"This life's dim windows of the soul
Distorts the heavens from pole to pole
And leads you to believe a lie
When you see with, not through, the eye."
-William Blake, The Everlasting Gospel
today me d and robbie saw THE PASSIONS OF CHRIST. holy shit. it was amazing. i have never really thought about how this man was completly fuckin tortured. i mean...there are just no words. we came out of that theater and we could barely speak.
i cried at some of the movie too. it was so heartbreaking at times. and what i think mel gibson did the best with, was how he made jesus a man. jesus was afraid, jesus had his doubts. you know you read shit and its like jesus did all this with no problem. not the case.
the movie left me feeling that all can be good if they want to be. that all can rise up and stand up for the people who have no choice but to be prostitutes or whatever. it taught me that jesus was human. will i go to church now? prolly not. will i start to pray and think about confession? no. but will i thank god for more things now that go right and wrong in my life? yes. will i look to the sky sometimes at night and think about god and feel good about it? yes.
i am glad i really dont have a set religion. i am glad that i really have my own perspective. i think that god and jesus and everything could be there. maybe they are not. but whatever is is in everything. that we dont need a building with golden bibles and statues to love and pray to god.
i thank mel gibson for this movie.
after the movie we went to felix and just talked about the movie and how we feel now. anastasia joined us a little later and we decided to put the jesus convo on hold
after taht we went to game. deb was very nice and got us all a piece of coca cola cake from the cracker barrel.
