Conned again! If only Esau it coming...

[klevdav]

Everyone knows that even if u did so called verbally give up the thought of being borne first for a cup of soup, that the fact remains u were born first. This is madness.

[klevdav]

First off u can't literaly sell a birthright. Spiritually they suppose to have the same god

[HebaruSan]

Didn't Jacob's first Esau-robbing stunt also alter which bloodline had claim to the Covenant with God? I never understood how that could count, as if Yahweh's favored destiny was Isaac's possession to pass on as he pleased, like any other piece of property in his estate, with Yahweh a passive bystander with respect to his own actions.

[BlasphemyChannel]

Like your videos. Going to have to mirror one if these on here if you don't mind too much.

[CocoMac877]

when u see hw bad the 'chosen' ones were, kinda makes u think that the flood werent such a bad thing:p

[RadarKat73080]

Jesus, religious people are gulliable!

[BlackFlames222]

Kal is unique in the terms of being able to discuss the idiocy of religion and also be incredably entertaining and humorous. he certainly has a great talent for comedy

[kalsolarUK]

thats very kind of you to say! hope to have a new vid up sometime this week.

[BlackFlames222]

great. cant wait to see it:)

hope all is well with u

[mattie690]

Ha ha..."if you fell into a barrel of tits you would come out sucking your own thumb"

Why have I not heard that one before! HAHA *chuckling to self*

[pologeo17]

funny lol

[HappyApostate]

The holey babble according to Kalsolar makes a lot more sense than the original. To appreciate the innate morality of biblical based religion all I really need is two sources; your superbly entertaining videos and the brick testament. By the way, inquiring minds want to know --when are you going to make your own rebuttal to Cameron's banana argument? It cries out for your special take on this particular lunacy.

[kalsolarUK]

lol, Ray Comfort's banana argument is so comical and downright dumb that it almost defies parody! Along with the peanut butter argument and the crocoduck argument.

[julzabro]

BRAVO!!!! Sign me up as a fan!!! Excellent points!

[kalsolarUK]

thanks for that, glad to be of service!

[Panman38]

Great vid.

The thing that bugged me when I first read that story was that Esau must be one hairy guy if Jacob had to dress in goat skin to imitate him. I think he may be a warewolf.

[paulbottomley42]

At the risk of seriously filling your inbox with what is getting tantamount to spam, you're brilliant! I laughed like a drain :D

[kalsolarUK]

hey, thanks for your comments - much appreciated. Of course in the unlikely event that these stories are true I realise that my biblical parodying will see me burning in a lake of fire at some point. Ouch...and triple ouch. lol.

[MobyDicksWife]

Brilliant as always Kalsolar! You give me hope that SOME people still have a critical facility and can use it. I am currently working with a born-again Christian who doesn't read anything but pro-bible works, does not watch the news, and was home schooled by her Christian parents. She says things like "Oh, you don't believe in that DNA stuff do you?" She also believes (and says) that fossils are just God's way of testing us; that we should believe the Bible more than our own experience.

[kalsolarUK]

lol, good luck with that one...if all fails you can always pray for her. Oh..hang on..I just spotted a flaw in that idea.

[SubjectOfInterest]

"That's twice now!!!"

Excelent.

[ToddAllenGates2]

Great storytelling - 5 stars!

This whole section always left me a bit baffled--the only point "God" seems to be making is "For some you, hey, life's a bitch! Suck it up!"

I suppose this is why the Calvinists love this story. And they can use it in combination with Romans 9 as extra support to back their predestinist philosophy: "Rebekah's children had one and the same father ... Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, Jacob [God] loved, but Esau [God] hated").

[logicman121]

Brilliant!!!

[otakujhp]

Epic stuff man. Well done. :)

[AzmodanKijur]

Wow, Esau got screwed royally. The moral is.............never..........­..trust ANYONE. EVER. Not even your family because they WILL fuck you over.

Great vid, Kalsolar.

[Greggs41]

absolutely brilliant,  thanks kalsolar

[kalsolarUK]

you're most welcome..and thanks! I'm sure I'll be fodder for the lake of fire someday... but I hope to make a few more videos before then.

