Brian isn't Jesus nor is he "Jesus".

>>648653

No, don't you remember the scene just before that one? Where the man in white robes tries to help a convict carry his cross, and the dude just throws it on him and runs away?

>>648658

Jesus wasn't in that scene at all.

We had a thread about this a few weeks ago.

Why such an interest in this movie?

Its a funny movie. Tbh nowadays you can be happy for any non-negative contact people have with christianity.

>>648653

Also the sermon on the mount scene, where they have a scrap up in the back over whose nose is big? It's all the same sordid attempt to laugh at the message of Christ and present mankind and the world as so chaotic, fallen, worthless, barbaric, and ignorant.

>>648664

I don't know, it was just a thought. I suppose it gets a lot of interest because it is the argument of secularism cast onto the cinema. Oddly enough the argument is not from science as we've come to expect (indeed it was never there), instead it is that mankind is so impossibly sordid that no God could love it, and that spiritual people are all fools for even entertaining a contrary notion.

>>648675

If we were made in god's image, then god is just as sordid as us.

>>648675

>where they have a scrap up in the back over whose nose is big

That's a Jew joke, you know. Also, do you think the world was a perfect paradise just because Jesus walked it? We are fallen, sinful, and yes barbaric.

The "joke" in the sermon on the mount scene was that the people in the back couldn't quite hear the message. "Blessed are the cheese makers?"

I think you should learn to lighten up a little and stop looking for devils in the dishwater.

>>648680

Perhaps, maybe I'm just off my head, my thought was that Christ's Resurrection creates an orderly world, one in which there is a definite morality, therefore, the Monty Python crew actually cut to the heart of Christianity, knew they were doing it and did it to vindicate an un-Christian idea.

>>648678

We both know they don't believe that we were created in God's image, but it does explain some sh*t in the Old Testament if you bear that in mind about God.

>>648675

>mankind and the world as so chaotic, fallen, worthless, barbaric, and ignorant

What happy little world are you living on where that's not true?

>Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie,

Monty Python is 2smart4u fedora humour

>lol footballing philosophers! XDDDD

>>648721

I unironically liked Monty Python, but now I see they, along with Douglas Adams books, were precursors to this "lol so randum" cancerous kind of humour.

>>648651

Always loved this scene because of learning Latin in school

>>648651

never lioked that shite

>>648726

1 corintians 5:6-7

>Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

>Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

>>648651

Stop acting like a mudslime, OP.

It was a funny movie.

>monty python

>funny

now that is a joke

>>648922

I've never been able to watch this scene and not crack up laughing.

>>648651

>"Jesus" tries to help a man carry his cross, and the guy foists the cross onto Jesus and runs away

It shocks me how no one corrected you on this. It was Simon of Cyrene who carried the Cross for Christ. The scene is a blasphemous parody of Christ in His suffering for humanity, which I'm sure some people here will defend because they're addicted to entertainment.

>>649116

yeah honestly fuсk this board. just read the replies itt defending blasphemy.

>>649140

Pro tip: Brian != Jesus

>>649141

>dude his name isn't Jesus so it's fine lol

fuсk off retard

>>649141

Brian is unsubtly a depiction of Jesus ban Pandera of the talmud. A false prophet and son of a whore and centurion. They just included a bit of Jesus to give brainlets and excuse to not notice that the whole story is a mockery of Christ and the crucifixion.

>>649144

>>649149

It's a mockery of false prophets in general.

Jesus himself is treated respectfully in the movie, as far as I can remember.

>>649144

No. Brian is literally not Jesus. Brian is even at the sermon on the mount, where Jesus is speaking, so how could Brian be Jesus?

If you haven't actually seen the movie, you shouldn't comment on it.

>>649149

If it makes you feel better, watch it again … but this time think of Brian as Mohammad.

>>648651

It's just a joke though isn't it.

>>649403

>Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving.

>For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

>Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.

(Ephesians 5 4-7)

>>648922

I'm not a big monty python fan but that is pretty funny tbh

>>648651

It's not a great movie, it's a disgusting blasphemy by britbongs who are the Fedora kings

>>648675

I doubt very much that is the message as that is already way too religious a message to begin with.

