I didn’t think the article was unflattering to Weitz, quite the contrary, but I can see how he must feel very protective over something which he has clearly poured a lot of himself into. He has a devotion and commitment to this film which is very reassuring.

My initial response to your comment was a little too hot blooded and thank you for being big enough not to react in kind. I grant you that the Bible is a repository of very practical wisdom when it comes to human relationships (i’m thinking of the book of proverbs) and Jesus himself is both a mysterious and uncomprimising figure (when he conjures the storm after taking his disciples out to fish on the sea and transforms himself into a terrifying aspect), but how can we know what was the original teaching of christianity when the bible has been so extensively re-witten to suit the agenda of the patriachal pollitical elite that use it? And I disagree that being moral in ones behavior isn’t helping fighting the good fight. It would take more time than I have on theis message board to fully understand where you are coming from with your beliefs Ian but I appreciate your cool headedness, Having seen organised religion at work in Russia and Latin America I get quite irate about this subject, hence my reactionary comments.

P.S. Jesus did not fight against injustice, but just taught us morals that every good person in this world follow today, no matter what religion they are in. As for your belief of from where these morals were thoroughly taught or if Jesus was real, is entirely your decision and I am not against whatever you believe in.
