A Brazilian judge ordered Netflix to stop showing a Christmas special that some called
blasphemous for depicting Jesus as a gay man and which prompted a gasoline bomb attack on the satirists behind the program. The ruling by Rio de Janeiro judge Benedicto Abicair responded to a petition by a Brazilian Catholic organization that argued the “honor of millions of Catholics” was hurt by the airing of “The First Temptation of Christ.” The special was produced by the Rio-based film company Porta dos Fundos, whose headquarters was targeted in the Christmas Eve attack. Netflix told The Associated Press it would not comment on the ruling.

I would not be surprised if Netflix pulls the special out. They need customers, not conflicts. They have made consessions in the past. However, I think that religious groups should have a little bit more of faith in the power of their god.
I think that religious people would not watch such a film, and even non believers would see any value in such a pointless parody .
Why not let people decide and send the message to the creators of the film? By creating the polemic, these groups only tickle the curiosity of viewers who would not have learned about it otherwise.
