Close to five hundred people have suffered physical, emotional, or spiritual harm during or following performances of "Jesus Christ Superstar"

Ok, but all parody and satire aside, the film brought religion back into my life, eventually leading back to traditional Catholicism of all places.

Yes it is. If Christians behaved like Muslims this would be truth not satire.

Clever.

The end result of the author’s argument, however, is to equate Islam with Christianity - a giant step up for the false religion, and a giant step down for the true one. No matter what you think of them, the Crusades never offered that gracious gift to Islam.

Catholic satire I guess. Makes one wonder though just what position Catholics will take on this. Considering other things they hold, such as a mystic view of creation and the garden of Eden, compromising with paganism, Mariolatry, purgatory, celibate priests and nuns, infant baptism, sprinkling instead of immersion for baptism, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them add Jesus with a girlfriend to the list.

And the “president” excused the rioters, saying that the story caused the riots, the murders, the hangings, the rapes, the flag burning, the cries for blood.

just what position Catholics will take on this

Protestant ignorance on display again.

Pick one of the topics you mention and ask me, I'll tell you.

That’s the brilliance. Sort of like what Orson Welles did over the radio.

Beautiful satire nothin’. This was making fun of the mohamedans and the feds are on their way to arrest someone’s butt.

Why did you not include Eastern Orthodox ignorance? They agree with Protestants on much of the things I mentioned. They, like Protestants, are opposed to RCC purgatory, celibacy, priests and nuns (they have patriarchs), etc.
