Like me, have you been invited to watch it with a church group? If so, do NOT: 1. Belt out “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” during the crucifixion scene 2. Announce the sequel: “Inquisition: The Revenge of the Christians” 3. Ask “So is this happening at 3:00 or 6:00?” Anything else \*\*not \*\* to do? ---

Say the following: “Man, Jesus was _hot_!” “Don’t you just hate it when they set a movie up for its own sequel? I mean, really, who just up and comes back to life beside Freddy and Jason?” “Man, Mary was _hot_!” ---

-Thou shalt not start a drinking game with sacramental wine (1 shot for every lash, 2 shots for each nail, 3 shots for everytime a Latin character says ‘Ego’, and 4 shots for whenever an Aramaic speaker says a word that doesn’t require phlegm.) -Thou shalt not loudly sing “So you are the Christ/you’re the great Jesus Christ/prove to me that you’re no fool/walk across my swimming pool…” when Jesus goes before Totally Gay Herod™ -When Pilate offers the crowd their choice of Jesus or Barabbas, thou shalt not cry out “What’s behind Curtain Number 3?” or scream “OJ! OJ! OJ!” -Thou shalt not make use of the phrase “Now that’s what I call a good old Roman asswhoopin!” -Thou shalt not say the old punchline “I can see my house from here!” during the agony on the cross -Thou shalt not say “Dude! You are so punk’d!” when Peter denies Jesus. -Thou shalt not say aloud in the dark theater “Keep your hands to yourself, Father Joey!” -Thou shalt not cry out “Jesus Christ is that guy hung!” when the cross is raised. ---
