Religion Class

Interesting note. Today, in my Life and Teachings of Jesus class our professor showed a video about what if Hollywood made the story of Jesus into a movie. Here is the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKJonM0fM54. Some of the people in the class really thought it was funny and enjoyed the comedy, others thought it was over the top and sacrilegious. I'm not sure what I think about it. At points it seems funny, but at other points it seems like it's making light of the impressiveness of Jesus' story. Sacrilegious means to grossly make irreverent something that is held sacred:http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sacrilegious I hold the story of Jesus to be sacred. So when this video makes fun of His birth and death for the sins of mankind, then I see it as sacrilegious. Just my opinion.
