i know that British priests felt threatened by Life of Brian, but i don't think they should've been so worried. i think it's a funny movie that does not tarnish the legacy of Jesus. i think you can laugh at that movie without having your whole belief system falling down. i'm not a Christian, but i think if God is truth, one can take a statement that contradicts it, and may even be amused at it. if one can't take that, how strong is your god, really?
