Talk:Passion of Jesus

I have removed the following from the article:

Once associated with sin and crime, the concept of passion as wholehearted devotion to an idea or to an ideology has become part of the stock-in-trade of New Agers wishing to gush about their fashionable fads. Business managers, defining a mythical ideal employee, now demand passionate commitment. The emotional intensity-level of teenagers has replaced the detached realism of sober rational adults as a societal aspiration in some such circles.

(Compare fandom in popular culture.)

To me, this looks like yet another anti-new age rant - do New Age-ists really use the word in a way any different to anybody else - combined with a bit of social misanthropy. Charming, but not for the wikipedia, methinks. --Camembert
