There are better stories

It’s all very well for the Christian minority to rant that the BBC is ignoring their Easter festivals in favour of Ramadan, doing it’s usual trick of favouring something foreign over the national equivalent.
    But the fact remains that The Greatest Story Ever Told is just Hollywood hype. Yes, it’s a story, and maybe based on a few facts, but it’s as real as anything that comes out of the film industry. And as relevant to most of the population as Hollywood is to non-cinema-goers.
    And, like all religions, it has been used to excuse torture, murder and theft from people who don’t accept it as well as an excuse for doing good by stealth.