>>649403

You on judgment day: "It's just prank, God!"

>>649599

Do you presume to believe that the almighty creator of all things doesn't have a sense of humor?

Ehh, the Python Crew has their moments. I like em because me father and I bonded on their comedy.

>embed related

>>648675

>mankind and the world as so chaotic, fallen, worthless, barbaric, and ignorant.

But that's exactly what mankind and the world *are*. It's why we needed Christ's sacrifice in the first place

>>649601

Humor is rooted in irony (dishonesty and Caprice) so no. I'm not a member of the temperance society or anything, don't worry. I think we're allowed to have a sense of humor but there is nothing dignified about it and God certainly does not have one.

>>650249

You can't quote things out of context that are in the very thread you're quoting them in.

>>650255

Wow it must be nice to know God's mind so well

>>650354

No, as an Orthodox I referenced God as an incomprehensible mystery. Before that, I couldn't even into religion. I think those who try to personalize God and attribute such relatable human things as a sense of humor, are the ones who think they know his mind.

>>650480

Revere, not "referenced"

>>650480

I think God has a sense of humour. Look at the platypus.

>>649473

humor is rooted in many things beyond irony. you are delusional and unlearned.

>>648651

I feel this way about "Rocky Horror" now.

>>648651

It's amazing how modern man holds nothing sacred and mocks Christianity while shariah law is being established in the UK.

>>651700

Make sure you are never seen as racist is a part of the sacred code of modern ethics.

Sadly this false idol has led to terrible results in the UK

Now for something completely different:

>>651470

Agnostics aren't agnostic about everything though. Also,

>I can feel he exists

There's something I find wrong with that statement for some reason.

>>651739

SPLITTERS!

IMO there are some pretty good scenes in the movie

>Latin grammar

>Bartering

>What the Romans have ever done for us

>The silent man

But one the whole, I didn't really like the movie. I thought it was a bit deliberately provocative to Christians. Unnecessary and just pointless fedora-tipping.

In saying that, I really liked The Holy Grail.

>>651968

Don't forget the parody of British communism.

>>649981

I love it

>>650480

>God is a mystery

>It's a fact that God has no sense of humor

wat

>>648680

>The "joke" in the sermon on the mount scene was that the people in the back couldn't quite hear the message.

That is the surface level of the joke. What The Python crew were implying, is that we can't really trust what The Bible says about the sermon on the mount. This is very clear if you watch interviews they did on the subject, John Cleese et al make schoolboy level arguments against the Bible and Christ EG. The gospel narratives being untrustworthy because they were penned a generation after the events etc.

>>651752

It was written by atheists to mock agnostics

>>652338

because a sense of humor is all too human. There's no reason we should think he has one.

>>652360

>The Python crew were implying

>were implying

<because this is how I personally understand it

You clearly couldn't hear all the way in the back and you implied the message instead. You're part of the joke and didn't even realize it.

>>652444

>because a sense of humor is all too human

So, Jesus isn't human? Or was he not actually God? are you a gn*stic or even worse, Jehovahs Witness?

Or were we not made in Image and Likeness of our Heavenly Father? Are we not practically living icons of God? Are you a m*slim and want to reduce God to a senseless thing that muslims believe in?

Also, for the love of God, read your Bibles, at least.

>>652444

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the mote from your brother’s eye.

>>652473

How does this make me a hypocrite? I have a sense of humor. You have one. I don't think its sinful to have a sense of humor.

>>652472

God doesn't sin but we can do that too.

>>652523

Are you implying humor is of the devil?

>>652511

I should have put it in quotations. I meant it not as an accusation, but as an example of what can be -perhaps easily- interpreted as humor.

>>652444

Your logic is terrible. So now we can't associate traits that are "human" to God? Whose to say those aren't Godly traits that we've attained from Him? He's a mystery so you're making assumption after assumption to defend your position.

>>652570

We can but is there any particular reason to? If we just personalize God at our own convenience then we're being prideful.
