Can anyone possibly be that thick? it makes me so angry the way the manipulate informations and turn reality upside down. I just keep thinking… i find those movies embarassing more then funny.

Looks like I may have to make another pilgrimage. I've even seen the TV show on occasion; Kirk and the moustache guy went up to people on the strip in Vegas and asked them to prove evolution. "Sure, let me pull out the development chart and full copy of the fossil record that I have on-hand just in case something like this happens." My favorite part of all this Ten Commandment reimagining that they do is that super-perfect Jesus ends up violating several of them, and therefore (according to their mixed-up doctrine) is probably burning in Hell. I mean, if any temptation is a violation of the adultery Commandment, then didn't Jesus spend 40 days in the desert with Satan, securing his place in the underworld? If anger is the same as murder, then isn't shouting at people and breaking stuff in a temple enough to get you thrown into the lake of fire? I want to see Cameron answer *that* one.

Unless of course the missionary is preying on weakness. The only people I've known to convert have had seriously awful things happen to them first. Speaking of funny conversation-attempts, I was once at a park and two young, female Christians came up to talk to me about their church. As usual with these folk, they were sticking exclusively to their script. And as I usually do, I broke in with something shocking just to break up the routine. I said, "Wait a second, you're saying premarital sex is wrong? Well...ok, but what about oral sex? What could possible be wrong with that?" This stumped them for a while, and they actually started to giggle. They tried to change the subject so I said I would make them a deal. I would come to their church if they could give me one good reason why oral sex before marriage was prohibited. They were speechless because oral sex is was not a part of their script! Oy vey...

And, indeed, it was. So glad to hear you haven't killed anyone. Poor goat. ;P And yes, the videos were certainly spewing-drink-from-the-nose funny. ~ Amanda Mojoey,

I'm a little worse on the Ten Commandments thingy - all but number 10 are pretty much done deals. I really regret number 9 - not proud of that one at all. Number 8 &#38; 7 was because of a pretty girl - I was young and the poor goat did not feel a thing I swear. And, like you, number 4 only came from premarital fun - I’ve been a good husband these past 26 years. But the videos made diet coke spew from my nostrils. ohmygosh… so funny.

I actually had very similar thoughts... especially when he is fondly examining his freshly peeled banana. Perhaps he gets frisky with the banana in the uncut version of the video. ;) - Amanda MomSquared,

The banana part is almost pornographic. I expect Ray to start doing impure things with it at any minute. This video cracks me up. The banana part is almost pornographic.
