""Will The Passion itself play a major role in spreading this conception of man's nature? Of course not. But the audiences and acclaim the film is enjoying speak to just how prevalent this conception has already become. If there is an idea behind the film worth opposing, it is this, its intended message. Teach man to regard himself as a loathsome, despicable being, and he becomes ripe for any mystical dictator, who will wield the whip that is supposed to make man atone for his 'transgressions.' Deprive man of self-esteem, teach him to spit in his face, and one paves the way for another Dark Ages." -- Onkar Ghate, Ph.D., resident fellow at the Ayn Rand Institute."
Thanks for the best quote I've yet to see on The Passion
