This is an amazingly effective video. It shows how religious people are reasonable, well adjusted individuals with lots to offer the world. It shows just how sane religious people are.
There are three things that stuck out to me. Well, there were more things that stuck out, but let’s work with three.
- He’s reading from a scroll made from Santa-style Christmas Crayons. Red and green are colors that represent the pagan beliefs of Christmas, don’t they?
- He bends over and asks
JesusSanta for any last words, and says, “You don’t have anything to say because you don’t exist.” Wow. What does he say to the baby Jesus when he asks him the same thing? How does killing one icon/idol while keeping an icon/idol on his chest acceptable? Is it just a little ironic that he asks in the first place? - He says that they are a peaceful organization just after shooting 15 rounds or more into a stuffed Santa. Guns = Peace? Can someone remind me how this equals peace? How non-violence is peaceful when guns and murdering a stuffed animal are involved?
Name just three things you wonder about after watching this video. Just three. I don’t want you to overwhelm yourselves.
I bet this video is taken down before the end of the week.
O.K.
Here’s three…
1. Are Christians capable of humour or parody without completely ruining the joke? I used to have a pastor who did this too. He would tell a joke he heard to open a sermon and then completely dissect it so as to ruin the joke forever. Not that I thought the premise was funny to begin with, but really?
2. Is there some significance to stepping out from the range ten feet away to inflict a point blank shot to Santa?
3. Calling yourselves peaceful and God-loving and then taking a shirt that is meant to spell out “coexist”, crossing out every other religious symbol, then quoting a biblical curse on non-believers really sends mixed messages. I thought the original shirt carried a message that just about any reasonable person could rally behind, I guess I was wrong.
I’ve got more…
