LOL @ the little girl wearing the “Brunettes actually have more fun” shirt. At a Christian wrestling match.
Dear God, why did you make religion so funny? Amen.
Why do Christians always have to take things and insert Jesus into them? It just results in a terrible version of whatever they are trying to imitate.
Cos Jeebus is in EVERYTHING! He’s ALWAYS watching you to make sure you behave….
I’d like a restraining order against Jesus, plz.
Not surprised by the southern accent…
Vaughn talks compares his physical pain to that of Jesus on the cross. I can’t help but wonder if the two are equivalent, after all, the physical affects of crucifixion is well understood. Sure in the end Vaughn isn’t dead, isn’t suffering from dehydration, hunger (although the minorities that the holocaust was inflicted on suffered far more from starvation than any one crucified ever has), or the constant aching pain of having a nail through his hands.
But Jesus, assuming was real and was crucified on a cross (the Romans were most likely to use a tree or a simple vertical pole than a cross), had to experience it for one stretch of several days. Jesus didn’t repeatedly have his bones broken, unless we count the metacarpals and metatarsals, didn’t have repeated back injuries. I suppose the chiropractor doesn’t help his case, but that would just add to the list of injuries. The two may be different, but it seems, because of the repetition that Vaughn goes through in injuries, that his suffering would be quite comparable to that of Jesus, at least Jesus got a 1 time deal with his.
I do have one nice thing to say, it does seem like they are at least actually fighting each other, unlike the staged shows such as WWC.
Their “Jesus freak” shorts reminded me of that song “jesus freaks” by, I think, DC Talk. With such repressed lyrics as “I don’t care if they label me a jesus freak.” Yeah, it’s easy not to care when you’re the majority, huh?
I thought Jesus was a pacifist.
Not always, tea. They are portraying the “merchant kicking” and the “figtree buster” version of him.
But if Jesus was anything more than a human then what was the big deal about ‘suffering’ and ‘dying’?
What’s a couple of hours of human pain for an eternal being??
What’s the problem with ‘dying’ if you get resurrected a couple of hours later and are back on the heavenly couch soon after?
I really don’t get it … and I don’t get it how people can fall for such a charade (or incoherent concept). Although judging from the people at the wrestling event …
If only this clip was 2 decade before. I would renounce my faith in the church right there and then.
And he gets to bleach his hair, wear bright colors and hug sweaty men without being called gay.
lol, good points!
I’m not surprised he visits a chiropractor.
Obviously they stole the idea from the South Park episode wherein Jesus fought Satan (and all the townspeople could bet on the match). BTW, Jesus got his ass kicked until he summoned his heavenly powers…an idea he stole from Popeye and his spinach. There’s nothing new under the sun.
Just another step on the way to making religions look totally stupid. Apart from the fact that the religions cannot agree on the “inerrant” word of god why would you teach that it’s OK to hit people?
Hopefully these are not “True Christians” – I can never tell.
I don’t believe it is this one but I remember reading a report from a christian wrestling show years ago on http://www.deathvalleydriver.com where the guy they had gimmicked as jesus got pinned by satan after taking a spear and a crucifix bomb. the promoter, who also wrestled, came out afterwords and saved jesus from a beatdown by satan and his stable.
wish i could find that link….it was quite amusing.
EVERYTHING xtians do and believe in are/were/is stolen/recycled/remixed from other cultures & beliefs. There is NOTHING original about this religion-thankfully I was immersed in it for only 6yrs (evangelist, prophetic-u name it) instead of having been indoctrinated the majority of my life-and yet, that is 6 fucking years I’ll NEVER get back…sigh
And he sees a chiropractor. Perfect. But what he really needs for that nagging shoulder pain is the Magic Magnetic Copper Jesus Bracelet.
I will never understand the concept of “Jesus suffered, thus I should also suffer,” especially since that often comes from the same people who claim Jesus suffered so that we don’t have to.
