They consider it a sin because they find hugging to be erotic. Yet more evidence for the claim that those who wish to regulate the personal lives of others are by and large perverts themselves.

"Jesus doesn't approve of people showing affection for other human beings through tactile contact. But guns... he likes guns."

Of course, some of you folks may be wondering 'how do I perform a Christian Side-Hug, exactly?' We asked 2008 Republican Presidential Nominee and Senior Senator from the state of Arizona, John McCain to give us a demonstration:

Nothing erotic there.

i'm speechless.

no wait i'm not. i was familiar with principle of not touching members of the opposite sex for reasons of "purity" and such. it's been practiced by many religions over thousands of years for many reasons. but what is this "side hug" compromise? i guess these guys are really "moderates" in a way.

now i'm speechless again, just thinking about the horrendous poor taste of that performance.

I guess is where aural sex came from.

I can't make out the line about a democratic majority, but references to being a "rough rider" and the gun shots and police sirens are enough to be really perplexed by what they are trying to accomplish.

The same conference had a few other videos by the same guys. In another video they pretend to be russian and threaten to use a michetti tochop off the hands of anyone commiting a PDA.

Actually it is.. Call: "democrat shift in the congress." Response: "revolt!"

I'm a rough rider filled up with christ's love

telling

Jesus never hugged anybody like that

I guess this answers WWJD? I wonder how they knew the answer.

OMG I've been hug-raped all my life and I didn't even notice.

Heh. Someone in the BoingBoing thread called American fundies "Talibornagains".

If God exists and he sees this he'll probably commit suicide.

"Thou hath done many atrocious things in mine name, but nay, this is totally fucking nuts. Goodbye, cruel world!"

sure this isn 't satire and supposed to be funny??? sort of making fun?? somehow doesn't seem serious to me.... and why do they all die at the end?

OK, so let's I accept that what you say is true, that Christ did not hug (how you found that out is a mystery). And let's say I accept your logic that we are therefore not to hug. Then where does it say that Christ fist bumped?

so is the Star Wars Imperial Theme being played in the background supposed to imply that front hugs are from the dark side?

I have a lot of trouble understanding why "front huggin" is evil, but mock gun violence is a-okay.

Oh well, that's a standard problem.

I have to say though, it's a catchy tune. I think the song's refrain will be my new catch phrase for whenever I see a small group of people doing something that seems, to me, to be incredibly stupid.

Furry cows moo and decompress.

I nice NSFW response
