Gee no subliminal message : The Tv show the bible

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.

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.

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".

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.

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?
