You are probably one of the people who picketed movie theaters that were showing Monty Python's "Life of Brian" in 1979, without having a CLUE that Jesus (whose Sermon on the Mount opens the film) is the ONLY FIGURE IN THE ENTIRE FILM WHO IS SHOWN REVERENTIALLY.

Brian (of course) is mistaken for the Messiah by a few nutcases (due to the fact he was born a few doors down from Jesus), and the resulting slapstick (which is really modern-day satire using Biblical times as the setting) is unquestionably the funniest 'religious' story ever put on film. But only someone who had never seen the film would think that it was anti-Christian.

I HIGHLY recommend that you give it a viewing - if you have not seen it already. (Oh, and there is FAR less "language", so your precious ears won't burn up too much.....)

Of course it's not anti-Christian. Brian's not the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy.
