And thou will sayeth unto his fellow Christians, be not offended or cry blasphemy, it is a spoof, you really should watch comedy a little more often, God did give us laughter, so use it. And thou will suggest they watch stuff that really is blaphemous, like Dogma, and just relax because real life isn't like comedic entertainment, its funny moments don't go on ad naseum. And thou shall endeth with a suggestion that they also find the time to watch Monty Python movies.
Anyway enemyathegates has a point - this sort of thing could POTENTIALLY be taken as offensive by Christians. If something could possibly offend someone (withing reason) then its almost always best not to do it. Its just common decency. Too hard a theory to put in practise you say? Well in this specific instance - it should be pretty easy to see the potential to insult given that you are parodying a religious text.
On the other hand - I have seen in the houses of many devout Chrisitians parodies of the 23rd Psalm and the 10 commandments - such as the weightwatchers 23rd Psalm and 10 commandments - so I have no personal objection to this thread.
So parody on you heathen dogs <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

the best Monty Python movie was Life of Brian. i haven't laughed that much in a long time (Dogma was also pretty funny, but it isnt Monty Python)
chuckles...this could go on forever. I like the list though...bloody funny. Everything else since it looks like it's getting into a religious debate perhapes. Idea behind this...amusing...intention of insult...doubtful...will life go on...YES. that said...lets go a killing

thou shalt not worship thee sensory by building it first.
i can see why some would take offense at this - personally i'm not offended by it because i happen to like humor and comedy (if nothing was meant to be funny why did God give us the ability to laugh?)
