When "LOB" came out, I was quite the "Holy Roller" but still enjoyed the movie
as I "got" the joke.  Actually, it's fairly historically accurate, as the times

were calling for a messiah of some sort, political or otherwise.  Brian's
"disciples" just got it wrong, that's all.

Nothing offensive at all about it, really.  Well, /maybe/  the "Full Monty"
shot.....
