Summary

T’was an OUTRAGE! An Illinois-based company was working on a film about Jesus Christ. The problem? The film would portray Jesus as a drunk bank robber, a “swinging homosexual,” and a big fan of Hitler. Oh, and he’d also be depicted as having an affair with Mary Magdalene.

… wouldn’t the affair with Mary Magdalene make him bisexual, you ask? DON’T ASK QUESTIONS. In fact, don’t bother fact checking any of this! This is all about rage, baby!

Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
“Will Jesus Be Portrayed as Homosexual in an Upcoming Film?” By Barbara Mikkelson for Snopes.com
“That Jesus sex movie never existed,” by William Simbro for The Des Moines Register
“‘Jesus Sex Film’ rumor draws letters from 200,000 people,” by Carol Armstrong for the Dayton Daily News
“Crusade revives war on non-existent sex film,” by William Simbro for The Des Moines Register
“Jesus sex movie rumor hits state,” by Bernie Schoenburg for The Pantagraph
“‘Sex life of Jesus’ hoax snares Lodi mayor’s paper,” by Rod Leith for The Record
