there's this series on the history channel called the bible have you heard
about the slowest yeah
and it uh...
we well this number of questions that we have about it but the latest controversy
is that the actor cast to play seton in the miniseries
looks like president obama and it's being allege that this is kind some kind
of uh... indicator of a right wing agenda
now when i look at this
there's definitely some kind of resemblance there i mean that that we
have significant makeup and the guys wearing a hoodie no question if satan
also had skills are iced tea that kind of remains to be seen eighteen
subsequent episodes of the miniseries
the actor is mohammed mehdi
with johnnie
and
i tied when i first saw i i thought it's probably just some kind of coincidence i
don't really think that there's any kind of specific plot
initially dismissed weeded out by glenn beck who said anyone else think the
devil in the bible sunday and history channel
looks exactly like that guy
glenn beck thing is not to mention president obama because a thief he
dislikes him so much the referral as that guy
and a lot of media outlets picked it up and we finally got a statement actually
from the history channel about it
history channel has the highest respect for president obama
this series has produced with an international and a verse cast the
respected actors
it's unfortunate that anyone made this false connection histories the bible is
meant to enlighten people on its rich stories
and deep history
and uh... somebody else uh... the executive producer roma downey said
both martyr burnett and i have nothing but respect and love
for eller president
false statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction
to try and discredit the beauty of this story of the bible you know uh...
there's actually a lot
already to discredit the story of the bible
without having seen look like obama to anything close
i would say so uh...
but that is an uncanny uncanny resemblance right there also
if it's the history channel y satan there's their historical evidence it
makes this midterm
uh... i've been wondering about the history channel for years and have been
aliens they have all these weird half-hour reality shows that have
nothing to history
uh... i'm not to certain about the uh... wickedness the have their history
i actually think that
even without this
satan old bomb a look-alike there's a lot of concerns in this in any serious
like for example they portray jesus is white
they portray mary as as uh... a white woman all the main characters are way
and i'm thinking oh my second
if you were a jew from the region at that time
you did not look the way these people are being portrayed in this mini series
now of course not jesus is uh... jesus is like uh...
white guy
uh... looks like uh...
uh... i don't know someone we'd find walking around downtown here yet it's
kind of ridiculous but
but you know it does i feel like that is the image most people get when they most
americans get when they think of jesus yeah i certainly have a lot of concerns
with the bible series on the history channel but this picture this look-alike
thing here is relieved not high on the less the fact that satan is in something
called history
is probably more of an issue for men right bright abhi neck balancing the
books historical significance is certainly
one thing recollected
addressing it spits fairy tales is is quite another
