        Absolutely not!!! The real Easter story needs to be shown tonight. Hollywood is twisting the Word of God to conform to their worldly beliefs, and that’s completely unacceptable.

        Nothing more powerful than the actual story...whereas this is just a bunch of poofs prancing about in liatards mocking the word of God.

        Even Jesus name called when he saw that things weren't right. But then.... you'd need to have read the gospels to know that rather than get your understanding from an camp Andrew loyd webber musical.

        Fun fact: For those who complain of a black man playing Christ, he was Aramaic and dark skinned!

        the people in that time period and location in the middle east were persian and greek looking. They were more white than the current iteration of people who live there as those people are more closely related to turks when the caliphate took over the region. The more you know.

        No the photo used is a genetic depiction of what they think people of that time period looked like which is greek or persian.

        Like I state, why you would be expected to be taken seriously is beyond me. Why not go find a fellow Trumpster to share your thoughts with?
