As our esteemed host has basically said, I wouldn’t even consider listening to the pseudo-Christianity being spouted by these poor excuses for excrement until and unless they first do a “Dprophet Unchained” segment featuring Mohammed. They could use many of the factually correct teachings [meaning no exaggeration or inventiveness needed] from the Q’uran and Sharia law, such as:

..beheading of infidels
..punishment of women who have been raped
..cutting off limbs (hands) of thieves
..child rape (marriage to girls under 13 years of age)

But as we all know, since followers of the Prophet (pbuh*) are a bit more physical in their response to what they consider blasphemy/mockery [even if what is being stated is completely accurate and factual, and is taken directly from the Q'uran] there’s no way that we will ever, ever see SNL do a skit that features Allah or Mohammed. Because those who consider themselves bold and “speaking truth to power” for attacking Christianity are, in fact, chickens..t and “ducking for cover” because they wouldn’t dare attack a target that will, literally, shoot back at them.

If you pick on and insult someone you know will not retaliate but avoid those who will retaliate with extra vigour, what does that make you? So a Piss Christ or Dung Madonna in the name of avant garde and courageous cutting edge Artistic expression but never a Mohammed cartoon!

What all these idiots have in common, besides an irrational hatred (and ignorance) of honest Christianity, is a near-total incapacity to detect humour. ‘Djesus Uncrossed’ is a funny idea, however tasteless and blasphemous, and however bad the execution may have been (I haven’t watched it; not interested), for the same reason that ‘Gandhi II’ from Weird Al Yankovic’s UHF was a funny idea. It’s a parody of Hollywood’s stupid tendency to turn anything into a mindless, arse-kicking, shoot-’em-up action-adventure flick, no matter how far-fetched. Only a fool would take ‘Gandhi II’ as a commentary on Indian politics; only a fool would take ‘Djesus Uncrossed’ —

(It occurs to me that I can leave that last sentence just as it is.)

I saw a video of the SNL skit.

It reminded me of when we were about 15 years old and thought lighting farts was really “cool.”

Unfortunately, our secular culture has devolved to a level of “fart-lighters.”

Marantha!

We all tend to make up our own version of the Second Person of the Trinity. Each one of those versions distort parts of the true picture of who that Second Person is according to our heart’s desires. That is why we should pray that God will help us to take delight in him so that he can give us our heart’s desires (Psalm 37:4

Jesus is easily mocked because people want (desire) a God they do not have to be afraid of. One of the problems the Jews had with Jesus is that “good Messiahs do not get crucified!” They still have that problem. I suspect that some Evangelicals (Dispensationalism, anyone?) have distorted what is in the Apocalyptic writings all out of shape. I think there will be surprises all around at the Second Coming. I am just hoping I make the grade (I pray daily for that forgiveness and mercy).

So mock on, SNL and smug professor types. Jesus will not be out for vengeance when he returns: He will be out for justice and that is going to surprise us all.

But yeah, it’s really easy to mock and deride a meek and gentle Jesus who wouldn’t hurt a flea. But I notice all those “brave and daring” writers will not do the same to Mohammed. Somehow, he seems to real to be trifled with.

Good to see that moral cowardice is alive and well in the Entertainment Biz. I would hate to think that the Leopard had changed his spots.

Don Janousek gets my nomination for the pithiest social critique I have read in a long time.

Blessings to you, Brother Don!

They’re half right.

The Jesus who will return (soon if certain Bible passages are applicable) will be unchained, accompanied by an innumerable number of angels, ready to judge justly and punish evildoers.

His reign will be forever and ever, without end.

The pathetic little theologies and apologetics of Williams, Shori, Robinson and Crew defending and including diverse sexual perversions will wither and melt like wax before Jesus Unchained and Unchallenged.

These comments from feminized Christians like David Hensen have forgotten that we belong to the “Church Militant”. He denies the Christ revealed in the book of Revelation. Pacifists removed “Onward Christian Soldiers” from the Mennonite Brethren hymnal. It’s time for the Church of Christ to “Man Up”.

I would contend that “Djesus Uncrossed” is how the Marxist Liberation Theologians would want Him to act.

So many liberals think Christians believe in the parody God presented by Richard Dawkins. These are sad examples. SNL does satire, I’ve been told. Best not to take them too seriously.

David Henson is, naturally, a postulant for the Episcopal priesthood.

Oh, if they would only read the Bible before accusing people of “misinterpreting”:
Rev19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

He doesn’t need SNL’s silly names for him, He already has names.

Isn’t Mohammed himself believed to have taken boys for sexual trysts? SNL could do a spoof of a Mohammed/John Geoghan meeting in Hell — comparing notes on who had more boys than who. Tasteless, but that’s what they love doing.

I’ve read the Gospels. Guys like these seem to read only versions that have been cleaned up for them. What about “not peace, but a sword?” Jesus died an ugly and painful torture death for my sins and all others’. Why would we think that Justice will necessarily be all nice-nice?

The whole “flag draped cross/bible triumphalistic, nationalistic” bit is their way of donning rainbow cope w/ matching pointy hat and crooked stick to promulgate their Bulls(hit) and sling (glitterbomb?) anathemas.

What’s the saying? TEo and Co. make irony redundant.

Allen:
“He will be out for justice”
Dear GOD, I hope not!…or we’ll all meet in hell.

God has provided for it, however, in Our Lord Jesus Christ, the perfect union of God and Man.

Ps. 85.10 -

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

These people dislike equally the Bible and the Constitution. So they blithely mix them up. Just because people with a good moral compass are likely to respect both, These folks figure they can safely mock both.

“It’s a parody of Hollywood’s stupid tendency to turn anything into a mindless, arse-kicking, shoot-’em-up action-adventure flick, no matter how far-fetched.”

Mad TV did it better (in my opinion) with a sketch titled “The Greatest Action Story Ever Told” in which Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator goes back in time to save Jesus, despite Jesus’ insistence that he is SUPPOSED to die for the sins of mankind:

The difference between the Mad TV sketch and the SNL sketch as described above is that Jesus is actually portrayed in a manner pretty much consistent with the Gospels in the Mad TV sketch; it is not he but the Terminator who is the the object of the joke.

Elaine S. —

Note that I specifically did not say whether the sketch was done well or badly. This being SNL, I assume it was done badly. I am mildly surprised to find that Mad TV did better with the idea, since I have never seen anything from Mad TV that gave me so much as a sour grin or a feeble chuckle.
