Corpus Christi: A Play

Rating:
Summary: Unbelievable justification
Review: The play, certainly, did have a lot of emotion, was moving and well written, but in the end, just comes off as some one's attempt to justify their homosexuality. There is obviously some kind of moral struggle going on and this play is simply part of some one else's ill bred attempt to come out on top. The play comes off as being very insincere, far fetched and even blasphemous. I am shocked that it has been so well recieved and can only assume that we are trying to hard to be open minded that we have made ourselves blind instead to what can only be described as literary garbage. It is not original, not well thought out and written only to inflame the sentiments of god fearing people, and this sort of behavior is deplorable, especially for true literary enthusiasts. There are better way to get your point across and make homosexuality accepted besides slandering christ. I felt that this play was not worth the time it took to read and was very disappointed by it.

Summary: Christians will hate this because they're all Bible Bangers
Review: This play is a wonderful piece of literature. There is nothing wrong with it-- at all.

The one thing people have to learn, or get through their heads, is that this is ONLY A PLAY! It's not real. It's a story. Just like the movies that you support or rave about.

As for other things certain reviewers made about this: Jesus was not sinless. He was created in the image and likeness of man, so therefore, he wouldn't be sinless. And, as for the possibility of Jesus' sexual orientation, him being gay is probable. Many passages in the Gospels hint at this.

Also, perhaps you religious zealots and homophobes have heard about the possibility of a marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalen? Well, the first thing you should've caught was that she was the first one to visit his tomb-- a sign that they were married.

But back to the play.

In short, those of you who point to this book as being blasphemous should just go wake up. It's a book, you morons. Read it because it has nothing to do with the real world.

So go bang your Bibles some more, because I'm going to read this once more.
