I Saw The Passion, Now I’m Worried I’m Hellbound
I saw the Passion of the Christ with my sister when it just came out in theatres and I can safely say that it is one of very few movies which has stayed with me so long after I’ve seen it. Personally, I wish I had just stuck to reading the Bible - less graphic. Not saying it was a *bad* movie or anything - just slightly traumatizing.
So, why am I worried about being hellbound (I hear you asking)? Well, the movie stars a gentleman by the name of Jim Caviezel and I had seen him in a few movies prior — although I must admit, I had no idea who he was back then — and had the fleeting thought “hey, he’s mildly sexy…wonder who he is…” and that was that.
But nope, that wasn’t that. He had to go and star as Jesus Christ in the movie that has scarred me for life. Now I’m paranoid that by my thinking the guy who starred as Jesus Christ before I knew he would be starring as Jesus Christ is “mildly sexy”, God has already inked me into the “sorry, you’re screwed” section of the judgement book.
So why is this coming up now? Well, I just realized I was watching a movie with this dude and I immediately thought about the Passion of the Christ and him starring as Jesus Christ and crown of thorn images flipped through my mind and then I realized that once upon a time I thought this guy was “mildly sexy” and that translates into “holy crap, I’m going to hell - I better change the channel now”
Man, why did he have to accept that role? Now I can’t watch any movies with him in it anymore…and that kinda sucks because he happens to be in a few movies I own.
I think I have sleep deprivation issues. I’m going to bed now.

The bible is actually more graphic than The Passion, it’s just different when you see it acted out on someone.

That’s true - but my imagination was *never* as vivid as The Passion.
