Evidence that Son of God is liberal blasphemy

• At that temple that suggests the Lincoln Memorial, Jesus denounces "lofty" public prayers and the showboating of professional holy men, so eat that, Glenn Beck.

• Jesus promises to "change the world."

• Handing out loaves and fishes looks a lot like entitlement culture.

• Some residents of the Middle East look like they might be from the Middle East.

• All the most tough-minded teachings of Jesus -- like the bit about thinking about sex being just as bad as committing adultery -- occur discreetly off-camera.

• The filmmakers neglect to show Jesus writing the U.S. constitution and weeping over the tragedy of bakery owners forced to whip up cakes for gay weddings.
