Four English churches are offering free cinema tickets to see Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ in an attempt to boost their congregations. According to BBC online, the Church of England parishes, in and around Maidstone, Kent, have booked £20,000 worth of tickets for the film. The film, which opens in the UK this month, depicts the last hours of Christ and has caused uproar in the US amid claims of anti-Semitism. It has raised more than $200m (£108m) at the US box office in two weeks. St Luke's Church in Maidstone, All Saints Church and Loose Baptist Church in the village of Loose, and St Peter's Church in nearby Boughton Monchelsea, have purchased 3,000 cinema tickets at £6.50 each. Friggin' hypocrits. These are probably the same people that condemn violence and gore in film. What the fuck? I guess its ok to show inhuman beatings, so long as your beating the shit out of christ. If it's good enough for the christians, it should be good enough for everyone. The next time I hear some religous asshole whining about any violence...EVER, I'm going to burn his bible.