[Largo64]

You may eventually be fodder, but right now you're a mother of a storyteller!

[gamshobny]

Bit rough around the edges... but otherwise very good, as always.

[RICKYMDOGG]

Man you are awesome, great story telling....reminds me a little of john cleese / the office style humour.

[kalsolarUK]

thanks, I get so much amusement out of disecting some of the sillier bible stories that I think its only fair to pass it on from time to time.

[spookysaurus]

Wow! KalsolarUK in arthouse monochrome! You can sure tell a story, so it's 5 stars just for effortlessly holding my attention for almost a full ten minutes! You should write all your material down and have it published as a 'new translation'. I bet it'd be a hit. As usual, I find the whole idea that the original story of Esau is taken seriously by so many, a thought that is both funny and scary.

[kalsolarUK]

hmm? That "new translation" idea sounds kinda tempting... just so long as it can be an abridged version too!

[spookysaurus]

Yup, methinks it should be an 'abridged version'. As with your videos, just do the bits that grab you! It's the key to any successful manuscript. That way you'll carry your readers along with you, just as you do with us YT'ers in your vids! Trust me on this; I've been dealing with publishers for over three decades!

[trixapete]

this is a great idea. and very entertaining!

[hairyreasoner]

The Old Testament. Testament to idiotic superstition and silliness. What a bloody joke.

Shit, now I'm saying "bloody." Bugger me.

[battybuddy]

Con me once, shame on you... Con me twice.......... YOU CAN'T GET CONNED AGAIN...

[Largo64]

Hey! Maybe God really DID speak to him! ;^>

[ChilapaOfTheAmazons]

OH. MY. GOD.

The "Holy" Bible is just sick ans disgusting.

[ivarbt]

nice tit-joke! :D

[pornoopel]

very entertaining! thx! :D

[elldazzy]

Ahaha! great comedy as always. Great idea with the bible chapter quotations so that people who do not believe that your ideas are based on actual biblical text, can check for themselves.

[kalsolarUK]

Yes, its good to remind the believers that although I'm often re-imagining or enhancing the conversations between characters for entertainment purposes etc I'm still sticking closely to the actual story and the basics of the dialogue.

[Paxmax]

Hahah awesome!! Where/what is the moral cookie!?!!?

"If you are going to con someone, make sure you get away with it..preferable TWICE"??

Your title "Conned again! If only Esau it coming..." is missing a "saw".

HAhaahaha, you are awesome kalsolaruk

[kalsolarUK]

I deliberately did the title that way..its meant to sound like this" Conned again... if only "He saw" it coming.

It does seem very bizarre that god tends to reward the ungodly. lol.

Thanks for the comments!

[Paxmax]

"I deliberately did the title that way"

*DOH!* ok, that one was on my phonetic ass!

If I only eSAU that coming! The title is twice as clever as I am!

My apologies master! *bows and leaves with shame*

[mikevalla]

Heh, loved it as always Kal.

So, let me get this straight- the Bible says that if I cheat, lie, swindle, and so on... AND get away with it, then that can only be a good thing? I mean, in this story, if you can trick a person into giving you a blessing from God, then doesn't that mean that you've also tricked God him/her/itself (as the blessing is bestowed upon God after all)?

Really makes you wonder just WHAT such a belligerent, yet loving, creature such as God is really up to all day.

[Largo64]

You have discovered the ultimate truth, my son. There is no devil. There need not be one. God himself is the trickster. He's evil enough that a devil would be redundant. And powerless enough not to worry about. After all, if omniscient, he knew of Jacob's lies and trickery, but HAD TO honor the blessing by Isaac, even though it was obtained by deceit. That should have pleased a devil, but not a god - unless they were the same being.

[AtxAxLoss]

Nice. You still kept my attention with the video being a lot longer than usual. You're a good storyteller.

[daveheet]

haha i love you man i wish we could hang out... rofl

[ashboxtoo]

God that can do anything chooses a family and gives them a one shot blessing that gets conned onto the wrong person by a paper mask cartoon-like method of trickery, and there seems nothing can be done about it.

The Bugs Bunny sections of the bible are the best.

