I also believe that a common practice of putting a criminal to death was a public stoning.

Listen, I fear that all people are doing is getting riled up over nothing. The PUBLIC condemned Christ, according to the bible, and the PUBLIC happened to be jewish as there were only 12 Christians in the whole world at that time.

My feeling is that if you are going to get upset over this
movie, and the movie follows the Bible, then you should also get upset over the Bible. Its far easier to condemn a movie rather than a book of faith, now isn't it?
