Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Dolemite_the_Wiz writes "The BBC reports that Monty Python's 'Life of Brian' will be re-released, with the remaining Python troupe's full support, in US theaters next month. The Film's Distributor, Rainbow Film Company are marketing the film as an alternative to all the hype that Mel Gibson's film 'The Passion of the Christ' has generated. Trailers for the Film will begin running in theaters on Good Friday. Wait until Biggus Dickus hears about this!"

    I'd say The Daily Show and South Park provide some of the best satire in the US right now. The ad's for next weeks South Park seem to suggest they are going to have some fun with "The Passion".

    I got $5 that either

    1. Bush declares Monty Python allies to Al Qaeda
    2. The FCC declares the Python folks "indecent" whenever they make any appearances

    The fact that they retain their Christianity is proof they didn't really reason throught it, as far as I'm concerned.

    Don't label something "offtopic" unless you know the topic well enough to tell what's on topic.

    And all of it was invented by Paul and the Roman Church years later and has nothing to do with what Jesus actually taught as far as biblical scholarship and archaeology can determine, IIRC.

    And Paul was a Roman double-agent recruited by the Jewish priests to infiltrate Jesus' movement. He was denounced by Jesus' brother, assaulted by an angry mob of Jesus' supporters, "checked in to protective custody" of the Romans, who were then tipped off that 40 of Jesus' followers were not going to eat, drink or sleep until they had killed him, and who then escorted him out of town back to Rome where he set up the Roman Church and proceeded to persecute the Jews in the name of their own prophet for the next two thousand years.

    And here comes Mel "Conspiracy Theory" Gibson with an anti-Semitic radical Catholic father to continue the process.

    It would be a fucking joke if the Catholic Church (and its various Christian schisms) hadn't killed so many people over the ensuing centuries - and are still trying to do so under Bush's leadership.
