This is great, thanks for posting. I can't believe Jesus Christ
Superstar is even on the list! Except, perhaps, for the fact that the
Jesus character, at the end, mutters *all* the words the four gospels
attribute to his last words. Maybe it's the "syncopated music" the story
is set to. Or the casting of Deep Purple's Ian Gillian as the christ,
which I think was pure genius...
Life of Brian is a given, but what about The Holy Grail? That witchhunt
scene, the cartoon god w/golden crown in the sky, the prayer at the end
resulting in a catapulted (sheep? cow?) and the exclaimed "JESUS
CHRIST!!!" I mean, *that* was fucking delicious!
The top two were no surprise at all, though. And mostly because they are
the most recent (not to mention the fact that we have body counts...)
But what about Galileo's public support of Copernicus's discovery of non-
geocentricism, which resulted in his house arrest by Christian leaders?
What about Charles Darwin's publication of "The Origin of Species", which
has caused the single most outrageous uproar in the religious community
since Galileo?
Oh well.

To many Christians (at least the ones who have actually seen the
show), the major objection to JCS (other than the fact that it uses
the "devil's music") is that it does not depict the resurrection of
Jesus while it has a song by Judas after his death. However attitudes
have largely changed with many Christians now embracing the musical.
I am admittedly rather fond of the way both movies (the 2000 and 1973

There's a 2000 version? I did not know that.
Lloyd-Webber has said that Gail Edwards' version is a lot closer to
his original visualization than the 1973 film is. A lot of critics
didn't like it because it was a direct adaptation from the stage
production and there were no outdoor sets whereas the 1973 version was
almost entirely outdoors. There is also a very, very hard to find 1995
version done in New Zealand with Jay Laga'aia (Xena, SW Episodes 2 and
3) as Judas that I have not seen.
If you search on YouTube, the various parts of the 2000 version are
posted. If you know the proper order of the songs you can see the
entire show. Or you can just break down and pay the $20 for the DVD as
I did.

2000 - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0275434/ (If you go through the

I saw JCS on the stage a few years back. My sympathies were entirely
with the character of Judas, who came across as really tragic. He'd
watched his best friend change from a political leader to a delusional
egomaniac who was a danger to everyone around him. So even though he
hated himself for doing it, he turned Jesus over to the authorities,
and in the end, couldn't live with himself afterwards. Jesus, OTOH,
was just a kook.

It's funny how they go after Darwin and never mention Alfie Wallace,

As to official treatment after death, there's an odd contrast. Darwin's
family were officially asked to *consent* to his being buried in
Westminster Abbey (where he wound up in the company of Newton and
Herschel), rather than the parish church. He got a nice monument in three
years, once the one bit of official opposition (Richard Owen) was out of
the way. Galileo was buried in the local church, but the Grand Duke was
not permitted to place him in the basilica or to raise a monument to him;
it ook 100 years to fix this.
I wonder if

That's the official part. Unofficially, the rabid opposition to Darwin,
mainly US-based, has no real parallel in Galileo's history, so far as I
can see. Torricelli actually called himself a "Galileist" and managed to
pursue a distinguished career. I'd say that the real problem over Darwin
has been based entirely in the rabble, who just didn't get much into
questions of science in the early days.

That's a national honour. But remember Christianity is largely
cultural there - most people only go to church to be hatched, matched

True now, but not nearly so much so in the 1880's. COE doctrine was a
serious matter, formally (as in signing the 39 Articles in order to teach
at Oxford), and in popular belief. BTW if you want some fun, googling
Charles Kinsley, a respectable Victorian clergyman, can lead you to some
remarkable rants about him as a successor to Judas or something.

On that basis I hereby nominate it: "most people only go to church to

Galileo was pretty roundly condemned by the Church while he was alive,
but the anti-evolution
xians today would love to bring Darwin back to life so they could boil
him in oil.
As to official treatment after death, there's an odd contrast. Darwin's
family were officially asked to *consent* to his being buried in
Westminster Abbey (where he wound up in the company of Newton and
Herschel), rather than the parish church. He got a nice monument in
three
years, once the one bit of official opposition (Richard Owen) was out of
the way. Galileo was buried in the local church, but the Grand Duke was
not permitted to place him in the basilica or to raise a monument to
him;
it ook 100 years to fix this.
That's a national honour. But remember Christianity is largely
cultural there - most people only go to church to be hatched, matched
and dispatched.

Yes, it is a very popular saying here in Australia, too.

Sorry to say, that is by far not original, and one is likeliest to hear it in a homily at
church, bemoaning how little importance society, including one's own communicants,
pay to one's vocational choice.

Agreed.
Off topic - ish
Searching for the phrase I found this:
"dismayed at the marketing strategy of ‘buy one
and get one free’ offered by Danish bacon. “Just check
that the pork you are buying has been ‘hatched, matched
and dispatched’ here in Britain” she says."
