The Passion of The Christ is about as close as it gets.

What a shock, atheists voted the two films that mock Christianity to the final round of this. Shameful.

Pathetic finalists. That's what happens when Democrats vote for a Republican or vice versa.

I can't vote for either of these. My favorite Jesus has always been Buddy Christ in "Dogma."

Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life.

All your really important questions are answered there, including the unladen airspeed of an African swallow.

Interesting to see that the last two that are left, are total and complete shows of mockery, disrespect, and sacrilege against Jesus. HP is really all about the "news" huh? smh..............

There is only one reason for why Life of Brian isn't winning this: it's being sabotaged by the Campaign for Free Galilee.

Support from the Free Galilee Campaign would have won it for "Life of Brian."

When I was young and after 13 years of catholic school I loved JJSS. It was my favorite movie!

After being out of catholic school, and getting higher education and reading The Power of Myth, by Joseph Campbell, I'm not a christian anymore!

But now JJSS is just so super sad I can't watch it.

Expecting a loss, the PFLJ are already moving into position outside Lloyd-Webber Towers.

I remember growing up, watching Jesus Christ Superstar on VHS every morning before school to the point that I wore out the sound on multiple tapes. There have been many actors who have played Jesus in JCS over the years but I think Ted Neeley is by far the best. He and JCS are amazing live!
