'The Bible': Satan Actor Looks Like Obama In History Channel Miniseries

Quote"The Bible" has been an incredibly successful miniseries for the History channel, so it's no wonder viewers took to the internet after noticing that the actor cast in the role of Satan looks quite a bit like President Barack Obama........

I'm graduated in history and sometimes I want to sue this channel for defamation!

It should be called "twilight zone channel"!!

I've seen previews. I love how the producer cast his wife, Roma Downey Jr., as Mary. No hubris at work there.

Touched By An Angel, my ass. More like touched by a plastic surgeon.

Heh. Interesting how most of the other guys are white. Talk about "somewhat inaccurate".

I've been watching this garbage. I like how they gloss over stuff. I wanted to see the sex scene with Lot and his daughters. And Israel taking all the little girls as sex slaves.

This is not history. It amounts to proselytizing. The producers of the history channel should be ashamed.

This might make you gag
http://www.tmz.com/2013/03/18/the-bible ... ist-devil/ (http://www.tmz.com/2013/03/18/the-bible-mark-burnett-president-obama-jesus-christ-devil/)

QuoteThere's a swirl that the devil character in "The Bible" TV show is a thinly veiled President Obama ... and Mark Burnett tells TMZ, it's all the devil's doing ...THE REAL DEVIL.

Burnett -- a deeply religious man -- tells TMZ ... he believes there is a devil on earth.  Burnett says the devil has stirred the pot and created a false likeness between Obama and the TV devil.

Why, you ask, would the real devil care about a TV show?  Fact is ... the show is HUGELY popular and is having a big impact on viewers.  Burnett notes the show last night featured a face-to-face meeting between Jesus and the devil ... BUT it's not the first time the TV devil has appeared on the show.  The TV devil appeared in the Garden of Eden scene awhile back and no one said anything.

Burnett believes the real devil is scared that Jesus has now entered the picture and is trying to distract from Jesus' message by creating a false story.

Burnett says, "What could be more annoying to Satan than talking about Jesus?"  

Burnett is confident the real devil's plan of distraction will not work, saying, "We believe in the light."

I really don't think that guy looks like Obama. I guess they are both dark skinned and have two eyes, a chin, nose and mouth. Other than that, I don't see it.

And Jack the Ripper was in fact... the Loch Ness Monster.

They're as accurate about God as they are about UFOs, Big Foot, and ancient astronauts.

They're known as "The Hitler Channel" and have such hits as The Bermuda Triangle: Startling New Secrets in which they went back and forth with the nuttiest physicists I've ever seen trying to determine whether it was a black hole or white hole...or maybe both in the Bermuda Triangle causing all the strange disappearances...in the exact same numbers as any other similarly traveled waters in the world.  At least the Bible is a real thing, so I'd say it's a step up for them.

The Bermuda Triangle's "mystery"  is as false as the "prophecies" and "miracles" of the bible and Elvis being alive. The difference is how long they believe in this crap cause the ability of the human being deceived, believing what he wants and not on evidence and logic.

This show is a joke. My Mom asked me if I would watch it (she recently found out I was an atheist), and I laughed and told her I watched one and it was crappy as could be.

I'm just waiting for Kirk Cameron to make an appearance, with Ray Comfort for good measure.

You know, we could redo this again and actually make it interesting.  I'm thinking Spock (the character, not just the actor) as Jesus, Elijah getting "beamed up" to Heaven, a light sabre fight which Satan loses before being cast out of Heaven (with God talking on his communicator saying, "Now!  Initiate transport!"), etc.

No, he's Moroccan, but they did "black him up" for the part.

To quote David Letterman, " If Obama was Satan, the republicans would be more willing to make a deal with him."
