[QUOTE="Fantine, post: 72488629, member: 114159"] I remember the brouhaha of "The Last Temptation of Christ" by Kazantzakis. I never saw the whole movie, but I did tune in once for the last half hour. As Jesus hung on the cross (as depicted in the book) images of what his life would have been like had he married Mary Magdalene flashed before his eyes. Satan said he could get off the cross and have his dream life....he struggled....he struggled....he struggled....and said, "It is finished" and gave up his spirit. I didn't find anything wrong with that. Jesus had a last temptation. He resisted. What was the censors' problem? [/QUOTE]
