More Brief Thoughts on "The Passion" and Evangelicals

Here is a manifestation of one of the concerns I have with how evangelicals are handling this movie that I alluded to in the previous post.

On the sign in front of the Compass, the Christian marketing machine of Waco (a.k.a. christian bookstore,) are these words: "We have kits to help you make "The Passion of the Christ" more meaningful."

I almost vomited on myself.

The gospel, just like good art, stands on it's own. It doesn't need anyone's help in making it more meaningful. If these Christian ignoramuses (sp? is there a correct sp?) would understand how demeaning that statement was they would be shocked.
