jesus christ!

i got this email from one of my former classmates. it read:

Dear All, A disgusting film is set to appear in America later this year, which depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in theatres for a while. It's called "Corpus Christi" which means "The Christ 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 all. Will you please add your name to the bottom of the list at the end of thise-mail? If you do, we will be able to prevent this film from showing in the Philippines. 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". Please don't just forward it! Please copy this message "Ctrl C". Paste the text in a new e-mail "Ctrl V", then add your name to the list and send it to all your friends. When the list you sign reaches 500 names, please send it to: homasg@softhome.net

my reply was:

hey hey hey, wait just a darn minute. not so fast. what in the name of jaime cardinal sin is going on here? whatever happened to freedom of expression? artistic license? freedom of religion? the separtion of the church and the state, and all those motherhood statements our very constitution upholds? have you seen the play / movie to be THAT judgemental about it? i mean c'mon, we're all adults here capable of deciding for ourselves what is right and what is wrong, am i correct? if people don't like the movie, then they can just NOT watch it. you don't need to set up a smear campaign. the producers of the movie have every right to show the movie just as you have every right to profess your faith. and you don't have to threaten us with words like: "Remember:Jesus said, "Deny me on earth and I'll deny you before my Father". how can we form a world free of biases and judgements if we brand the film (even without seeing it yet) as disgusting, and worse, because of homosexuality.

this email is insane. and i will not be a part of this.
