Passions of Christ

Yes it is a post that has nothing to do with being pregnant. 

My lovely mother in law(cough, cough, gag, gag)  took Joseph and I to see the movie, along with his pathetic excuse for an aunt (maybe one day I’ll tell you why I wish to see her strung up by a rope in my front yard, but I’m in a good mood right now).  It was actullay excellent.  Well made, great acting, and far more violent than I had thought possible.  I’m under no delusions that the way Jesus was treated was humane or anything remotely close, but I not being raised a church goer, couldn’t quite grasp the concept of it all.  That was until we saw that movie.  I still somehow get the impression that even Mel Gibson’s depiction couldn’t do justice to the true horrors.  Anyway, I am utterly naive towards all things religious, so y’all bear with me.  When I thought of someoen being whipped i didn’t know they meant being caned.  The flimsy little sticks were punishing enough, but then it goes farther.  I have only read bits and pieces of the bible, so I didn’t know, he was baet to near death.  Have you ever notice that when you see a cross, His skin is dirty and smeared with a bit of blood, but not covered in gouges and rips and tears?  Those little things people wear around their neck, in no way portray what it really was.  Opps, rambling, back to my true point.  I also thought that when someone was beat with like a cat o’ nine tailes, it was like in an S&M’s wet dream, you know just made of leather.  That thing they showed had barbs and took chunks out.  It was more like for cutting down overgrow weeds or something.  I just really don’t understand.  I think that maybe the whole thing has been kind of sugarcoated.  Like I said, I am naive to religion.

On moving on.  I was shocked by some people in the theater.  They had these kids in there that were like 7, 8, 9, and 10 years old.  I would die before I took my child to see that.  Yes it is historical, yes it is from the gosphel, but that is by far the most gory violent thing I have ever seen in my life.  It shook me to the core.  What the fuck are people thinking to introduse their childeren to that?  I can’t imagine.  I wouldn’t let my child in under the age of like 14.  I was digusted by these people.  The sack of shit aunt, said that her 5-year old could understand it, I wanted to explain to her, her little fucking retarded ass bastard child can barely understand to sit still for two fucking minutes without crying for his mommy’s tit, let alone watch a movie that is damn near rated NC-17.  But I held my tounge, because when I finally go off on her sorry worthless child molesting bitch ass, I don’t want anyone to blame it on pregnancy hormones.  i want them to know its real.  

I love venting.  Tahts about all i’ve got to say for this second.  Y’all take care.
