For years I really loved John Cleese and Michael Palin, two of the braintrusts behind Monty Python. I grew adoring Time Bandits, etc. But when I saw "the Life of Brian," I was blown away by the blasphemy and sickening stuff they put into that flick. I ran across a talk show in England circa 1983 or so where Palin and Cleese are debating the then-bishop of Southwark, Mervyn Stockwood, and Catholic author/commentator named Malcolm Muggeridge and it was so relevant to what we're seeing today in the world---two types of people. I saw the usual arguments where the Christians argued the Gospel with a rational, common sense, historical, intelligent angle while the atheists argue with humor that seeks to distract and to use vague arguments that use the "open mind" vantage point that is tantamount to skeptical atheist 'religion.'
I got a lot out of listening to this debate, and I think it reinforces some things Rusmeister has said about us being careful who is behind the camera, script, and overall productions that we watch on TV or in film.
I hope you like this debate. I think these two Christians are outstanding....
