Just a thought and I do not want to want to become blaspehmous but :
we do know Time Lords meddle in other cultures pasts and presents and other worlds timelines.
We know that the Time Lord planet has no PRIME driective that they sensibly have in Star Trek.
We know that Dr Who can regenerate and be reborn again (like Jesus did)
We know that Dr Who always gets caught by yhr authorities on foreign planets when he is meddling in their affairs (Jesus was nabbed by Roman administors)
We know that future technology and medicines can seem like miracle cures to backwards civilisations (Giving someone a tablet so they can "RESSURECT themselves - Lazarus) MAYBE EVEN LAZARUS WAS ANOTHER TIME AGENT REgenreating????
We know that Dr Who preaches love and abidance more than war and justice (Jesus asked everyone to turn the other cheek instead of fighting back - this annoyed the Jewish folk who wanted the Romans out of their land...)
We know that primitive folks worship alien visitors - this has happened in at least 15 Dr Who stories.
We know that Dr Who has a real name that he refuses to name to people. Maybe in his first adventure after flofting rthe Tardis he used a false name Jesus Christ when on Earth in Biblical times? He has also used flase names in several other adventures - Magister, John Smith, Thorncroft etc

All lin all....
Could Christinality be based on Dr Who.?

Brilliant stuff Dervish - you've knocked it out of the park this time!
And in answer to your question...I doubt that Christianity is based on Dr Who. If anything religion tends to be less believable.
still, it would be fun
Yeah, interesting isn't it. Some historical/mythic characters you can pretty much do what you want with and others you can't touch. Don't see anyone standing up to defend say, Henry the 8th, Julius Caesar and Cleopatra from the liberties taken with their stories.?
At least with they provably existed!
Hint hint RTD, Christmas Special 2008
God squad would probably whinge about it though.
Imagine all the sensitive religious nutters getting up in arms about that! How I would laugh.
Another take on this question, could Jesus have been the first incarnation of 'The One' from 'The Matrix' mythos
If he was able to bend the Universe to his will, performing miracles, walking on water, etc could he have become the first human to unplug himself, and re-enter the matrix?
Maybe the Romans, and Pharisees were merely early agents, sent in to ensure he makes his way ultimately to 'The Architect'
I should leave this train of thought, as I have been busy defending people's religious beliefs in the GD forum...:)
EDIT: LOL By sheer coincidence, 'The Greatest Story ever Told' is on TV right now, and John the Baptist has just declared that Jesus is 'The One'
Okay, first and foremost, we're not short on Jesus imagery in the series. The most blatant is Paul McGann in his one on-screen outing as the Doctor. From the shroud after the Regeneration to the crown of thorns at the end, McGann's Doctor is definitely doing his bit to ape Jesus. You can even take the "half-human on my mother's side" thing to be a nod to JC, if you like. And, of course, the modern series loves pushing the Doctor as the "lonely God" and giving him Tinkerbell-like messianistic abilities and scenes.
It's just when you look at it practically that it becomes unlikely, if you assume that any Bible stories have any truth to them whatsoever. For a start, the First Doctor doesn't fit in to the mythology at all. Jesus would have been early 30s when he was crucified, and there's no way the First Doctor looked near that when he started travelling. It'd have to be one of the "younger" incarnations. McGann does fit rather well, again, looking like the stereotypical image of Jesus (beard aside).
More to the point, though, is the content of what Jesus said. There is no getting away from the fact that Jesus' main point that he came back to over and over again is that he was the son of God. And the Doctor wouldn't say that. Or, at least, I can't picture any circumstances under which he would. Setting someone else up to play that role? Sure, why not? But actually doing it himself? Can't see it being his style.
And, of course, the reasoning that Jesus could be a Time Lord and the Regeneration could be the resurrection is rather missing one salient point - Jesus looked the same when he was resurrected as he did when he died. The Doctor wouldn't.
I do find it very hard to believe that he wasn't around at the time, though.
It ism't quite the Doctor's style but he could easily have been a timelord. Perhaps the Master as he did so want to take over - what better way to do it than saying he was the Son Of God!
Afterall the very ethos of Doctor Who is science. That there is no myth or magic or gods. There is a scientific reason behind everything (albeit often dubious and ill explained). That if you believe the bible in a literal sense then Doctor Who is heresy of the highest order anyway.
I agree with you. I'm not religious (I used to be but that's a whole different story
Such as the episode with Satan in it
That episode was "the pits".
Actualyr it was good.
I mean the show has already suggested that the being we on Earth call the Anti-Christ is an alien force. Were you offended by that? I mean it's not all that different from suggesting Christ is an alien..is it?
