You need to beg for this. Seriously.
Klavan on the Culture: Shut Up, Conservatives!
If you don't agree with the War on Terror, you're "Unpatriotic." Shut up!
This is a witty take on what can now only thinly be thought of as political debate, and I'm relieved to see you're posting this knowing that it's a take that can be used both ways.
*upvote for critiquing unproductive political rhetoric and sparking actual thought.

I'm in and out of the Sift, so I'm just now taking a look at some of the comments on my Dr. Seuss Bible post. I wanted to thank you for your comment (about a month ago, now) mentioning how very unfunny a Crucifixion Machine actually is.
The video definitely has some dark humour.. that I wasn't quite sure how to take myself. (You might have noticed my caption) So I mostly preferred to present the video as-is and let other people decide for themselves how they were going to take it.
I love seeing the different styles and methods people use to retell stories - and yes, that includes sacred texts. Sadly, as you said, some people are too "eager to mock Christianity" to notice the cruelty in what was being presented. While I'm certainly glad a lot of people appreciated the humour in the video, I'm equally glad someone spoke out about the cruelty of it too.
So thanks!

After all the hype and frustration, I thought you might appreciate some Rick Mercer.
