    The Bible is full of stories of seduction, betrayal, murder, non-typical heroes, tent pegs driven through enemy heads, etc. Is it too much to ask for a tiny grain of reverence for the subject matter?


    Look at some of the great films, Ben Hur, Spartacus, Ten Commandments, heck, even It's a Wonderful Life. These were all powerful and well made movies.


    Nowadays, if there is a "Christian" character involved at all, he/she has to be portrayed as a far right wack job.

    @winshape: well you've got Kings for Biblical allegory - somehow it manages to be subtle and heavyhanded all at once, so there's that for reverence.

    sounds INTERESTING - God in comics is always a touchy subject (though I kind of loved American Virgin!!!).

    @psthmn:

    Eh? A guy goes on a date (yes, a date) and he misses all the fun of a commenter inquisition.


    That's it, I'm never going on a date again!

    @ManchuCandidate: At least you were on a date. I just had a lot of work and don't know what is being referenced.


    Loss for me x2.

    Shouldn't the headline be "It's time to play the music"? That's what the song is. Facing the music is a whole other thing.

    Anyone who doesn't like the Muppet Show should be shot into the sun on a rocket.

    @iameleveneight: I hate the Muppet Show , but that's because when I was a kid, I had a huge phobia of puppets, and ventriloquist dummy's. Do I still get shot into the sun?
