As soon as you get serious about life, someone or something will parody you or your view, it's nature's balancing thing. alls you need is a sense of humour, grace and forgiveness for all the urine you have extracted at other peoples expense :o)

After the way various Jewish groups fought to keep Mel Gibson's movie, The Passion, out of the theaters in the U. S. A., I think Mel has every right to be just a little ticked off. After all, Judaism is opposed to Christianity, although Jesus said that he was not come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it. He was rejected by the Jewish establishment because he didn't appear as a warrior. Well, we have seen what 60 years of WAR have gotten for Israel. Nothing. Cohen is after all--Jewish, so his remarks are to be expected. His movie sounds like shallow comedy.
As for Mel--I hope he can get a handle on his drinking. I'll continue to go to his movies if they are good.

  "After all, Judaism is opposed to Christianity,"
  Which came first, and the practitioners of which faith butchered those of the other?
  "although Jesus said that he was not come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it. He was rejected by the Jewish establishment because he didn't appear as a warrior."
  Perhaps he was rejected because he wasn't the messiah.
  " Well, we have seen what 60 years of WAR have gotten for Israel. "
  Yes, and we've also seen what thousands of years of CHRISTIAN domination of Europe, culminating in the Holocaust, has done for the Jews.

Sacha's sense of humor is an acquired taste. I've seen Borat twice now and I've been a huge Cohen fan since the early days of Ali G.
Set aside the sensitivities for a couple hours and have a laugh.
