How about more of a comedy? Say "Jesusshack", or "The Life of Jesus".

If the headline is a shot at "The Passion of the Christ", I like it. That movie was ecumenical torture porn.

What fundies who thought it was going to ignite a new Awakening didn't realize was that that's not the way to get Jesus' message out there. The whole "JESUS SUFFERED AND DIED FOR YOUR SINS!" thing doesn't really work when you don't explain why.

===========================

Because it doesn't make sense! Remember the poster that says this: The universe was created by an all-powerful all-knowing being who came down to us in the form of a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father who can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

It's because christianity is retarded. :)

You're right, there was no context. If you didn't do the "required reading" it's just a guy getting his ass kicked for three hours and people speaking a dead language for no apparent reason.

It's actually a reboot of the New Testament. Here's an exclusive scene from the movie, where we can see Jesus walk on water.

I dunno. I liked funny goofing around Jesus in the Mary flashbacks. Maybe a movie about that, with his friends, oh, and maybe preaching?

So I've been wondering this. Would Jesus have been good in bed? I mean he's the son of God so you have to assume he would be good at everything, but then he's got that whole gentle thing going and let's face it sometimes you gotta rattle things around a little. Not to mention most women I know like something a little deviant and I just don't think that's how J would roll. Thoughts?

I'm betting he was a vanilla, missionary-style loving lump. It takes a little evil to really get things rolling in bed.

As someone who went to Catholic high, but isn't a practicing Cath, all I can say is that I like The Passion.

What I don't get is why it is fair game to bash the hell out of that movie or that religon yet you say a negative word about a jew and they flip out. Respect each other's religons, or lack there of. Do you realize how arrogant and blowhardy it is to go off about someone's beliefs? You assume they haven't thought them out and in doing so you're an asshole.

What really bothered me was all these people nearly foaming at the mouth in extacy about how they love Jesus and seeing how he suffered. In other words, they love him and love watching him be tortured. Why, no there's nothing the least bit psychologically abnormal about that.

I'm trying to decide if "Ecumenical Torture Porn" is a good band name or an album title for Avenged Sevenfold. Either way, it's got potential.

who can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh

Wrong. Maybe the Protestants eat a symbol but the Roman Catholics practice full-on cannibalism. That ain't a cookie and that ain't wine, not after transubstantiation. You're sucking down the body and the blood. The real deal. It's Night of the Living Christ, not some wishy-washy Protty game of let's pretend.

The "miracle" of transubstantiation is the second most farked-up thing in the religion game, outdone only by original sin. It should be a capital offense to tell a child that he or she was born with sin.

Oh man they should do this. Make it perfectly serious, but every so often throw Graham Chapman in the background graffiting walls, or being chased by a worshipful mob.

I'd rather it be more "Jesus Christ Superstar".
 
2009-02-28 09:25:10 PM
I think it could be like Passion of the Christ without that thing that has the big ball with pointy things tied on the sticks? I stopped watching at that part and picked up at almost the end when I said "Suck it, Roman soldiers - this is what you get for killing Jesus".

I'd like to see a scene of Jesus on the cross singing "I'm alright, don't nobody worry 'bout me! Seriously though, don't worry, not only will I be back in a few days but I'm actually God so dying really isn't a big thing. You all have to be eternally grateful for my "sacrifice" though"

if done right, I think it would make a great movie.

unfortunately all the Christians would be in a complete outrage over Joshua being.. my god HUMANIZED, and how DARE they point out all the connections of his teachings with middle eastern, and south Asian philosophies!?

I would love to see a movie made from the book, however, I think if they tried, Pat Robertson would issue a fatwa if they tried

findthefish: it really does not count if you sacrifice yourself...knowing you'll be reborn

To be fair, one of the gospels says that Jesus' last words were, "Father, why have you forsaken me?" This suggests that Jesus' own death was a leap of faith on his part, and that maybe he did not know he would be reborn.

Of course, most Christians ignore the crap out of that, as well as the 33 years of Jesus' LIFE, unless he was doing magic tricks.

So, the life of Jesus is really something like this to most Christians: Miracle birth, magic tricks, eat my body/drink my blood, kiss kiss, crucifixion, dance around/go up to heaven.

Christian dogma is totally screwy.
