No, it’s not the Manga Bible; no, it’s not Let’s Bible! (which should totally get an OVA, by the way). It’s a remake of the film Jesus, in anime form, and it’s apparently seriously getting made. And in it, Jesus kills a lot of innocent piggies by making them fall off a cliff. Mean Jesus!
(I actually got this from a Google alert, but you should check out Rob’s writeup, who also doesn’t remember the piggie slaughter in the bible, as well as Japanator’s GodLen, who also suggests that Jesus needs bigger eyes.)

Wait… Kamina wasn’t Jesus then?
All kidding aside, I’m just waiting for the sentai show starring Jesus, Allah, Visnu/Siva/Kali (pick your favorite), Buddha, and, say, Ahura Mazda as the Mighty Morphin’ Religion Rangers.

Mark 5:1-20 has the story on the pigs. It’s more familiar for the phrase “I am Legion.”
9And He was asking [the demoniac], “What is your name?” And he said to Him, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”
10And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country.
11Now there was a large herd of swine feeding nearby on the mountain.
12The demons implored Him, saying, “Send us into the swine so that we may enter them.”
13Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea.

That’s great. I will have to watch it, if I can find it.
