Gee no subliminal message : The Tv show the bible

[Ichingcarpenter]

Guess who the devil looks like?
I need to say that Focus on Family, Rick Warren and others are advisors to the show.










The devil is of course, dark skinned

The story is also on MSNBC if you don't like the daily mail.

1. Wow. Looks like an artist's rendering of an "aged 20 years Barack Obama".

They probably use the excuse that he looks that way because the story is set in the Middle East, but can't explain why their image of Jesus is the classic blond-haired/blue-eyed Ted Nugent wannabe.

2. Have they done the Jesus bit yet?

I don't follow the show but others do on DU.

3. I haven't seen any of the show, but that's just my own guess regarding

how they'll choose to portray him.

4. In "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" the devil was an old, white business-man with a top hat.

But you can't do that. That would be offensive.

8. In Bedazzled (2000)

it was Elizabeth Hurley. Kinda fitting if you consider how many youngsters have 'sinned' to her photos.

11. Oh God You Devil, too

George Burns was both the Devil and God. I always thought that was funny!! Not that movie, though

5. Glenn Beck is relentlessly flogging this dreck.

There are some interesting reviews of the program:

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times, March 1, 2013,"God's Word, the Greatly Abridged Edition".

Allison Keene, The Hollywood Reporter, March 2, 2013, "Mark Burnett's History miniseries uses ninja-skilled angels and a hunky Jesus to tell the Good Book's Greatest Hit".

7. hunky Jesus ?

I wonder if his apostles are Hunky too?
Some how I'm getting a picture of the village people around 34 AD.

6. Just saw this in The Independent, too - Yeesh

What the devil? Obama look-alike cast as Satan in American TV show The Bible

Brought to you by the creator of The Voice, Survivor, and Celebrity Apprentice.

[Life Long Dem]

9. Actually

In the side by side photos, he looks nothing like Obama.

[Ikonoklast]

10. Just shows how desperate the religiously insane are.

If anyone here thinks that the Taliban or Iranian cletrics are bad, just wait until the Christian Fundies get control of this government; we've only seen a littl taste of what they have in store for the rest of us.

Don't think they won't kill you because you believe differently, Fundamentalists the world over are all exactly the same.

12. Producer of History Channel's Obama-Satan show also produced Sarah Palin and Donald Trump

13. So, wait...the devil is dark-skinned, but jesus is anglo-american, yes?

I'm asking because i won't watch a minute of that "drama" and don't know the answer....I am sure that the History Channel will be airing "The Koran" next month though, right?

Right?
