America's Best Christian Takes On America's Worst* Christians

Posted by on Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 9:25 AM

* Evangelical Christians insist that Mormons are not real Christians and fake Christians are the worst kind of Christians, aren't they?

Much as I have always loved Dear Betty, the Botox effect is so distracting that I could hardly pay attention to her comedy. I spent 4 minutes and 18 seconds thinking "Is this an intentional Christine Baranski imitation?"

Surely not what the lady intended?

I love her. Really, I think it's love. She's awesome.

With temple garments like this green apron, I don't see how anyone could consider us "fake" Christians.

No church is more Christian that Mormons. I'm not Mormon anymore but I'm telling you, Jesus is a big deal in Utah.

She makes you stop and re-evauluate yourself, and there is value to that (at least to me).

Well now - since the Mormons now support gay rights laws - ref: Salt lake City two weeks ago - well now,

What aout all those other churches that do not go that far?

Like Catholic? Like Southern Baptist? Like Jehovah people? Like Evangelicals?

Ah, it is only the Mormons? Hummmm - old news, they changed positions on a lot of our LGBT stuff. Hard to believe, but, true.

It is less Mormons now than many others ...except marriage.

The video is really stupid, but, funny in a droll way. Course they left out a who bunch of fantasy stuff which permeates all organized religion - ie. eating the Flesh of Jesus ...

The only good Mormon is the really hot and super hung Mormon missionary guy that fucked me in collge. Yes, he was a very good man. And he plowed the word of god right into me!!

I really like her videos. Especially the one on "traditional marriage." I think I will always be grateful to have been born here to parents who don't believe I am my biological father's property to sell to some dude who will pay a high enough dowry for my hand in marriage. Praise my free-thinking, strong-willed, progressive mother! Yay mom!

@10, It was 15 years ago...

But if it makes you feel better he's probably married with 14 kids has lost his hair and put on 50 pounds.

Scientology-lite was probably my favorite part :)

My favorite is the Jesus at 3:27. He looks ready to cut a bitch.

OMFG, thanks Dan, I've never heard of this woman before, and I just watched about half her videos. Fucking hilarious. She made a believer out of me!

It is worth noting that a lot of Mormon doctrine is misrepresented in this video. But who cares right? Mormons are bad so it doesn't matter if what we say about them is accurate or not.

I know two Mormons and an ex-Mormon who regularly went to protest outside Scientology's Seattle location. I thought it was a bit funny that it drew their ire. Good thing to do, though.
