Anyone harassing you for not watching the Passion of Christ seems absurd to me. I'm an atheist, I watched it by chance in a university class on violence in cinema, and our professor opened the discussion with "So! Wailing on Jesus, the film ..."

A few students were revolted by how gorey it was, a couple thought Gibson did a good job acting (but that it was an incredibly self-indulgent role - martyr fantasy porn writ large), but I don't think we had a single person in there who felt one iota more like a Christian because they watched it. Just passing that along in case it's helpful, nonny.
