Doesn't Look A Thing Like Jesus

I'm currently loving the website for The God Who Wasn't There (and presuambly the movie) for their push towards denying the humanity of Jesus.

"The early founders of Christianity seem wholly unaware of the idea of a human Jesus" (link).

In these post-Da-Vinci Code days of casual Adoptionism and outright denial of Jesus' divinity it's nice to see an attempt to revive good old-fashioned Docetism.

(For those who don't follow exciting theological arguments around the nature of Christ that were decided at a minimum of 1650 years ago and in reality were never seriously doubted by those who really believed the bible, I apologise. For the record though, if you didn't follow the above, the official iamsparticus.com position is that of classical biblical Christianity; Christ is God and Man. Also, the above 'loving' part, is sarcastic.)

"Holding modern Christianity up to a bright spotlight, this bold and often hilarious new film asks the questions few dare to ask."

Depending on what they select to be "modern Christianity" (and I suspect I know what it'll be already), they are going to have a ball tearing it to shreds. These days Christian ambassadors in the public spotlight are like Bill Gates advertising Macs... or something.

Caveats and the such

A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.
