"Jesus Christ: Superstar" Is Great Musically, But Stinks By It's Heretical Implications.
They imply Jesus and Mary Magdalene were lovers and make Jesus out to be condescending to Judas and more.

Well, I would expect a musical titled "Jesus Christ: Superstar" to be inaccurate in its depiction as compared to the biblical description. How many other depictions exist that are extra-biblical? Plenty. Could they also be defined as heretical? Sure.

The depiction of Jesus in JCS is probably closer to the truth than the depiction in the bible as far as I'm concerned. I'm an atheist but I also like JCS musically, and also think it's interesting perspective on the Jesus myth, which really humanizes the Jesus character. It's only heretical if you take the mumbo-jumo you read in the bible literally. Try that on for heretical.

 Without deity, you can't ultimately account for the existence of nature without having supportless, and thus, irrational faith for whatever reason you believe. To argue for his Messiahship, I think I should start at the foundation.
