Anti-Climacus

QUOTE: this is reasonably amusing:

"The last time large-scale religious warfare broke out in the West, it took hordes of marauding Swedes to even the odds. Unlike the Thirty Years War, however, the battle over Mel Gibson's new movie, The Passion of the Christ, has involved only verbal slings and arrows (and, to date, no marauding Swedes). But there is one important similarity between the two events. As every high school student knows, it can be difficult to remember who fought in the Thirty Years War, which side they were on, and why they were fighting. Likewise, the cast of characters debating Gibson's movie--which opens nationwide on Wednesday--can also be hard to keep straight. "
