Yes there is a big difference between religion and faith, that is why when I'm asked if I'm religious I say no, I am however spiritual and have a faith.
And the movie, yes, a very powerful one indeed.
Ebony I think you pretty much summed it all up quite nicely, thank you.

We can get deep at any time of the year. Which is why we need the Smut to keep us from getting too deep.

Did anybody know that Christ was born between 7 and 4 BC and not in the year 0.

I'd believe that, historians have been trying to figure it out for ages.
My idea about that was the Roman christians started the time frames..
B.C = Before Christ
A.D = After Christ
Much the way Americans especially will refer to 9/11 as a base for time and events that happened before and after. It marks how significant it really was.(I hear many people even outside of America refer to before 9/11 or after.)

That is correct, BC means Before Christ and AD means Anno Domini which translates from latin to In the year of (Our) Lord and was used in the Julian calander and is used in the Gregorian calander which is being used now.
Oh and talking about Easter, you really should read about this.

And just to confuse things even more, don't forget BCE (Before Common Era), used by those who don't believe in Christ.

Well they do say in Star Trek that time travelling gives you the headaches and we have certainly been doing that with this calander or that calander or this time zone or that timezone and then in Britian we just had the change to BST and the Americans had a similar change earlier on as well.
I am surprise that we know when we are at all.

Wow, that's interesting... I got a message that said "This video is not available in your country". I never got one of those before!! So what are they showing in Britain that the US is not allowed to see????

Met it just went to a common page in youtube. That generally happens when the link isn't quite right.
The date system we use is the Roman calender... its just a way we track time, and most of the world recognized the millenium.
I never went fully into the historical side of Easter and how some religions worked out the time frame. I guess in a way to me its not whats important...
So why would there be restrictions on the video I wonder...

That's funny, I have just tried it again and it worked. Maybe it's that far right Christain people you got over there.
Basically it's Robot Chicken parody of Kill Bill called Kill Bunny, where Jesus is in the role of the Uma Thurman charactor and goes after the Easter Bunny who's in the role of the David Carradine charactor. It's a trialer style version which has Santa Claus as the Lucy Liu charactor and the Jewish rabbi version of the Crazy 88 gang.
Dammed funny.

Still strange but just goto YouTube and copy and type, [adult swim] : Robot Chicken - In Quarantino, this in and hopefully it will come up either exactly or give you several choices.
