i can see the potential for humor in it, but at the same time see many fallacies with the arguement Jesus is presenting that suggests those who created the parody really have no clue about the reality of being a christian versus the bible basher who pollutes the word and name .

there's no specific definition of heaven or hell, there's even the option for interpretation that there is no hell, just eternal death or eternal life in a heavenly body, comparing life without Gd as the same fate as being cast on a pyre for the dead and diseased.

Jesus had a clear and direct understanding of who He and Gd were and would answer in a parable rather than one line repetitive statements, that weren't even a factor when he was walking the roads...the parody has potential, but if they spent more time presenting Jesus as he was described by people who walked with him, it would have been a more...entertaining read that could have led to some good discussion about philosophy versus faith, rather than just another rehashed version of christian bashing.

both socrates and the bible stories have a lot to teach man about being human, with or without the dogma...but dumbing down one to exalt the other doesn't do either archetype any justice.
