Look before the fundamentalists stone me let me say just one thing "JEHOVAH!" Okay I love that scene and if you don't know what I'm talking about don't criticize this film (but who does anymore?) The long chronicled critical debate on this film has left me feeling somewhat isolated. Not to sound preachy I'll just say I'm a Christian and I love how this film makes fun of politics and religion and particularly the corruption of politics and the lack of spirituality in one's religious odyssey. The people lampooned are those who don't reason just look for riddles to solve. The people who take for granted the very fundamental elements of Christianity, true Christianity. I love watching the Pythons, especially Terry Jones and Eric Idle, defend this film because I think they understand the difference between blasphemy and heresy and don't take this condescendingly but I think they made God proud to have them serve the purpose of making His sincere and insincere followers think, a reward for the sincere and a punishment for the insincere. Aside from religion I want to add the Stan/Loretta scene is hysterical as is the "What Have The Romans Ever Done For Us?" scene and many more scenes. Thank you for indulging my rant
