  • Jesus christ superstar.

    My family likes this movie. Well looking at it I am disappointed. Judas is portrayed as a good guy and Jesus is portrayed as some washed up rock star. My family thinks this makes more sense than the actual story. They also think this has brought more people together than the actual bible. Why?

    I seriously doubt that their conclusion is correct, but I enjoyed it when it came out. It got me more interested in examining the source material.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      That doesn't even make sense; it's been out less than 50 years and the Bible has been around for over 1700 years.

        It's a horrible movie.

          I saw the play. Back in the early-mid 70s.

            I have never seen it, but the premise sounds terrible.

              Andrew Lloyd Webber gets way too much acclaim. Most of his stuff is garbage.

              Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast.

                    They think it weird that I say that Judah was an unrepentant greedy traitor who hanged himself to avoid dishonor and legal repercussions. Instead they think Judah was told by jesus to betray him.

                            Our local high school drama club put on this play, and it was ... um.... they "Christianized" it (supposedly), and there was a LOT of scripture quoted - mostly the beatitudes and parables, which was impressive that the kids took time to learn so much scripture. But the character of Jesus was a hapless goofus, and, yeah, Judas was just a misguided cool dude.

                            I didn't like it at all.
                            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                              Pretty sure it was Judah; Judas would be the Latinized/Hellenized variant of it.
                              Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom
