29. With all due respect, there are good reasons to think Jesus is pure myth.
One of the most harmful aspects of this movie and all Christian apologetics for the "historicity" of the Passion is that it accepts uncritically the notion that the Gospels reflect accurate history. There is no good reason to believe they do. Intelligent Christians should look a bit more closely at this question. They might save themselves from buying a fundamentally anti-Semitic myth. (There may be positive aspects to Christianity, but its legacy of anti-Semitism is far from being one of them.)
