I will write about what I found out doing a little research after reading the e-mail. I believe the writer himself would call himself a Christian. From what I gather, the film/play tells the story of Jesus if it were set in modern times. Incase any of you aren't familiar with the story of Jesus, I will give you the brief run down.
Jesus coming in the bible had been prophesied many times earlier. So the people during that time had expectations of what Jesus (who claimed to be God in human form) should be like. When he arrived he was nothing like what they expected. He hung out with whores, challenged their beliefs and basically pissed everyone off. In the end everyone became so infuriated that this little shit claimed to be God that they crucified him. Jesus message? Just to love everyone. So the Gist of this play seems to be, if Jesus came today, what kind of person would he be to make all the Christians hate him so much that they would kill him?
......well...gay of course.
And the message of the play?
If you are a Christian and you claim to follow the teachings of Jesus, are you loving, or are you judging and hating?
I was raised in a church going family. I liked church when I was young. It was a good place to be. Much to the chagrin of many family members I am sure, I decided to examine, test and challenge the beliefs I was raised with. I am sure this will be a lifelong process. I am glad I try to be open-minded, I am glad I question things, I am glad I live in a free country.
Remember folks.
Joe Smith getting to say that Jesus is a fag also means that you get to worship your God of choice on your day of choice. Something to be thankful for eh?
That's all for now folks. Later.
PS Corpus Christi is actually the name of a city in Texas. The main character is a kid from Texas.
