The Passion and the Stateboro Blues

We have about 50 reviews and stories now on Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. Just when it seems like it's going away as a major story, something like this happens:

    A couple who got into a dispute over a theological point after watching "The Passion of the Christ" were arrested after the argument turned violent.

    The two left the movie theater debating whether God the Father in the Holy Trinity was human or symbolic, and the argument heated up when they got home, Melissa Davidson said.

    "It was the dumbest thing we've ever done," she said.

    Davidson, 34, and her husband, Sean Davidson, 33, were charged with simple battery on March 11 after the two called police on each other. They were released on $1,000 bail.

    According to a police report, Melissa Davidson suffered injuries on her arm and face, while her husband had a scissors stab wound on his hand and his shirt was ripped off. He also allegedly punched a hole in a wall. [AP]

Maybe they were just trying to reenact scenes from the movie.

Violence begets violence - so it is written.
