Couple Arrested After ‘Passion’ Debate
Here’s a great example of when people argue somewhat the same point and still disagree:
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.
Nevermind the movie wasn’t even about God the Father.
The answer of course is that God the Father is both divine and real, so they were both wrong. But the best comment came from the deputy:
“Really, it was kind of a pitiful thing, to go to a movie like that and fight about it. I think they missed the point,” said Gene McDaniel, chief sheriff’s deputy.
