This isn't that uncommon when films are shot in very cold and/or rainy conditions and the actor does some of the more physically demanding scenes himself.

That unjust death's a fundamental part of Christianity. Many Christians esteem the movie because the graphic violence heightens the death and resurrection teachings. Don't believe it was god, but it was, it'd be for the film's antisemitism.
I'm an atheist. My father taught me about science and evolution when I was a child, so I became acclimated to the idea of there being no god at an early age. My father was raised Catholic, was an atheist and became a Buddhist in middle-age.

I definitely believe in a superior being with knowledge all-knowing and power above-all. However, this being and everything about it/he/she, is way above and beyond our earthly, human abilities of perception.

I believe in the type of creator that Pharoah Sanders describes in his album Karma. I believe that we are able to perceive beauty in things like music and art, and that has a foundation that current science can not fully explain. And that can be called "god" if you like.

Honestly, it's been pretty hard since Lemmy died. Everything pretty much went to Hell after that.

Seconded.
I'm affiliated with a religion, but overall agree with this idea. Not gonna preach, but I've found one specific teaching that adequately answered all my questions, but were it not for that I'd be agnostic without question.

I just get annoyed when organized-religion types try to co-opt unrelated socio-cultural phenomena for their own purposes. Take punk rock for example — it's clearly not supposed to be a religious "movement" of any kind, and if anything most punks are openly contrarian in their approach to religious beliefs, symbology, and (especially) history. Nevertheless, you get books like Punk Rock Theology, Punk Rock is My Religion, and Punk Science: Inside the Mind of God, the latter of which never even mentions punk rock at all, it just uses the word to sell books! 
Worse still, these same cultural co-opters completely ignore the post-punk genre, as if it doesn't even exist. Where are books like Shoegaze Religion or Dreampop Christianity? Nowhere to be found, even though nobody has ever disproven the simple (and I would say obvious) assertion that Liz Fraser is the Voice of God. (Sure, there's Gothlic: The Testimony of a Catholic Goth, but most of us don't really count goth bands as part of the post-punk scene, I guess because they're all weird or whatever.)
Also, everyone should learn to spell the word "atheist" correctly, as it's just disrespectful to both atheists, theists, and theologians alike to misspell it. And as long as we're posting Amazon links, have you seen Marketing the Messiah? It's a much more scientific and "what we actually know" type of fact-based approach to the historicity question than Strobel's book (or any of Strobel's dozen-or-so "Case For..." books).
