I came across a discussion in 1979 about the 'Life of Brian'. People were and probably still are, divided about whether it is funny to make comedy about the life of Jesus.
I wonder if it is ok to laugh about this? Personally I don't find Monty Python funny, but I do sometimes laugh if other comedy is good and not too irreverent about such matters. Like Father Ted is funny to me because it is not crossing a line - it is obviously not serious. We do possess a sense of humour perhaps to stop us being too deadly serious all the time. But I feel a guilt if I laugh sometimes.
