Life of Brian at 40

This is an interesting debate about possible blasphemy. People get a bit tetchy at times, almost raise their voices. Less than a decade later Rushdie scored himself a fatwa.

You and I both endured the compulsory teachings from idiots like Muggeridge and co. From the age of 8 -18 in the uk. This clip serves to reinforce the disdain I felt when watching it then . The point raised regarding ones geographical upbringing , determining ones beliefs , was completely ignored . Great film , I must say though that knowing it so well , I don’t watch it anymore .

Always look on the bright side of life.

I like the part where Cleese talks about the bit on some TV show in the 60’s where they spoofed a preacher giving his sermon, and how funny and liberating it was. Wait maybe that was his more recent interview on Colbert :slight_smile:
