Not really, although my mother is begging me to write a novel around it. Although the theological issues have to be addressed.

After all, Jesus was supposed to die anyway, so Nazis killing Him just doesn't make any sense.

"In the future, Nazi's go back in time to kill Jesus. The only one who can stop them is an FBI agent who plays by his own rules. (Played by Steven Seagal.) And he's also being wooed by the sexy Mary Magdalene. (Rebecca Romijn) Things get crazy when Jesus (Ben Stiller) decides that he'd much rather own a Roller Derby team. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Script by Joss Whedon."

I beg to differ. I believe that the story has the potential to be handled in a serious and thought-provoking manner if the theological issues can be addressed.

Take, for example, the fact that many inner-circle Nazi teachings revolved around Thule priests and Norse mythology. Many believe that Hitler was trying to steer Germany back towards a paganistic society, one that worshiped Hitler in a near-Messiahistic manner. What better way to insure a pagan Germany by eliminating potential religious influences at the source?

Scenario: a team of SS Nazis go back in time, using arcane technology gleaned from the ancient Sumerian civilization, to reverse the flow of time. Their intent: to go back to 33 AD and assassinate Jesus Christ at the start of His ministry, thus ensuring that Christianity never spreads to Germany.

However, the OSS gets wind of the mission, and send their best (but atheistic) US Army Ranger on the assignment. His mission: to kill the Nazis and ensure that the course of history remains true.

Possibly the single worst casting excerise ever. Bravo, Shadowman.

Why make it Hitler's Nazis? You could take the approach that in the future, a neo-nazi organisation wishes to avoid the fall of Nazi Germany, and decide that by eliminating the spread of Christianity, the pagan Germanic tribes would have flourished against a debauched Bacchanalian Rome, strengthening the Germany that was to come, and without Christian Europe colonising the New World, the USA of 1945 would be a pipe dream, and Germany would have grown to be a superpower to rival the USSR. Maybe that's too nuts.

I hate stuff like that!
It's so very wrong, every time stuff like that cums out I read on some Forum how stupid Germans are. It's real discriminating.

Not all Germans are Nazis, and I didn't say they were.

Sure you did. Now, in all seriousness, the badass would be either Kurt Russel or Michael Biehn. James Woods would be Jesus. Mary Magdalene would be played by Marissa Tomeii, and James Cameron would be directing. Executive producer? Dino Di Laurentis.

There was a sketch on MADtv that was sort of like that, but someone playing the Terminator went back in time to protect Jesus

Don't worry! He'll be back!

It's really bad when people who make comments about people assuming people are stupid spells the right word the wrong way. It's comes. PG-13 site man... pg-13 site...

that dream sounds like Wes Craven directed it!

Let me see..

It is kind of hazy but I'll try

In this dream I had last night, I have the ability to fly. I am flying around the city, and I find I am being chased by Movie Blackout. He is in his chopper form, and I am trying frantically to fly away and find some place to hide. One part is I am trying to fly up the through the inside of a skyscraper, but going up it by the stairwell. I can't remember the stuff that happens next, but the next part is, I learn from my mother that my stepfather has found out that he has a kid from a women he was with years ago. I am mad at this naturally, and I am sitting on the floor putting on red pants with a pattern on it, and I have a red shirt on too that might also have a pattern. I didn't want to hang around after hearing this upsetting news and I mumble, "Maybe I will go and annoy Blackout instead." Right after that dream (but I am still a little asleep) I have a BAD desire to get movie toy Blackout.

Edit: I haven't gotten to see the movie yet nor read the novel

Here is the dream I had last night...

I was in a lake house and I was being escorted to my death or something by terrorists. When my escorts weren't looking, I jumped into the bay and remained underwater until they thought I was dead! then later on, I surfaced onto the beach, which was being patrolled by a lone guard, and I lay spread, eagled on the sand so that I would blend-in with it. (it was nighttime, and I had no clothes for some reason). and when the guard turned his back, I ambushed him, took his clothes, and his gun. and then I met up with an accomplice named Bart who helped me escape the area! the rest is fuzzy after that point, something about the number 32, playing a game with a friend who's name escapes me, and being teleported to a high-school that has descended into chaos.(also at night).
