It was posted by Dialup Llama in a thread earlier this week, and he/she did a good job of nailing down the hypocrisy. Here is his quote:
They loved Jesus when he was a clown (Godspell). They went crazy over Him as rock star (Jesus Christ Superstar). When Jesus was portrayed as having an affair with Mary Magdelene (Last Temptation) or as a homosexual (Corpus Christie), the liberal theologians did not object, but took it as an opportunity to explore the misnamed 'historical Jesus.' They cannot stand Jesus as savior. The crucified person is too much for them. They would much prefer the affable teller of parables.
Excellent Dialup Lama post. Thanks for adding it to the thread. The insights
expressed by Dialup are revelatory. BTW, I also have a Dialup Llama fave:
DIALUPLlAMA POST (I see that MSNBC continues their downward spiral. they have returned to attacking Mel Gibson's father.) I expect this. The elites can tolerate a Jesus movie if its made in a stilted religious mode. They are OK with movies that take the Gospel as a script. (The Gospels are not a movie script and and using them as a script makes the film take on a stiff quality, almost as if one is making a silent movie with narration going on in the background.) But they cannot stand a movie that clearly portrays Jesus as savior if it has a compelling artistic vision, a good script and has any chance of becoming a cultural phenomena.
