At least it didn't spit on them...
2
For God's sake, why on earth would they bring a live camel down the aisle of a packed church?
3
Poor camel, that looked uncomfortable.
4
good camel! goooooood camel!
5
That's not funny. Not for the camel, not for the people.
6
Some people are so fucking stupid.
7
Mr. Smith hoped that later in the service, the parable of the Whore of Babylon would as realistic...
8
That must have been terrifying for everyone involved, including the camel. I can't believe anyone would enjoy watching that.

And that is (one of the reasons) why I hate nativity scenes that feature live animals. Next time someone asks me why we don't do that at our church, I'm going to show them this video (and remind them that for what it costs to rent animals, we can feed a lot of families or buy a lot of books for the elementary school we support instead).

While I won't cop to being actually happy about humans or camel being hurt/scared here, there was something really satisfying about that in a cosmic justice kind of way.
11
This is why you don't rent the bartender's camel.
12
Yes, but is the camel okay?
13
This is why whenever a black friend has his car stolen, I laugh at him because some black guy stole my car once.

"Pastor Chuck Lewis told WPBF 25 News that no spectators were injured. He said the the camel was uninjured as well."

@12 No camels were harmed in this re-enactment of this imaginary event:

The camel's name is Lulubelle, who just tweeted, "I thought I took 2 Tylenol, but it was really 2 of my girlfriend's Vicodin, doh!"
16
What kind of moron drags a live camel inside a church like that? Jeyzuz, christians can be stupid.
17
i went to a service like this once... not only did they have camels but they also paraded horses, an elephant, and a tiger, among other animals, across a stage to a squealing crowd. it was sickening.
19
That church has the sort of money to rent a fucking camel?!?!? People are fucking starving and going without shelter this Christmas and they blew their wad of ill-gotten cash on a camel?

They got what they deserved. HA HA HA HA!!!!
20
Since I see this as absolutely no place for a live camel, I feel this is animal abuse. Poor camel.
21
So, either the choir kept singing despite the incident...

Or this church, while bringing in live animals to make their pageant super special, has recorded music instead of a live choir. Pretty fucked up sense of artistic priorities, if that's the case.
22
PS - I followed the link and saw that this was a rehearsal, not the real show. Is there any chance we can fly Lindy out to cover the real pageant?
23
@7 -- win!
24
It's kind of fucked up to take pleasure in watching a crowd of people and a poor animal get the shit scared out of them and possibly injured just because you don't agree with them theologically.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

And yes, the church should be ashamed of itself as well, yada yada yada...
25
What, in your opinion, is enough payback for the centuries of war, hatred, and homophobia that Islam has fostered?

Ooooops
26
Protestants.....
27
At worst, it's simply some church-goers trying to add a certain angle or perspective to their Christmas-myth related goings on. Trying to make some sort of larger point about Christianity or how people choose to spend their time or money is weak and pathetic.
28
@17 You sure weren't at a production of Aida?
29
What 6 said

"This is not nearly enough payback for the centuries of war, hatred, and homophobia that Christianity has fostered...

BUT OH, BOY! IT'S A START!!"
-------------------

Then raise up a Slog Mob and go lynch and buttfuck all the Christians to death.
31
Was the minister trying to see if that camel could pass through the eye of a needle and then sacrifice a rich man to see if he got into heaven?

A similar but more extravagant version of the show is held every year at the First Baptist Church in Fort Lauderdale.

That show features three camels and several other live animals.
33
Camels don't spit, they barf.

Also camels are the best animal evar

I'm on team camel.

@34: I'll just leave this here.

Please wait...
