o my gosh

i was hoping HOPING this would not come up

i feel like cowering in the corner and banging my head against the wall...

seriously. i've kinda stayed away from the hype, rabid furor an d strange
feelings of disassociation from my own 'religion' (but not faith)

having said that, i probly will see it.

having said *that* - it might be a good story. but it might not
necessarily be a good film (can i divide between the truth of the story
that i feel it is and the film that represents it?)

and having said *that*, i only would ask a christian do you worship a
dying Christ or a risen one?

i dunno

i was hoping blindly, like an ostrich , to avoid all mention of it.

alas, the sand i buried my head in has become a sandbag against a flood

feeling verbosely ornery
