I finally got a chance to watch it and it really does make you think. Makes me think of swiss chesse and blind sheep. ;D
The Greatest Story Ever Told in six minutes or less was priceless.

I figured there was, since there was no real ending.

"When we say that Jesus was produced without sexual union, was crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended to heaven, we propound nothing new or different from what you believe regarding those whom you call the sons of Jupiter." - Justin Martyr, one of the most influential Church Fathers "If Jesus had been on earth, he would not have even been a priest" - Hebrews 8:4 My personal favorite "Those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them- Bring them here and kill them in front of me" - Jesus (Luke 19:20) So much for peace and love 
"Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.'
The Hebrews was also out of context, the writer (Paul?) makes the point that we have a high priest who is better than the earthly priests, seated at the right hand of God (v 1). Verse 3 says that a priest must have something to offer (cf. Heb 7:27). Verse 4 then makes the point that if Jesus were on earth (remember that verse 1 establishes that He is in heaven), He would have nothing better to offer since there are already priests on earth. But verse 5 highlights the absurdity of this: they only serve shadows or copies of heavenly things, while verse 2 says that Jesus is in the very presence of God.
It is clear from verse 1 that the author places Jesus in heaven with God. Therefore, verse 4 cannot be a denial of the historicty of the person of Jesus Christ. The flow of thought, I would say, is pretty easy to follow.
Additionally, Jesus was of the tribe of Juda. Priests were required to be of the tribe of Levi.

Exactly, Its the idea of him and what he stood for in terms of teachings and as you put it the message that is truly important and that transcends any physical exsistence. Because you can kill or destroy a person where ideas are far more resilient to destruction.

Exactly they just can't handle that. I don't know why maybe it scares them to think that something that is so ingrained in them and on which they depend so heavily is not tangible or real.
