LOS ANGELES - The Rio de Janeiro H.Q. of Porta dos Fundos, the Brazilian comedy troupe behind the Netflix gay Jesus Christmas Special sparking outrage in Brazil, was hit by a Molotov cocktail attack in the early hours of Dec. 24.
Two petrol bombs were thrown at the building. causing a fire, which was put out by one of the office's security guards, according to one report.
No one was hurt in the attack which, however, "endangered several innocent lives in the company and on the street," Porta dos Fundos said in a press statement. Porta dos Fundos has given security cam footage of the attack to authorities.
It comes three weeks after Netflix released on Dec. 3 the 2019 Special, "The First Temptation of Christ," and - in an indication of the wildly disparate reaction to films made in a similar vein a month or so after Porta dos Fundos won an Intl. Emmy for its prior Jesus-themed 2018 Christmas Special, "The Last Hangover," in which his disciples wake up after a Last Supper blow-out, where Thomas contributes hard drugs and prostitutes, to discover Jesus is nowhere to be seen.
The petrol bomb attack also comes after a petition calling on authorities to ban "The First Temptation of Christ" has notched up 2.33 million signatures.
Released by Netflix on Dec. 3, "The First Temptation of Christ" starts with Jesus sneaking back home after 40 days in the desert, only to be surprised by Mary and Joseph who throw him a surprise 30th birthday party.

Dude walked around with 12 other dudes. I think it's way more plausible for him to have been gay rather than being straight.

Jesus has been mocked from day one. He was mocked by his contemporaries during his own life. Any self-professing Christian who owns a Bible and actually opens it once in a while should know this. Any self-professing Christian should also know that Jesus himself condemns violent retaliation even for his name's sake.

Great job spreading toxic masculinity around.

Straight dudes can't hang with buddies or they are gay apparently.

Devout Christianity is incompatible with free speech and democracy, and Brazil should be taking steps to limit immigration from countries with a large population of devout Christians, such as Brazil.

The last few years it seems like western Christians are always trying to favourably compare themselves to Muslims when it comes to representations of religious figures and yet there is always a strong undertone of 'well why can't we react like that too???' so wouldn't be surprised if stuff like this increases in regularity

Yes, if they were Christian, they wouldn't have failed to mention it in the article.

Smells suspicious to me.

Granted even if it was, doesn't mean the vast majority of Brazilian christians agreed with such a response.

I doubt it's Christians, the only people who would do this are the dictator's bloodthirsty thugs.

Freedom to practice a belief is fundamental to freedom.

See soceities that restrict or remove said right.

China, North Korea.

Sure, you can mock Jesus all you want there, but mock the secular head of state and go to a concentration camp.

The episode, by comedy group Porta dos Fundos, depicts a gay Jesus bringing a boyfriend home to meet his family.
More than 2.3m people have signed an online petition to remove the film.
A video circulating online appears to show a far-right religious group claiming responsibility for the attack.
In it, a group wearing ski masks and identifying itself as the "Popular Nationalist Insurgency Command of the Large Brazilian Integralist Family", appear to attack the production company offices with Molotov cocktails.
A statement, read with a digitally disguised voice, criticises Netflix and describes the film as blasphemous.
It also includes flags with nationalist and fascist connotations, Reuters news agency reports.

Atrack carried out by

Popular Nationalist Insurgency Command of the Large Brazilian Integralist Family

Can't find much info on it aside from being far right.

You say this but religion has been on a downtrend on all fronts for years yet people's happiness is also on a downtrend while depression rates are going up. Life is far more complex than you make it out to be as removing one part clearly isn't making the world a better place.

Depression is the result of isolation, not religion. If anything is to blame, it is technology. Religion is the cause of hate.

We're more divided before in this country than ever before yet the rates of people claiming to be religious is going down. It's contradictory to say religion is the cause of hate.

As a Christian, no.
Dislike everything about this immensely.
That said, while we don't KNOW it was so called Christians who did it...
I mean, it's pretty obvious.
Though there is the possibility of it being a false flag, but that's usually an American thing from what I've seen.

Again, the people who did this are terrible, and hopefully are caught and punished!

Not at all. The religious are being empowered and being told they are being threatened as a result of the lowering numbers. With all that is left being extreme religious nut jobs, they are being highly vocal and threatening to others.
<p class="">

<p class="">Most hate runs on "Jesus Hates Gays" and "Death to Christians/Islam" or the attacks on Mosques and Synagogues. Most hateful attacks have some connection to religion and if not, race.
