Ey Jesus! Ere's sum bling, Axe, 'n' a car stereo.
 

The BBC is to remake the Nativity for "modern" audiences. Now I'm not that religious, but I think this is fuckin' stupid. The story of Jesus Christ being set thousands of years ago worked for the generation I grew up in, why the fuck won't it work this time? I bet the BBC wouldn't dare do this kind of shit to Islam.

Fail thread

Well you bothered to post in it.

well, thats the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Jesus in the modern time? pfft, what next, Santa as a hippy and thin? Jesus is someone who is just someone that TV doesnt need to screw about with (and I am NOT religeous), they should just leave him alone damnit

So, Catherine Tate as Mary, Tom Baker as a Wise Man, and those guys from Little Britain as Jesus and Joseph?

Having read the changes, they are essentially the exact modern equivalents. If there was a second coming, and it was as humble as the first, that is quite close to what it would look like.

You have to wonder, how much temporal leeway would someone have telling this story before it becomes controversial. Still, they also moved it to Liverpool, which is somewhat more peaceful than modern day Bethlehem.

Sometimes things just need a fresh start and the bible was long due for one anyway.

It's fine, it's not attempting to 'enlighten the masses' everyone knows the story everyone likes the story it's just an interesting twist on it.

Despite being raised catholic, this does nothing for me one way or another.

It's probably because I'm an uncultured american.

Jesus should be born in a white ghetto, like Bensonhurst, Pine Bluffs, Venice Beach, or the shittier parts of Salinas and lousy trailer parks.
That would be neat.

I know what you mean. The New Testament is getting pretty old now.

I vote Havoc as author of the Newer Testament!

"All that stuff was crap.

The End.

Also: Tigers.


-Havoc"

Now there's something that should absolutely never happen. I'll do it!

You forgot about the pictures of female humaniod tigers and the fursuits that should be worn every Sunday. :P

My bible would feature a lot of tiger worshiping, stupidity would be rewarded with a shotgun and it would be morally okay to catapult babies against walls.

Dude. my Cthulhu cult beats your religion any day. It comes packed with Swedish Heavy Metal Bands!

Everyone knows the best metal comes from Norway.

Yeah, but Norway is more expensive to post.

Come on.
It's for a cult.

We're not so much a cult as a group of fanatical, blade-wielding zealots.

Technically.
