It’s strange that you would use a screen capture image of a character named Brian from the 1979 movie “Life of Brian” in place of a more generally accepted image of Jesus Christ. The satirical comedy film from the British Monty Python troupe is about the life of Brian Cohen, a young Jewish man who is born on the same day as, and next door to, Jesus Christ and is subsequently mistaken for the Messiah. The film contains themes of religious satire that were controversial at the time of its release, drawing accusations of blasphemy and protests from some religious groups. It’s cool by me – see I paid good lawn-cutting money to see the film in the theater when it came out and have abeen a Pythoin fan since the mid-70’s. But I wonder what Blake , Ricky, and Sean would think!
