Air Force Cadets Scolded Over 'Passion' By ROBERT WELLER

DENVER (AP) - Air Force Academy commanders admonished cadets for using
academy e-mail to tout Mel Gibson's movie about the crucifixion of Jesus.

In an e-mail obtained by The Associated Press, Superintendent Lt. Gen. John
Rosa said the cadets' use of an academy e-mail distribution list to
encourage people to see "The Passion of the Christ" was inappropriate.


Why?

"When you put on your uniform, you do not have to leave your faith or
religious convictions behind," Rosa wrote. "Nonetheless, we all need to be
sensitive and considerate toward those who may not share our beliefs."


The above is a complete contradiction. The pretense of
reasonableness.



He
also admonished cadets for displaying fliers for the movie in the
cafeteria, according to the e-mail sent Wednesday.

At least one academy graduate complained to Rosa that the students' e-mail
was insensitive to cadets who are not Christians, Academy spokesman Johnny
Whitaker said. He added that the action violated rules against product
endorsements.


Cadets who are not christians?

Is he saying Budhists are complaining? I doubt it.



Whitaker said he did not know exactly how many cadets were involved.

The movie, which grossed $23.6 million on its opening day Wednesday, is
based on Gospel accounts of the last hours of the life of Jesus. Some have
praised Gibson's commitment to his subject. Others have called the movie
excessively bloody and unfair in its portrayal of Jews.

What I can't understand is why any modern man or
woman who would believe in the fairy tales found
in the BiBull.


Most of the whiners accusing 'the passion' of being 'anti-semitic' are
using it as an opportunity to be 'anti-christian' or even
'anti-european'
