Typecasting - Jeez!

[COBOL2Java]

My own preference is the depiction in "The Passion of The Christ"

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I've watched two episodes of The Bible on History channel. I won't watch anymore. It stinks.

It's like watching a baseball game on ESPN's Sports Center....Home runs and stolen bases. Just the highlights. No context. Utter waste of time. The book was much better.

Now, The Vikings is a much better series so far.

[GraceG]

Maybe the left is using this as an excuse to pressure the History channel to stop airing the rest of the series on their network....

[xzins]

I watched it.

There was absolutely nothing in the appearance of that actor that made me think Obama.

This is BS.

[Patriot Babe]

O wow yes. When I saw that scene I’m like WTF. For a moment I thought I was watching Enter The Dragon with Bruce Lee =)

[FourtySeven]

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that the same actor was used in the Garden scene, but didn’t make any waves then. Only now for some reason is the resemblance being noticed.

I think it was on TMZ.

And Satan said unto Zero, Barack My son, let us examine your life in terms of the seven deadly sins.

Pride you have perfected. Your condescension is a model to My servants everywhere.

Greed and envy are the basis of the economic planks of your party's platform and your campaign.

Lust is the basis for the social values planks of your party's platform and your campaign.

You stir up wrath between the races, and it can be put into effect efficiently today using flash mob apps.

You criticize gluttony. A useful fakeout, with the hope of substituting pride for gluttony.

Your shortcoming is sloth. It may be a deadly sin but My servants are expected to be diligent in the pursuit of My kingdom. You spend time on the golf course that could be used to further My kingdom and the rule of My servant Mohammed. You are mocked on the internet by people who say that you don't have the work ethic to be the Antichrist.

[xzins]

I’ve watched all 3 episodes and I think they’ve done a decent job.

I’ve had the bible stories that very few read or see get broadcast to millions:

Abraham
moses
David
Nebuchadnezzar
Daniel
Cyrus
Herod
John the Baptist
Antipas
Pilate
Mary & Joseph

Anyone who attempts to put the major stories in the bible inside of 10 hours has their work cut out for them.

I’m very, very pleased that these are being aired.

I’m betting that 70% of America doesn’t know of Cyrus and can’t remember that they ever heard of him.

[patriotsblood]

I will agree with that. He is the anti-christ though.

Nah. The anti-Christ won't need a teleprompter.

[FourtySeven]

The TV devil appeared in the Garden of Eden scene awhile back and no one said anything.

[Squidpup]

So far I agree - well done. However, I would have traded the story of Joseph for the depiction of Sampson.

[Hildy]

My first instinct is the Left has gone out of there mind. What a racist comment..THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE, right? Well.. I showed the Satan picture to my husband, who knew nothing about the controversy and asked him who he thought it was. Without missing a beat he said, Barack Obama!!! So..the verdict is in!

[TheDon]

To some people all blacks look alike...

[ThePatriotsFlag]

If they wanted him to resemble Barry the Sequesterer, they would have dressed him in golf shoes, shorts, a golfing shirt and hat and he would have been carrying a golf club. These allegations are ridiculous.

---

They followed the old script tempting Christ with bread and water... Should have tempted him with a million dollar golf game with Tiger...that is the kind of "modernization" the lib Catholics are asking for these days. The secular low info voters would really have felt Christ's peril!

But in all seriousness, what a great mini-series, hat tip to those with the courage to produce this...waiting for the next episode.

[MrB]

The actor isn’t black, as far as I can tell...

[Sirius Lee]

The actor isn’t black, as far as I can tell...

Neither is the muslim in chief.

[unixfox]

Obama has always loved Hollywood and has wanted to be a movie star so what’s the big deal?

[MarineBrat]

Is it any wonder that Dick Cheney looked like Father Merrin from The Exorcist?

[beelzepug]

How did you get hold of Bob Beckel’s baby picture?
