A HUSBAND almost throttled his wife during a heated theological argument triggered by a controversial Mel Gibson film, a court heard.
Michael Watson loosened his grip on the throat of his wife, Patricia, only when she appealed to his faith by gasping: “Do not touch God’s anointed.”
The court was told that the couple, both devout Christians, celebrated his birthday with dinner and a bottle of wine before sitting down to watch The Passion of the Christ.
Mrs Watson left the room, and her 44-year-old husband became so upset by the graphic depiction of the Crucifixion that he pulled the leads out of the television and went upstairs.
His wife then decided to watch the God Channel and went to ask him why the television was not working.
The couple separated after the attack but are now attempting a reconciliation.
Speaking after the hearing, Mrs Watson said that she had planned “a lovely evening” for her husband’s birthday. “I had bought The Passion of the Christ on DVD that day and we started watching it.” She said that she became upset and left the room before her husband.
“After a while Michael got upset because of the way Jesus’s Crucifixion was portrayed. He pulled the leads from the back of the television in anger and went upstairs.
“Later, I wanted to watch the God Channel but the TV would not work. I went upstairs to ask Michael why it wasn’t working and we argued about it.
“The Devil was in the house that night. I had to remind Michael that I am one of God’s annointed people. It was the devil that made him do that.”
