- WeeBeautifulPict, of tartantheology fame, shifts his blog location and offers free downloads of DJ Haggis's tartan beats on his wee pict player.

Can you help me understand what's going on with "The End of the Spear" comments? Who's he talking about and why shouldn't he have played in the movie? Thanks.

There are also some interesting comments, on the same post-breakfast session PBS covered, at the CCM blog:

Um, yeah I had no idea why everyone was upset either, but I guess the guy they got to play the lead role is gay man who is apparently quite an activist as well. I guess people are pretty upset that no one is making anything out of it...

My mother in law told me that last night. She said that evangelical Christians are telling eachother to boycott the film. You know, that's crazy. A movie is a movie and an actor is exactly that-an actor. It all comes back around the the vocality of our sins. If the sin is one of the socially unacceptable ones, we have to boycott whatever it is that is being promoted. For all anyone knows, Jim Caveiezel could have been the most porn hungry man. But because his sins (and we all know he has them...just like the rest of us) weren't as visible as this guys, many wings of the Church pushed The Passion hardcore. A story is a story. I for one can't wait to hear it.
ps...this helps us understand mclaren's stand on homosexuality a little bit more, doesn't it?
