And yes, you said it didn't bother you, as I myself quoted in my posting, but you added that this was so because "it's a movie, after all", as though you were implying that you find "the idea of a tempted Christ" acceptable only as long as it is an imaginary story presented in movie form, and not a true theological or historical proposition.

Hence my "rant" on the humanization of Christ not diminishing its figure in any way, as many christian believers tend to think and take offence to, but quite the opossite in fact.
"It's a movie, after all," refers to the fact that so many people took offense to this film upon its release, and even now are questioning whether it would be good for them due to their Christian background. I didn't imply anything, I was just making a statement on the merits of what we are discussing: a movie.

I am, however, unsure what you mean by, "and not a true theological or historical proposition." Are you suggesting that this film is a theological proposition (it isn't), or just saying that to enhance your point?

EDIT: I suppose I should add my opinion/beliefs here to clear any confusion up:

The ideas presented in The Last Temptation of Christ are not a theological proposition; they are based on a work of 1950s fiction, not any of the Gospels. However, if these ideas were presented as part of a Gospel in some way, it would not surprise me nor disturb me.

As a Christian, you are taught that our God is a perfect God, and that Christ is the human representation of Him (God on Earth). But, while Christ is fully God, he is also fully Man. He walks the line between God and Christians, bringing Christians to know God. So yes, while he is divine, he also has human characteristics as well. That is what makes him so revered: He was able to resist the temptations of human life.