[kalsolarUK]

it is indeed a very cartoon - fairytale-like method of being conned. So transparently untrue I blush for those who believe it!

[rednecktrucker1969]

good job, like the animated ones better though. :)

[kalsolarUK]

I like doing the occasional animated one, just to mix things up.. just wish they did'nt take so long to make!

[OccamKant]

Great vid, Kal!

It's interesting how deep the deception runs in those who follow the bible.

Today, hypocrisy is the common thread, but we can see from examples like this that Yaweh was a real bastard and promoted...um...bastardism.

[kalsolarUK]

Yep I quite agree. Yahweh is clearly very primitive in his thinking... interesting to see the "Evolution" of God through his son to become a slightly more palateable character towards the end. (albeit most likely still fictional) lol.

[OccamKant]

"If he fell into a barrel of tits, he'd come out sucking his thumb" - an old phrase? Maybe in england!

That gave me a really good laugh. Thanks!

[sy1234]

That was great..

[SouthernRaisedAtheis]

Keep it up! Great work, great comedy!

[CapnOrdinary]

Brilliant. Sheer awesomeness. Now why the bloody crap was I not subscribed to you already? Oh well, all fixed now.

[kalsolarUK]

most kind of you sir! God knows how I'm going to deal with the book of revelation (when I eventually get there!)..gonna be one trippy ride me thinks.

[BadYahweh]

You're such a fantastic comedian. I haven't read the bible much at all, but I also have a feeling the stories in the bible themselves are nowhere near as interesting as you make them out to be. :)

[ChrisJMoor]

Your right. Its boring crap - no smiting, human sacrifice or mass murder and not a peep of homicidal lunacy from the guy upstairs. Kalsolar just made it about 1000% more interesting.

[kalsolarUK]

Thanks for that! Not all bible stories are as easy to make entertaining, although the ones that are make up for boring ones big styleee.

[CadicusTheDamned]

I bet you are fun to get drunk with.

[kalsolarUK]

I probably talk the same drivel when drunk...just slower. lol.

[farvision]

You are SUCH a good story teller!!

[kalsolarUK]

lol thanks, although the original scribes certainly deserve a healthy portion of the comedy credit.

[farvision]

Perhaps, but I don't find it funny when I read it - somehow you pull out the humor in it. Amazing. One of the few channels (aside from edwardcurrent!) that I watch immediately!

[thatgaybloke]

I'm sure there's a rational explanation as to why being a lying, cheating piece of shit is actually taking the moral high ground. After all, the Bible is the ineffable, infallible word of God.

[kalsolarUK]

rational? I detect a hint of sarcasm in that statement. lol. Heathen!

[MeIoco]

Good thing we get our morals from the bible huh.

[Saukko31]

I got a healthy dose of laugher.

"And the bad news?" Saw that one coming, but still very funny. Haha.

[kalsolarUK]

yes, I guessed some might see that one coming but it amused me enough to keep it in. Thanks for the comment. Nice to know that the bible is still good for the occasional chuckle.

[Saukko31]

You do have talent for story telling.

Yeah, occasional chuckle from sheer absurdity, like: II Kings 2:23-24.

[kalsolarUK]

Yes, the story of elisha and the bears is a wonderful example of the power of god put to very good use. I did actually cover that in one of my videos a few months ago.

[Saukko31]

Somehow I had missed that video, oh well, now I have watched it. Heh.

[EternalFire00]

lol I love the bible.

[krayzewolf]

Except for this one guy on YouTube in about 4000 years, but well ignore him.

HA! HA! Nice.

[kalsolarUK]

well, with such a large following that the man ustairs has, I'm easily ignored. doh! lol.

[Darwinsgift]

I love the way these stories leave you feeling all warm and comforted! (As an atheist that is!)

[kalsolarUK]

lol...you had me worried there, until I got to the bit in brackets.

[CousinoMacul]

Is this a reload?

[CousinoMacul]

Obviously I meant re-upload. ;-(

[kalsolarUK]

yes, I had to re-upload because parts of the audio were slightly out of sync. All sorted now (although it did take about 3 hours to put right! arghhh!)
