Welcome to the final installment of Godsmacked, in which Jesus tells a spanking-new parable, popularizes a torture rack, and sort of makes friends in midair. Jesus finally figures out What Jesus Would Do, and boy oh boy, Papa Yahweh will not be happy.
Equipped with editing software and sacrilegious tendencies, ssj rewrote Mel Gibson’s brutal love letter to Jesus with less blood and more lulz.
The mockery of The Passion of the Christ continues. Jesus dodges questions (and a few blows), Pontius Pilate guards the Narnian door to Rome, and women are inconvenienced by premonitions. Through the magic of subtitles, guest columnist ssj injects a half-pound of heresy into every scene.
When Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ splattered across movie screens in 2004, Christians ecstatically watched Jesus get his martyrdom on.
