Not at all. Life of Brian doesn't make fun of religion, let alone of a religion. What it makes fun of is mostly fundamentalists and also, partly, other non-religious and religious people. And speaking as one of the latter, I think we could stand being made fun of a bit more - if you can't laugh at yourself, you're already lost to love.

Anyway, what are you heathen Jehovahs all doing spelling Hebrew names in Gentile letters? Go learn good old Aramaic the way Jesus Himself used it, you hypocrites!

Which is better, a hypocrite or an imposter?

I seriously doubt that the readers and posters on this website would know how to pronounce words written with Hebrew letters. I believe I am being helpful to the English speaking people who do not know Hebrew or Aramaic. Is that too difficult for your pea brain to comprehend? 😏

Imagine someone in Jesus's day called ... Jack.
And I mean his name soundedJack as we pronounce it today.

How would they write that?

I believe Jack was a nickname for John that came from the Greek Iōannēs and the Aramaic Yohan and Yohannan.

There was a man sent from God; his name was Yohannan.

So you can figure out how to pronounce Aramaic names. Its just a pity you can't read English. That isn't what he asked you.

I did the best I could considering the fact there was no "Jack" back then. 😏

Well 'the best you could' indicated you didn't understand the question.

Insulting people doesn't help you get an answer, even less when you yourself are patently not willing to give a serious one.

What is insulting about telling the truth? And I also believe I provided serious information that will help people find their own answer. 😏
