to a thread that calls for the banning of his film? I agree there is a lot of turmoil about it, but I missed the one that called for it to be banned.

Its called the Passion. It insites Passion in people. There are things called Crimes of Passion. People commit them when they are overwrought by strong emotions. The Passion story has a historical record of insiting people to excesses of Passion so much so that they killed other people. Mel's movie is deliberately focused on the violence imagined to be visited upon Jesus. It may well insite more Passion than any version that came before.

Intense emotions
Uncertain interpretation
Historical precidence
Excessive violence
Passion

You tell me if a film about Christ can be dangerous.
