"A Sabbatical?" or "My Anti-Testimony"
I first posted this "testimony" to the web on July 27, 2001. If you too have found Christianity specifically, or religion generally, to be less than satisfying for any reason, please consider posting your own "testimony" to this site by clicking here , or message me by clicking here. I t is invariably a shock to Evangelical Christians to come across someone who has turned his or her back on the “faith was once delivered unto the saints.” Most believers will quickly dismiss an ex-Christian by piously pointing out that anyone who turns away from Christ was never a real believer. Or, as an insider might say it, “They were never born again.” There is Biblical support for the assertion. 1 John 2:19, which addressed the problem of First Century apostates, states that: “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us....
I wonder what the purpose of this video is - Humor? Awareness raising?
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to use the rape of children as humor - I'm not saying it can't be done, but, in my opinion, Louie CK misses the humor mark on this one. He hits the shock value, which is a little humorous. David Spade might be able to pull off this topic as humor a little better. It's a tough one.
If he did it for awareness raising - props for that.
Wow, it's a wonder You tube
ReplyDeleteallowed that one. I guess humor comes in different forms. The Pope would poop his holy pants if he saw this.
Maybe he should see it and evaluate his whole concept of the church. There is obvious problems within the Catholic religion for something like this to appear. As for me, I thought it was hillarious and maybe a sign of things to come?

ReplyDeleteThis can't be humor!
It is a genuine interview isn't it?
I believe this to be the absolute truth!!!!
[/sarcasm]
Fucking (pun intended) hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThis Video is closer to the truth than it seems. Belief in God for Roman Catholics is an optional extra and as a bedraggled refugee from the RC Church I know about the "dirty old priests".
ReplyDeleteHaha... A bit full on, but funny.
ReplyDeleteGaiman couldn't have written it better. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteHere's what I learned about Christianity.
ReplyDeleteCatholic = Fuck the underaged boys.
Protestant = Fuck the underaged girls.
LOL Sailerfraud, LOL
ReplyDeleteCatholics and Protestants have many differences, but their sexual preference for a certain underaged gender sure must play a big factor.
ReplyDeleteI hope that no one ever attempts to post a degrading video about Islam at You Tube, because that would be bigoted. Molesting children is so much worse than blowing their bodies apart on a school bus right after yelling, "Allah is great!"
ReplyDeleteSo please, if you're reading this, don't hurt the feelings of Muslims, because we're non-white, from poor countries, and we practice a religion of peace. We'll only kill you if you offend us, or hurt our feelings. Stick to degrading those Catholics. They're so much more evil than our freedom fighters.
Dear Mohammed,I like muslims and christians, Its just your stupid religions I can't stand.You know good and well, if you had been raised by american parents, you yourself would be a christian, and for christians, if they had been raised by muslim parents they would themselves be muslims. That is, only until you realized all religions is just a myth. Peace
ReplyDeleteHi Mohammed,
ReplyDeleteDo I detect a bitter, angry little Christian out there?
You're right: Islam sucks too.
There, better?
Whatever their sexual preferences between Catholics, Protestants, non-Christians, etc...
ReplyDeleteAll religions and denominations have one thing in common. They target and scam the elderly to build their finances.
This is sick. You will answer some day for this. I feel sorry for you.
ReplyDeleteA little OTT, perhaps, but it seems to have touched a nerve!
ReplyDeleteHey Disney,

It appears you live in the world of fears... you need to visit the other worlds :-)

Disney, tell your imaginary friend to bring it on, right here and right now.
ReplyDeleteyou people will all burn in hell, may god have mercy on you. But if you don't repent when you burn remember that you are only reaping ecxatly what you sowed.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay, I'll be sure to point and laugh when you're burning in Jahannam (Islam's equivalent to Hell). After all, you would be reaping 'ecxatly' what you sowed.
ReplyDelete(Consider this: if you aren't convinced by the threat of punishment in Islam's hell, why should we be convinced by the threat of your God's hell?)
LOL! I like your parody. Great fundie impersonation. You've got the threat of hell-fire, poor grammar and fractured punctuation down pat in just two (or is it supposed to be three?) sentences. You even threw in a misspelling. Tip: Next time, be sure to type "God" with a capital G like the real fundies do.
ReplyDeleteBTW, who are you really?
But if you don't repent when you burn...
ReplyDeleteWell, what if we do repent? Will we get out of hell? Because if the answer is no, there isn't much of an incentive, is there?
Seetlakgosi, International Troll of Mystery: "you people will all burn in hell, may god have mercy on you."
ReplyDeleteWhoever taught you that rubbish should be locked up for child abuse. Your beliefs, whatever they may be, appear to have made you into an extremely unpleasant person. Wherever did you get the idea that we would want to become anything like *you*?
Again, where is comment? How long to post and censor it? I use no profanity, maybe thats what i missed>
ReplyDeleteFUCK ALL WORLD RELIGIONS AND WORLD GOVERNMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pablo - When you post a comment without being registered, it takes a while before it will show up.
ReplyDeletePlease register and continue to post, I like the way you think. I was a christian for over 40 years. My family has roots in Pentecost, Baptist and Mormonism. I was an ordained minister for 5 years and spent most of my adult life in ministry of one kind or another.
To answer your question, "Is there no end to human folly, to human ignorance and fear?"..................Not until we end Religion in all of its forms. As Christopher Hitchens so aptly puts it, "Religion poisons everything!"
Thanks for your insights and Welcome to Ex-Christian.Net
