Portraying A Gay Jesus - Homosexual Jesus

international QUOTE (CNN)
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A group of Christian protesters in Scotland has called on police to prosecute a theater company for blasphemy because it is putting on a play about a gay Jesus.

"If there is a blasphemy like this, Christians have to stand up," said Stephen Green of Christian Voice who protested outside a theatre showing Terence McNally's controversial play "Corpus Christi" at St Andrews University.

"Jesus Christ is being portrayed here as a foul-mouthed, drunken, promiscuous homosexual and that is an insult to my faith," Green told BBC Radio.

But the play's director, Zsuzsi Lyndsay, defended the production: "He is not portrayed as a drunken foulmouth. He doesn't say one bad word throughout the play."...

This is most unfortunate, but quite easily dealt with...if no one attends the play, it will shut down. If it has an unsuccessful run, then others will not be likely to follow its example and create such trash themselves. If people would stop patronizing such trash, it would stop being produced.

Good point Tena but the thing is that people are so silly...because it's controversial, because they portraiting Jesus Christ as 'a drunk man' the play may even have more people than expected! rolleyes.gif

It is true LDS, what you say. I just think, though, that unless people are willing to stop seeing such trash, they should stop complaining about it. The fact that such a play will be a huge success is a sad statement regarding the state of today's society. However, unless people are willing to stop going, it won't change. An example - many people complain that their is not enough decent entertainment on TV or the movies, yet if their favorite book is made into a movie and receives a rating that indicates it might not be entirely wholesome in its presentation, will they not attend? What about when their favorite actor or actress is in a film that receives a rating they wouldn't normally attend or the subject matter is one that is very popular, but the rating so poor?

Nothing will change unless we change it and it can't be done successfully through legislation...at least in my opinion.

By the way, I must admit, that I have been guility of this in the past, as well.

Maicman, don't you see the problem with that. As long as you go, they don't care what you say after. Entertainment is a business. No matter what you say after, they have no received your money. So, they were successful and someone else will follow their lead with another play, which will also be successful.

The problem is that there will always be a few who want to see it, just for the controversy. Similarly, there are always customers for inappropriate shows on TV and pornographic magazines and terrible sites on the internet. We always talk about voting with our dollars, but the reason filth and tasteless material still exists is that a vocal minority always supports it enough that it is quite profitable to continue producing it. Thus, the solution is not only to stop paying for filth if we are doing so, but also to start demanding good entertainment, and when we see a movie or play that is clean and well-produced, we should make an extra effort to get others to attend it. We should give them as much business as possible. We should write letters to studios and theatre companies, thanking them for these productions we appreciate. They truly listen when the seats are full and they receive thanks and requests for more.
