Cast and crew of "Passion of Christ" repeatedly struck by lightning

Yeah really.

We all love the God who controls lighting and even though he had a wife had several (many) illegitimate children!

:p

I like Gibson... but IMHO I think this is god saying
'Your getting the message wrong'

Possibly about implication with jews... maybe other stuff.

Of course! People never get struck by lightening for *naturally occurring* reasons, like being in a thunderstorm!

Or being near or holding metal objects, like film equipment or umbrellas during said thunderstorm...

Just read the book of Revelation...it's all in there. I am taking a class on the Apocalypse and just finished a 8 page paper on why the Catholic church is the beast and the pope is the antichrist so right now I am able to just spit out line after line from Revelation and Daniel.

I hope the paper is a exercise in comedy, not an indictment of the Catholic church and the Pope. Or is this university the Protestant fundamentalist equivalent (Bob Jones U., maybe?) of the bin Laden's muslim madrases? Not a big fan of this Pope, but calling him the anti-christ is a little overboard, don't you think?

Someone told me once that the odds of winning the lottery are about equal to being struck by lightning twice.

If that's the case, they should go buy a lottery ticket, they are due to win.

Yeah, but if God's repeatedly striking them with lightning, I doubt He's going to let them win the lottery.

Tell that to Dante.
 
Don't worry, it's not serious. The assignment was to write a paper using First Century Christian Apocalyptic literature applied to a modern theme. It's purely just a "fun" paper that I wrote, nothing that I was serious about. Hell, we have done projects proving that our teacher is the antichrist, even, and he loves it. I was also thinking of "proving" that Bush was the antichrist, too, but I am just tired of politics right now and figured to do something different.

By the way, I just downloaded the trailer for the movie today, and wow, it looks like it's going to be really intense. I have never seen a movie on Christ that was so graphically intense before and it shocked me to say the least. I can't wait to see it, I just wish I could see it with my dad (he's a minister, so it'd be cool to see his reaction to it), but alas, college keeps me here.

Could be Athena, I understand she knows where are the keys to the vault where the lightning bolts are stored. Old Zeus was a randy old SOB wasn't he? Of course, with the location being in Italy we should be talking about Jove or Jupiter shouldn't we? :p

Rower and Phil, you two are just trying to take all the fun away from enjoying the trials and tribulations of Gibson's pompous film making. :D

Any teacher who likes papers showing that he is the anti-christ has got to be all right in my book. I had to read the Book of Revelation for a class recently and was amazed at the symbolism. It has been a long time between this last reading and the steam-winding sermons of my childhood. I could swear that some of it sounds like John is under the influence of some powerful psychedelics.

Heathen! Thou hast sinned before the altar of MacRumors!

I cast thee out, vile demon! Get thee gone from my sight and the sight of our lord and saviour! A pox upon you, as you have been a pox upon our fair message boards!

[gasps,
shivers,
whimpers,
notices pox on arms,
on face,
on legs,
casts himself to the ground,
prays for mercy to God,
faints]
