Like I said, I used to think it was interesting but now I just think it's kind of heavy-handed.
Yeah I watched it last night. I also noticed. A few other things too, like calling God "OldMan" and and when his mom dies he sings a song about the virgin Mary.

I've read a lot of bible, but now that I think of it, it was OG Bible. Not much Jesus stuff and I don't really recognize half the stuff you listed

First thing I noticed though was him cutting off the parking meter heads. That would be like the story of the money changers.

Edit: I just found this page. http://www.textweek.com/movies/coolluke.htm
