Scary looking? Nothing that a haircut and makeup remover can't fix......

I find this far more scary - a comment that just went up on youtube.

Jesus is son of God, he is indeed God (John 1:1), and whether you like it or not, he is supernatural. Do not take it for granted that God is merciful. Just because you can blaspheme today and nothing happens to you, it is because God is merciful and slow to anger

video now over 400.000 youtube hits...

We might feel safe and sound within the intellectual confines of FRDB - but the harsh reality of illogical ideas is all around us once we step outside our own frontdoor...Whether we admire the likes of Tim Minchin or we think that his sort of approach is not for us - his in your face satire does get people talking. Which can only be a good thing for the JC 'problem'....

Only comment I can agree with is changing his looks. JC is not a problem to me.

Jesus was a total cock sucker. If he was a real god half of his disciples would be women. In reality he just liked guys.

Take a look at the Greek gods at the time, half men half women. Only a homo would have 12 guys following him around.

If this is humor, it ain't funny.

Each to his own.....

The very fact that the video was pulled prior to the TV show does indicate that JC is still a very big 'problem' for very many people......

After 2 days on youtube the video is presently at over 511.000 hits......methinks that might just indicate the extent of the JC 'problem' and the interest in it....

A Christian 'thank you' to Tim Minchin for his song WoodyAllenJesus.....


Quote:
The weird stuff is important! The stuff that doesn’t make sense needs to be brought to light and wrestled with. A Jesus that conforms entirely within a scientific rationalist mind set is not the real Jesus. Because he is so much more than that. By ignoring the weird stuff, we are selling Jesus short.

It’s Christmas Eve as I write this. Tonight and tomorrow I’m going to be sharing the message of the incarnation with people. That God himself came into this world as a baby to save us from the punishment we deserve. By the world’s standards, this is fantastical lunacy. Yet I believe it to be 100% true. I’m not afraid of the weird stuff.

We should thank Tim Minchin for this song. Thank him for carefully putting together this song in a way that is not aggressive or dismissive. He’s not on our team. He could have been mean and nasty. Instead he’s given us a gift. Not only did I laugh heartily out loud, he’s kept Jesus in discussion this Christmas. Because the worst thing the media could do to us this Christmas is not ridicule us. The worst thing they could do is not attack us. No, the worst thing they could do would be to ignore us.

Praise be to Jesus!

Praise be to Magic Woody Allen Zombie Superman Komodo Dragon Telepathic Vampire Quantum Hovercraft Jesus!

Maybe Tim Minchin's visited BC&H? Maybe the Komodo Dragon is a code name for the Loch Ness Monster?
