Moshe Cohen: Religion is not based on rational system of proofs. It survives because of human need. more

The Body is DOA, 3 August 2001
1/10
Author: guyb from Portland, Oregon

What a shame. This was a great premise. This was a great beginning. Really caught my interest. But nothing ever happened. Kind of like the old cartoon about the billboard with the police car on it. Just paper. No substance. What a waster. Usually, I'm against "remakes," but this is one I'd like to see done right someday. I think it's just that the "body of Christ" just seems to be in vogue at the moment and everybody's trying to grab on to it. (sound historically familiar?)
