So you don't believe in God, well here is how to break it to your parents :)

Now remember people we all need to have a sense of humour, so no offence intended. 

I know some of you will love this video, I know I did; as it is funny and it tackles a few social hang ups that some of us seem to have, plus it also takes a swipe at hypocrites and bigots.

To those of you who have taken offence - Oh well all I can say is, "Lighten up and get over it." 

Brilliant video!


So you are an atheist and was Jesus gay?

Splendid!

Can't argue at all with anything he said. Whoever said that if Christ came back to Earth he would never be a Christian had it dead right.
Michael Miller
Hahaha, there was so much I have to say to disagree with that, but I can only laugh. Lol, and the comment above mine makes absolutely no sense. Kudos to you too.

excellent, chezz:)

I bow to the superior wisdom of one who has lived a whole 17 years on this planet. And your remarks demonstrate the truth of the comment you refer to.
Chezz - C'Tack!
Thanks Rd I am glad you enjoyed it and understood it :)
Chezz - C'Tack!
That is true Snowy. He never was a Christian, he was a Jew, that point aside, I understand perfectly what you are saying.
Chezz - C'Tack!
The comment above yours Michael actually makes sense. I think the point Snowy was making was as Mahatma Gandhi put it so nicely:

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - Mahatma Gandhi

This is the reason I posted the video to get this very point across. In my opinion any Christian who is totally comfortable with their beliefs would not have an issue with this video, but may have actually learnt something from it or accepted that because of the "unChrist" like behaviour of many Christians, it is so easy for an atheist to poke fun at Christians.

By the way I am not an atheist.

Cheers Paikea :)

hey chezz - remember i told you some time back, that in conversation with my mom, i actually said outright that i'm not a Christian (i'd already said i didn't believe there was a god before) - well, i got my TUMS bottles from her today - guess what was accompanying them? - a CD entitled, How To Know God: Knowing God is to Know Yourself - by Deepak Chopra - how's THAT for denial! - YOWSERS! - i watched Richard Dawkins interview this this dweeb and just by a few questions, make him look like a total fuzzy flake (btw, do you know how rich this guy is?) - cause, you know, at 34, according to my mother, i couldn't POSSIBLY know my own mind yet

i should have presented it like the guy above - you know, ma, i like men...And women! - JUST KIDDING! - i'm an athiest - is that better? - oh, it's not? - well, can't help that!

ARRRGGGHHH!
Chezz - C'Tack!
Oh dear - your Mum is a lost cause.

I can't believe she is now resorting to Deepak. I didn't think he was a Christian, I thought he was more "New Age" and a consult to the "STARS" and I don't mean those in the sky :)

The good news is, you got your TUMS and a CD that you can sell on Ebay.
paikea
i know - i can't believe she resorted to Deepak, either - i mean, who am i going to listen to talk about the spirituality of things, Deepak or Carl Sagan - i have a perfectly wonderful book to send her:) - but i'm not going to - my mother really is a lost cause - you know that CC - once they get their hooks on you, it's really painful to pull them out, even if you want to - and she really doesn't want to - and more than that, she really doesn't want to accept that i have my own opinions on things - i'm obviously totally find with my parents believing in god - that's really their business - but, i don't understand why i'm not allowed to have my own beliefs - knowing my mother, she's taking it personally! - i think a lot of parents do when you tell them something like this - not really a giant deal to me, but a HUGE deal to them

and your are right - there is Ebay - actually i think i could get more money selling it on TradeMe.co.nz:) - DVD's here are expensive:) - i think i'll have to watch the damn thing first - ugh - maybe i can tell her something totally general and non-confrontational like "He made a lot of good points..." - *cough, splutter, cough* :)

the things we have to do:)
paikea
no - he's not Christian - now that i looked him up on Wiki some more - he's just a doctor, who "saw the mystical light" - i see what she's trying now - so, i'm not a Christian - BUT, if she can still convince me to believe in my personal inner god - which is somehow really, really important to her - and Deepak is even better because he does some sort of mind-body guruness thing - this is partially about my IBS - she thinks that if i stop believing in god - and the whole spiritual mind-body stuff - that i won't be able to cure myself from my IBS by believing in my own personal inner god - somehow, i'm preventing myself from getting better by not believing in god - ah ha - and if you think for one second that i'm totally imagining things, i am not - my mother is rather devious - unfortunately, i know better than to listen to some wishy-washy New-Agey guru guy who's made LOADS of money peddling his ideas about "knowing god and knowing yourself"

huh...
Chezz - C'Tack!
Ah your mother is good, trying to fix "two birds with one stone".

He has an Indian background too, so I am sure that would have impressed your Mum as well.

You just have to laugh, you really do - I know I am - hysterically funny. You poor thing I really feel for you I do, but I can't help but laugh.

I am imagining you as a poor sheep lost in the wilderness and your shepherd mother trying to save you from yourself and you are actually trotting as fast as you can in the opposite direction to where she is coming from, because you are not lost but just terrified of being found, by the shepherd.

paikea
heh heh - i know, it is funny - it's not like it's totally unexpected, right - i knew as soon as the words came out of my mouth over a month ago that i could expect something totally out of the blue like this:)

and actually, the fact that she sent me Deepak is hysterical, because that was really not the smartest move on her part - i mean, REALLY - HE's gonna convince me?

she really doesn't know me at all...

i'm no sheeple:)
paikea
[this is good]
btw - i'm still cracking up over your sheep/shepherd analogy:)
Chezz - C'Tack!
I am still laughing hysterically too. Well at least if she comes looking for you in NZ there are plenty of sheep to hide behind :)
paikea
i believe, 40 million of them:) - hee hee
Chezz - C'Tack!
Oh she really has got her work cut out for her then, finding one stray sheep amongst 40 million, I wish her luck. But then again are they all white sheep or are there some black sheep? After all you appear to be portrayed as the black sheep in the family, you just may stand out if they are all white sheep :)

Just crawl around on your hands and knees you will be fine.

Baa Baa Baa Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
paikea
heh heh - well, i made myself watch the Deepak DVD this afternoon - i didn't want to be one of those people who made fun of something they know almost nothing about

well, my conclusion is that Deepak has gone off the DeepEnd!

hee hee
