ATHEIST!!!

Also love this one:

Jesus and the Interpreter. A modern-day christian helps Jesus get started. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mLOUWl-L-s&feature=channel_page

re: jesus the interpreter: thanks brainlego, funny and pertinent stuff. or impertinent, whatever.

the second clip sounds more like a commercial for judaism than a commercial for atheism. everyone knows that almost all of jesus's iconic remarks are direct lifts from jewish tradition at the time. this is not to say that the rejection of many of these principles by modern christians (and, indeed, jews) is not based in practicality.

the exhortation to invite the poor and destitute to your parties, for instance. i used to take this one really seriously, and it was a factor in my eventual divorce. i think the final straw for my wife was when a junkie (an orthodox jewish black-hat-and-coat junkie) fell asleep after dinner and peed on our couch. and the yelling! :)

so i decided to become poor and destitute myself. that way, i was always covered at parties.

This is really weird. It seems like a whole lot longer than 8 years. I can't believe how much younger Jon Stewart looked, too. Bush took his toll on everyone....
