I don't think it really needs to be closed, but I do think everyone needs to consider a wider perspective. Regardless of intentions, making jokes about something like someone's religion or even portraying a religious idea seriously through comic or "cartoony" methods may offend them, which we don't need to have happen. However, a good point is made that crucifixions (probably spelled that wrong, my spelling is innately terrible lately) are naturally gory and the movie did indeed portray it that way.
It's an interesting debate and I don't want to close it, so please just keep things from going too far either way.

tthe turkey has spoken plz follow his orders since its his forum and hes right about it thumb.gif thumb.gif drop the arguement about the pic stop making jokes and get back on topic =D
1. I'm not a turkey.
2. I didn't give anyone any "orders," I asked them to please stop with the bashing of religions and the quarreling.
3. Though this forum was my idea and it was created because of my idea, I don't own it any more than anyone else. The basic idea of what I said is that we're all on an equal level here, I shouldn't have to use moderator powers to settle things. Please, just work this out.

It doesn't matter who he was making fun of, it still insulted the religion. If this doesn't get back on topic, then it will have to be closed. We don't need to fight over the intentions of the image, it was removed and it is settled.
4. Base and I are saying roughly the same thing; we don't want to have to close this topic, but we will if it gets out of hand.
