"On Saturday afternoon, the Seminar will discuss three papers submitted by filmmaker Paul Verhoeven, director of “Robocop” and “Total Recall,” on the stories of the Leper (Mark 1:40-45), the Samaritan (Luke 10:30-35, and the Eucharist (Mark 14:25)."
And such classics as "Showgirls," "Hot Sweat," and "Starship Troopers." The man is a Dutch soft-core pornographer whom Hollywood thought might help them break down the opposition to showing NC-17 rated movies in "community" cinemas, such as in malls, etc. by creating an action-movie following and then creating high-budget porn.
"He (one of the speakers) will ask what the options are for Christianity when God becomes a problem."
I believe the only option in that case is repentance. Not something I would expect the folks of the Jesus Seminar to be very keen on.

Nothing like starting off with an open mind.
