I believe in freedom of speech, therefore I condemn the reaction of those Christian fundamentalist who attacked the studio's office.
Obviously, I am not surprise. We want to think that this kind of reaction is proper of other religions, we forget Christianity is based on a holy book that shares many passages with the so-called radical and intolerant religions.
That being said, I find the idea of paroding Christ in that light utterly pointless and of poor taste.
Freedom of speech should be wisely used. It should contribute to shedding light over murky matters or the improvement of human relations. Obviously, there will be times when exposing a truth will cause more turmoil than understanding, for obvious reasons, especially if those truth pertain to religious matters; I don't think a movie about a gay Jesus would be in that category.
They should use their talents and resources more wisely.
