I have a version of MP’s Holy Grail with that stuff cut out. Cut out about 2 minutes of crud. It’s a WAY funnier movie without the leftist blasphemous anti-Christian claptrap.

Like all these clowns, they can get back to me when they also crap on muhammid, THEN I’ll accept it as ‘art’. Until then, it’s spineless anti-Westernism.

Do you have a similar version of Life of Brian with only about two minutes left?

So, when an attempt at humor happens to be based in an erroneous view of God, that constitutes an attack on God?

Surely you can see the difference between real blasphemy a la Martin Scorcese's "Last Temptation..." or the vile image "Piss Christ", and the humor of Monty Python.

Is The Maker of the platypus averse to a good-natured roasting? Think The Almighty's too thin-skinned to take a jovial ribbing now and again? God's big enough not to be small-minded about our human errors, even when we make them at His expense (and we DO make ALL of them at His expense, if you really think about it very deeply).

Python at least gets it right in God's line, "Of COURSE it's a good idea; I thought of it!" even if they do miss the truth at a couple of points.

I don't think YHVH's taking this as hard as you are.

Consider the meaning of I Cor. 5:19, "...that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them."

There, in a single sentence, is the ONLY reason that you, nor I nor anyone else on God's green Earth hasn't been summarily vaporized by the wrath of God upon he commission of our first, and least sin. Because of Christ, and for his sake, God ISN'T holding our sin against us AT THIS MOMENT, because His focus is not condemnation, but reconciliation.

Perhaps you might be gracious enough to afford Monty Python the benefit of God's stated mission.
