A pre-preface to Christians who think exactly as I do on matters of religious philosophy, those of other faiths, those of un-faith, those of anti-christian faith or those of christian anti-literalist christian beliefs...IF your opinions on the subject require you to state things obcenely, vulgarly, profanely or unkindly to people who believe differently than you, please give this thread a pass. I don't mean this to ask posters of differing philosophical opinion than I not to post (As examples, people saying "I don't believe Jesus Christ ever actually existed..." or "I believe Joshua Ben Joseph was a false prophet" aren't asked not to participate, but rather "Jesus [insert vulgar expletives here] Christ never existed you retard, religionist freaks !" types of people are asked not to participate.
Let me preface this by saying that this television program is not pro-literal New Testament Scriptural account of the version of the birth of Christ laid out in the gospels. That said, I think it's well worth seeing.
Grounded literalist Christians won't have their faith shaken, despite challenges to their beliefs. Un-literalist Christians will probably be the most receptive to this program, but reasonable people of all faiths or non-faith who are interested in religious history may likely also like it.
Two great quotes that I liked from the very introduction to the program...
"Christianity stands or falls on a certain amount of irreducable events"..
"If you can't get excited about this, you're a Christian without a pulse..."
Both of these quotes from the first couple moments of the program.
