The Stoning of Human Beings

[NotforSale]

I watched one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen last night. It was called, "The Stoning of Soraya M."

Some films move me, others leave me thinking. But then there's the film that drives the point so deep, I'm left almost speechless. This film did that.

Based off of a true story, the reality of stoning a human being is brought out, leaving the viewer in tears. I'm not sure I've ever cried so hard watching a movie. Reviews say, be prepared to sob if you go to the Theater to see this.

IMO, this movie had more impact than "The Passion of the Christ". It was absolutely gut wrenching to watch the act of an actual portrayal of humans stoning another human, especially when the victim cried out in innocence.

I walked away from this film, pondering if God was ever even responsible for one act of this kind of brutality. We take the Bible as a fact, promoting these past atrocities of savage cruelty, but I sincerely doubt that God ever wanted mankind to stone one another.

Why do we continue to justify something we would never do or allow today, calling such a judgement "Insane" by our current ideals?
