Atheists taking the Bible out of context

This has to be the funniest video I've seen in a long time:

Reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman has a christian band.

Cartman (singing): I want to get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus. I want to feel his salvation all over my face.

It's not true that some of the dialogue is NSFW. All of the dialogue is NSFW.



My favorite parts are where he loses character and cracks up at his own parody.

And I guess he hasn't read the apocryphal texts where the Holy Spirit is described as female, either.

Hehe, although what "context" are we taking things out of? Sarcastic comments through the ages are in the context of the Bible being supposedly produced by a flawless and perfectly good being.

It also has contractions in it, in a manger somewhere.

"the Holy Spirit is described as female,"

Knee, and accept the blessing of the Holy strap-on!

(Actually I think that's going to be the artifact that Indiana Jones goes after in the 4th movie)

Hehe, I believed it (in spite of "da Bible") until about halfway thru with the "Holy Spirit deep inside of you throbbing..."

Who the hell is Brett King?
