The Passion of Aladdin

Tonight I watched Aladdin, which was rather whatever. Then I followed it with The Passion of the Christ, which is torture to watch, and I'm not just talking about the plot.

I was thinking that the movie doesn't add anything to the understanding of the bible (actually it wouldn't make a lot of sense if you hadn't already read the bible), and it's not like a character study either. Pointless.

But then I did have a a previously unthought thought about the Jesus story: What's up with virgin mother Mary? Okay, if you had a virgin birth (which is totally not right IMO- if you're going to give birth to the son of God, how fair is it that you don't get to have sex with God? Cause like, that would have to be great sex. And also, at what point did she get married? She was married when she had him, which means that either she couldn't even have sex on her honeymoon or else Jesus was getting an inter-womb facial when she did. But then I guess that wouldn't be a 'virgin birth' but just a virgin conception, and the bible is pretty clear on that.) and you knew your son was the son of God, then why the hell would you let him become a carpenter? Like, you know he has better career options that that.

I'd have opened a tavern and been like, "Hey Jesus, how about you zap us up some more of that wine? The customers are thirsty." And speaking of wine, how smart is it that the Jews were all dying of thirst in the desert and Jesus takes the water and turns it into wine? For the son of an omnipotent being, he didn't know jack squat about hydration.
