The reason I was angry : Somewhat on thread topic, perhaps, I was angry because God had to put on a human sacrifice -- like that depicted in the movie -- to forgive us. Couldn't God come up with some other way? a loving way perchance, hopefully? Killing a son is not a loving act, and is, was, against the law ... and God did it, even knowingly against His own law.

The 'very human sacrifice' of his Son, on the altar of the cross, was beastly, and forbidden in the law of Moses ; God forbade human sacrifice in the OT -- example Isaac. Is the 'human' -- maybe -- we've determined out here so far, divine? maybe, maybe not -- the human sacrifice of his son wasn't right, and not living up to godly or OT scripture standards.

That's why Gibson's movie made me angry ; it depicted an image of God that I don't agree with.

So ... You have trouble with a movie about the cross and passion of Christ. You have trouble with Jesus dying as the Lamb of God for our sins. You have problems with a righteous God who supposedly "killed" His own Son. And you think that God broke His own Law in all these matters.
