oh so weird he's talking about squirting in the face and perfect grip with a phallic shaped fruit....I won't desperately trying not to make an immature joke.
Brooker hit the nail on the head, the kiwi is going on about how the banana was created specificaly for humans taking the angle of us being the important creature while in reality its no big deal at all, apes simply evolved to the style of the banaa for consumption with fingers and a hand developed to obtain the fruit as easily as possible
Haha, just went to the next video, and the top comment is "Never mind that the banana was a domesticated fruit that started out as practically inedible."
So, yeah, I'm going to stand by my scoring of the situation.
Christian here. From what I know about bananas, and that isn't very much, I think I recall reading that the seeds in wild bananas are so large that the fruit is practically inedible to humans.
The minuscule seeds in the bananas you buy in supermarkets today are a result of humans breeding them to be that way. So Mr. Proselytize is saying that god made the banana the perfect shape for a human hand and mouth, but fuck you, it's full of hard indigestible lumps.
I don't have a problem with Bibleman per say. But I don't like the strawman and sterotype enemys. Just like sterotype and strawman enemys made me stop watching NCIS and the like.
Bibleman's Shield of Faith is such a horrible message to give to kids. Saying faith is a shield you can put up whenever people try to have an objective discussion with you...
The feather story is the real bullshit. All these ignorant religous types think angels have feathered wings, which is an image based not on the Bible but on myths including the Greek Hermes and the Roman Cupid.
See, it's things like Bibleman that gives religion a bad name. Faiths didn't always breed ignorance and hate. If God is dead, I think Bibleman killed Him
the thing about angels is that their biblical description is fucking horrifying. i know cherubum are supposed to be winged babies but theyre described as flaming wheels covered in eyes! if anyone ever saw an angel, they'd shit themselves inside out!!
if anyone thinks god exists, then sorry, but i think less of you. in fact, i think of you like a retarded person. like a really stupid child with an imaginary friend that they're convinced actually exists and actually tells them what to do.
just kidding, i'm not sorry. you're fucking idiots. if i could physically shit on you and your stupid delusions, i would.
My friend used to have this little booklet that we would laugh over on the bus, it was called "The Atheist Test" and it was just a booklet that "proved the existence of God" via the banana. They also mentioned the fact that you can tell it's ripeness from the outside.
Another point about bananas: The bananas that are sold in shops for human consumption have been bred to be like that. Wild bananas are filled with hard pebble-like seeds which make them almost impossible to consume comfortably.
Why does the girl have long hair? The woman had short hair in all the photos and in the present but for some reason in the reinactment she has really long hair.
Well I cant see any other factual problem with the recreation however :)
10:13 "....to be eaten by the monkey he thinks we didn't evolve from." FWIW, the theory of evolution does NOT say humans evolved from monkeys, but that monkeys, apes and humans share a common ancestor.
Anyway, thanks *floeee* for posting these. Heck of a funny show.
And Jesus's arse, it makes me fucking angry seeing that angel programme. I love how it's apparently a miracle and proof of god's existence that a child is born with an illness for no morally justifiable reason, is refused treatment because it was born into an insane family, and then gets better as some sick people do. And of course she fucking got better, the ones who didn't and eventually died at a tragically young age generally don't get invited into those shows years later.
This show doesn't seem to be quite as shit as I first thought it was, it's actually quite funny. Maybe I was in a bad mood the first time.
Still, it's not as good as everything else Charlie's done. I'd rather just have a longer series of Screenwipe or Newswipe, with David Mitchell doing the odd rant.
Love David's rant on angels, but frighteningly, you *can* pick out something like 9 types of angel in the Bible. It's all a fun read, but is quite dangerous when people think it's all literally true.
@SaBoTeUr2001 Given that it is a 2000-year-old book of stories written over millenia by barely-civilized goat herders that has been edited, mistranslated, re-edited, deliberately manipulated for political gain, mistranslated again, ad nauseam, I'd be shocked if there was anything you couldn't "pick out" of the Bible in one way or another. It's a 2000-page Rorschach test.
@SaBoTeUr2001 Yeah but the broader point is that once you start debating what KIND of angel it was, the question of whether there was an angel at all get's swept aside. Mitchell is saying there's no such thing as ANY kind of angel in the first place. It's true he's overstating his point but it generally stands.
@AFLoneWolf Sera'd be her nickname, although I imagine most people will called her "Sarah", which I'm fine with. I just think Seraphim sounds so beautiful. And I don't think it's difficult to pronounce, so she should be fine. I just think people will assume she came from a religious background when I plan on raising her Atheist. (not that she has to be an Atheist, obviously, but that I'm not going to instill any religion in my children) Also, this conversation is terribly relevant. lol
@SaBoTeUr2001 That show is about how the angels are these beautiful divine beings, but in the bible, they're sort of frightening. Seeing as the seraphim, the highest order of angels, were creatures that had eyes all over their bodies, six wings, and flaming swords.
@Grapesour I got that feeling too! That's what made me think that it wasn't a real show at first. The characters seemed rather lame and/or gay. It was like watching something from a sketch show. I don't know how to really take the show, I don't see how anyone can take it seriously to be honest. (but I sadly assume that there are enough people out there who do.)
