ah, childhood indoctrination.
i can still remember as a young kid my parents feeling guilt-ridden enough once every couple of months to force us to go to church. i remember being herded downstairs for "junior church," where we would watch shit like this. i never saw this particular gentleman, but i do remember watching cartoons where kids would go back in time into the bible stories. one of them was called "super book," and i remember it being anime. i also remember thinking, even at that young age, "are you people fucking serious!?"
my folks never tried the indoctrination shit at home and, like i said, we only went to church when the residual guilt piled up, so i never took junior church seriously. i spent most of the lessons being yelled at for talking to my cousin.
OH FUCK, i just remembered the most hilarious thing a church teacher ever said to me!
i remember we had a lesson on gideon in the book of judges and i actually thought it was a really interesting story, so after we finished reading the verses for the lesson i kept reading. after about 5 minutes i was aware that the teacher was asking me a question. i looked up and said "huh?" and the teacher said, "chris! stop reading the bible and listen to me!"
i remember thinking that was seriously fucked up.
"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

ah, here's super book:
i guess that looks pretty fuckin' cool for a fundy brainwashing cartoon. if anybody can make bible story time fun, the japanese can.

Did anyone else notice the sexual undertones of them singing a song about obedience when the guy grabs the bird by the back of the head and the bird opens its mouth as if to say "Oh yes. This is what I want."?
Fucking hypocrites.

My first thought was that it was not so much the message that was disturbing but that polo-shirted prig's unnatural relationship with the puppet.
Nice message for kids. Don't think. Believe.

Agreed. You would think anyone who spends as much time accusing homosexuals of predatory behavior would be more on guard than that. Pretty sick.

THE FUCK?
Sad thing is, i can't even tell if its a joke or not.
No, I assure you this is real.
The anti-intellectualism is very strong in the evangelical places in America.
The short time I went to a protestant school I was informed all catholics were going to hell, dancing was a sin, watching movies was a sin, and if anyone caught you doing either of the last two you were expelled from the school. One of the most important subjects of school was bible verses. In later studies, which I didn't continue my education there after two years of it, there were classes on how to convert people. Welcome to a "private school".
Also, the statue of David had a photoshopped diaper on it in my art book. Amid all the other things most people consider normal that live there.
Oh yes, and before I went to that school I went to a catholic one. So it was great being informed my first year at the new school that all my old friends were going to hell.
Theism is why we can't have nice things.
awww, man! at least catholic schoolgirls are hot. nothin' worse than a frigid protestant schoolgirl with jesus bangs, no make-up, and a long denim skirt.
i dated a former catholic schoolgirl in college. she assured me that everything said about them is true, but that her school, sacred heart, was the most virtuous catholic girls' school in louisville.
...because the girls at all the other schools went all the way, while they only gave blowjobs.
btw, why the switch? did your parents go from catholic to protestant?

that looks kind of like a shittier (though graphically superior) version of the old NES game "the immortal." and that was a pretty shitty game to begin with.

I'm pretty sure they didn't understand the difference between the two. Also, catholic school does something to people.
I don't know if it is the uniform or what, but everyone that went to my catholic school I know is a sexual deviant. There is honestly a lot of truth in that.
Maybe it is everything becoming so ritualized, you need things to break up monotony. I mean, you get used to saying the lords prayer several times a day in unison, and it is like everything is designed to make people feel both part of a group and isolated at the same time

This cracked me up. I have decided to snicker at that idea for the rest of this day.
Do these morons not understand that the "dirt" is entirely in their minds?

Fuck, I used to love that show. I didn't even know it was about the bible and my parents didn't seem to mind me and my sisters watching it (my dad's a deist and mom a LaVeyan satanist)
Thank you for posting the video...
I have to admit that the whole thing about obeying, God and Jesus was painful to watch,
and he obviously forgot to mention the Spanish Inquisition... AGAIN.
Here is Rowan Atkinson delivering what I can only describe as the "real thing".. especially if you are Catholic..

OMG I <3 ZIM!!!
Dude... the obey video dude had a beautiful voice. Such a waste using it to sing about being God's puppets... omg is that why there's a bird puppet in the vid? O.o
I'm pretty sure the first song my mum ever taught me was "Jesus Loves Me". I was... two??? Yes, even before I was in kindergarten Jesus was a part of my life.
I wasn't sure because I didn't see this fella:
Quite possibly my favorite cartoon character ever. Though Archer is pretty hilarious too.

Hey now, don't be raggin on DBZ, that show was the shit to almost any male around the age of 12. lol
But SWAT Cats was better. Anyone else see that show?

Yes. And Pirates of Dark Water, the first season of Gargoyles, Rocko's Modern Life, Eek the Cat, Freakazoid, Animaniacs, and a host of many other things. :3

What was DBZ? And the Venture Bros. is currently running on Adult Swim and the first two or three seasons are available on DVD.
And amen to Rocko, Eek, and the Animaniacs. Those were hysterically weird and ballsy for kids cartoons.

lol I loved watching all shows mentioned above including Dinosaurs and The Tick. <3 Some consider it unnatural for a 23 year old woman like me to be fascinated by animation, mais regarde!! many others like em too.

Nope. It's hot. I love me a woman that doesn't take things so seriously that they can't enjoy a little silliness. Besides animation is a great art form.

Dragon Ball Z. It was an anime show, where the dudes would get super muscly, their hair would stand up and become bright yellow when they powered up.
I grew up without cable or satellite until I was 11 or 12, so I missed some of those shows, because I could only see them at grandma's.
My Website About Roller Coaster Design
Agreed. Things like Avatar should make new cinematic movies incredible, too.
Anyone watch FX's new show, Archer? It is outrageously funny.
My Website About Roller Coaster Design
Oh. I can't get into most of those because the plots are too convoluted and not in a good way like Memento or other mind benders. The only one I ever really liked was Ninja Scroll and I was always good fucked up when I watched it.
