Seeing things like the splitting of the Red Sea, the burning bush, and giant rock people on the big screen really shines a spotlight on how silly these things are. My favorite part was the casting of The Bible; everybody cast in the OT was middle eastern, then, Jesus shows up and suddenly he's the first white guy. You can sort of compartmentalize Jesus as white in your head and never give it much thought, but seeing the story unfold shows in stark contrast how ridiculous it is.
A lot of Christians can't handle the fact that if Jesus actually existed, he'd look a lot like the kinds of people they'd rather bomb out of existence.
Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing.
