I just love the fact that they put aliens into a movie about religion, since, if you do take it as not totally totally separate from the movie itself, it makes

I can't help but think this only slightly misses the point. Brian is in a movie specifically about the son of God, and is saved by a Deus Ex Machina…which, in a movie about God, is of course made into an Alien Ex Machina, which only highlights the film's satirical take on religion; namely, there are things we can't
