On set "The Bible" 48 wild snakes found at the foot of the cross!
"We had snakes and scorpions on the set, and we had a snake man whose job it was to clear the set of snakes," Downey says. "Maybe on any given day, he would clear one or two snakes from any given location. On the morning of the crucifixion, when I got up to the set, he called me aside, and he had a writhing bag on the road … he had pulled 48 snakes from the foot of the cross that morning! It was an exhausting few days for everyone involved, and emotionally draining, but it was very important to us that we got that right."

Obviously something supernatural was going on here.

If that's not convincing enough another incidents on the production -- a huge wind suddenly kicked up on an otherwise still night during the filming of a scene in which Jesus tells Nicodemus, "The Holy Spirit is like the wind"; and an irreplaceable part of one of Jesus's costumes floated away during filming but was returned several days later by a young boy who had traveled quite a distance to return it -- added to the feeling, Burnett says, that the cast and crew were working on a very special production.

Jesus is Lord!!

I think religious people tend to look for weird things when wanting to validate their own religion.

Weird things happen on all production sets.

You just had a bunch of Christards together looking for meaning where there was none.

Probably because all the giant rocks around the crosses were big heat sinks.

Snakes love to lay on and nest under those things.

BET the cross was on a warm rock, platform and before the cold night air set in, the snakes found the warm spot for their COLD blooded bodies.

I understand what your saying, but this is just too weird and cant just be shunned off by saying "it happens on all production sets". Come on get real, this does not happen, period. These things cant be explained as people looking for weird things cause they are significant things you cant just find by looking really hard.

Also, these are not just religious people.

How would you explain it if it had happened on the set of a production on witchcraft? And why won't you use that same explanation for this?

I've been through all of that. Was a devout evangelical at one stage. The illogical crap and the rigidity it instils. No god would present himself in this obscure way. If he supposedly gave me the common sense I use, he aint using much of it.

I think the Lord's presence might have been on this set.

The show had the highest rating of any cable program all year.

It's won it's timeslot in ratings each night, even over broadcast TV.

It's popularity has been a surprise. I saw a report that it is sparking a revival in Christian themed movies in Hollywood, including a movie about Pontious Pilate in the works with Brad Pitt as Pilate.

The show has been outstanding. It's like once in a generation that they attempt to put the Bible on film. They did a great job. I bet God liked this one.

What free will? If I choose not to believe, I don't get a free pass to the playground? This is the defintion of duress.

Free will is precisely that. The freedom to choose not to believe.

This is a fascist ideology peddled by the unscrupulous intent on bending people to their will, invariably for monetary gain. The fact that Hollywood is padding out this fairy tale hardly surprises me.

That show isnt perfect...

BUT it is spreading the gospel to countless millions.

It serves a good purpose...

It surprises me not that satan would try to mock it...

Satan is a bastard.

Thanks for sharing!

Upon reading i felt... More spiritual and knew that the show had something going good for it :)
