This is an article about a different newspaper's quote from a random person who didn't like that the musical had a warning about fake blood.
I'm not from the UK, is The Standard known for being a content mill?

"As someone who's never seen it, nor heard anything about it, I think the whole musical is stupid."

Lmao
Well the Bible IS nonsense, so that squares
Nonsense!? I found Jesus Christ Superstar to be quite theologically sound. My Catholic grandmother agrees.
The random person on the street that a paper interviewed said that the content warnings were nonsense, not that a warning says that the show is nonsense.
A warning saying the show is nonsense would be reasonable. In my opinion, religion, or anything else that requires belief in something despite contradictory evidence is, by definition, nonsense.
The show is pretty blatant in the stance that Jesus was just a normal (non-magical, not a god) human philosopher who was a little mentally unwell, and how he started to believe the tall tales that other people were telling about him.
Do you think that Jesus Christ Superstar is an evangelical piece or something?
