If Arnold Schwartzenegger had played Jesus in The Passion, would his last words have been "I'll be back"?

That would have been strangely apt... apart from the whole Arnold Schwartzenegger playing Jesus bit. ;)

Stu, that was bad, but it reminds me of an improv show I saw last night. The topic was 'worst things to say when you're ice skating'.  The guy walks out on the ice and looks back toward his buddies and says, "Hey! Bob! I'm Jesus!"

That's taken (the "I'll be back" bit) directly from the MTV Terminator 3 clip.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

And here I was thinking "I'll be back" was referring to the three Terminator movies. Go figure

Oy. You guys. The MAD TV, sorry. Anyway, it was a cross between Jesus and Terminator. The Arnold stand-in said at the end of the clip, when Jesus was being led away to be crucified, "He'll be back", hence my comment. :rolleyes:

he will become docile after that,

It's kinda funny how people don't realize that the historical Jesus was actually buff since he spent almost 30 years of his life dragging around lumber as a carpenter.

That doesn't necesarily make him overly muscular or anything. Fit/Trim/Lean perhaps. I think the bigger oversite is Jesus as stereotypical Western European White vs. coloured, if at least somewhat.

Actually, considering the amount of woodwork done in those days (next to nothing), he was probably a stone mason, not a carpenter. "Carpenter" is just an assumption of a bad translation.

Maybe, but that doesn't reduce the amount of work he'd have to do methinks.


BTW, why would there be less wood working required back then?

All the legislation forbidding use of the rainforests in Egypt and the middle East for lumber severely hampered the woodworking business. ;)

Primarily because of the cost of nails and the other assorted joining materials.  It would've been cheaper to carve the structures and stuff from stone, almost the exact opposite of today where stonework is considered extravagant and only for the rich.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.
