"The Robe", "Demetrius and the Gladiators" ... any others in this genre?


"The Robe", "Demetrius and the Gladiators" ... any others in this genre? I saw these movies on TV as a kid and always liked them. It was kind of series if I recall, connected by the robe that Jesus wore. There used to be a lot of Christian, Biblical or religious movies made in the US. Can't think of any recently or even in the last few decades, but we sure have a lot of movies about hit-men and mass-murderers.

I'm not religious, but I was raised Christian, and I do think any religion based on the Golden Rule is where its at as far as morality ... which leaves Muslims out because they don't have any limits for how to treat non-Muslims.

There is a man about to be executed in Iran because he lent money to a Muslim guy who refused to pay him back - because Allah says he doesn't have to. The two men got into a fight and the Muslim man was killed.

The family of the Muslim man demanded that the non-Muslim man be executed for murder even though the Muslim man started the fight that killed him. This is Islam - it is a sickness.
