Evangelism - Craigslist Style!

[cyberpup1000]

BORING



[drbarco]

Hey there H.A. answers to your questions maybe because your are still young you have yet to learn these truths " Different strokes for different folks " " What works for one, won't work for another " Then you have the scripture that says " God will not be mocked, whatever a man sows, that he shall also reap" From me to you I would have to say When you come to know the truth , the truth will set you free :) Also Don't be hating Later girl

[atheistrocker100]

"science rocks" lol omg get a life.

[SuperImready]

I had no idea those obnoxious fuckers were on Craiglist now, I only knew they were all over my tv on Sunday morning. Good shtick by the way, Ashley,you sound just like those guys but you're a lot cuter!

[DrSheldonCooper]

what do you want to say in this video?

[bleech211]

*about our eternal destiny*

note to self, proof read BEFORE posting

[bleech211]

wow... that's just embarrassing. As a Christian, i feel obligated to apologize for that, but where do you start???

As far as if its effective or not... well, It completely trivializes a very sobering belief about our the eternal destiny. really not cool. maybe well meaning, but not cool at all.

[clay6709]

This style of preaching\evangelism has no resonance with me what -so- ever. I find it a bit off putting and CREEPY. But at least you don't have to look at the evangelist preacher spouting this gibberish who is invariably a weirdo of the first order (with a

really strange haircut)

[Derisa22]

Are you and the author making fun of Christianity

[jedi0424]

con't--Intelligent design is not predicated on a loving God or even a Christian construction....only the unmoved mover (cf. Aristotle)......Even if you believe iin the big bang theory, the statistical probability of the correct combination of matter and energy to produce such a structured system. I'd be interested in hearing you post a response :)

[DAOzz83]

I'm not healthyaddict, but nothing is easier to respond to, my friend.

1: We don't really know how unlikely it is. The universal constants may be linked. We don't know.

2: Even if matter and energy as we know them are a trillion to one, what of it? Given the Big Bang, some universe had to result. It could have been anything, but it happened to be us. No intention is needed.

[jedi0424]

LOL.....I'm a theist/Christian and even training to become a priest....but that shit is just funny :)

Also, I have been watching your videos and like them....you are very intelligent--not to mention very cute--and I'm guessing from what I have seen and your references to Carl Segan/science you are a Science major.........

As an atheist/scientist (not that the two are inextricably linked of course)....what do you think of the argument of intelligent design?

[hybeerian]

wow...not sure what to say??? that was really on craigs' list? I know... that probably was that preacher from Colorado who got busted with DRUGS & having a gay lover!!! (not that there is anything wrong with that) unless you PREACH against those things & tell other people they are going to HELL for that!! Just my thoughts.....was I thinking out loud again? damn it joey I hate when that happens!!!

[boswellnimrod]

that was probably a example of sloppy, unsophisticated evangelism. the better stuff would play of people's fears/needs and draw them in with a "cure". Sending such a message in electronic media would keep down costs in reaching the few percent that would respond to such an enticement.

atheism (as a movement) would do well to consider what messages/media work and consider imitation where effective.

[voorman1]

If you took the time to use "science" to understand the probability of (1) human cell being created by chance, you would quickly come to the realize that your atheism is merely a severe case of narcissism.

[betacorpse]

You're one hell-of-a-nerd baby.

[JLinnst]

I am a Christian. And I thought it was a great impersonation. Almost too good. By the middle of this video, I was asking myself, where do I send my check?

So, yeah. It was quite effective.

BTW, there is a fake evangelist named Tilton who started out his 'ministry' this way. He started as a joke and people started to listen! And he cashed in big time. The guy is a real low life. But when people send him money, what can you do??

So what am I saying? Don't do imitation like this

[KingHeathen]

*stands jaw open*

This is REALLY posted?

Seriously?

It wasn't even that good....and that's by evangelist's standards!

[furrypurrylove]

Apparently I was too late - the Craigslist post was deleted by the author. :o(

[CineRam]

Got your attention, didn't it? Hey, when are you gonna do the phone calls vid?

[bamasun1]

Like I see ex mormon 'ministries'. And ex mormons seem obsessed with the falsity of mormonism, that I think that maybe deep down they still think it is truth! It seems the same with MOST atheists. Ok, God don't exist. Bla bla bla. Fine! Just live your life now and invest your emotions into the good things you DO believe, instead of rebelling against the THING you don't believe in.

[adolthitler]

= instead of rebelling against the THING you don't believe in. =

We don't rebel against the thing we don't believe in. You have very clouded judgement. We fight against the boobs that fight to impose childish superstitions onto other people. The best way to stop you from ever doing that is to cleanse you of your childish superstition. Otherwise we have to watch you all day and all night. Its the people we fight, not your figment of your imagination.

[bamasun1]

I'm a Christian who doesn't believe in Allah, but I don't dedicate my LIFE to proving Islam is false. I just live what I believe is true. Why can't atheists do the same? You guys are seriously lame. Yeah, ok you don't believe God exists. Big deal. Why not just live your life believing what you believe and spend MOST of your time ignoring the thing you think doesn't exist. You spend so much time arguing that God don't exist, that I wonder if you think God really does exist.

[rotcafarg]

We just want you to leave us alone. Believe what you want, but do it IN PRIVATE. Get your religion out of our faces. Get it out of our schools, off our money, out of the pledge. Stop telling people who they can marry because your invisible friend hates gay people. Stop imposing your beliefs on the rest of us!! The problem is you can't: it's fundamental to your belief that you hold the Absolute Truth and need to make us all bend our knee to it.

[RexFordVII]

bamasun, you call yourself a Christian, but you don't make the effort to spread the Word?

It's your moral obligation as a Christian to prove Islam false and save its millions of followers from eternal hellfire, isn't it?

These people are worshiping a false God, an affront to the lord, and you just let them? How could you?

[adolthitler]

= You spend so much time arguing that God don't exist, that I wonder if you think God really does exist. =

Well thats just genius. If we did believe in god we would argue for god. We are not like you christians who hold beliefs and then live a different life. We argue against your god, because we think its a disgrace that you do believe in something so obviously false.

[SocialAnathema]

I don't believe gods, or devils, angels. demons, fairies, spirits, imps, trolls, unicorns, etc exist.BUT I DO BELIEVE AND INFACT KNOW, that institutions and individuals dedicated to such things do exist.Commitment to problems related to a fantasy realm(believing really doesn't make it real, sorry) draws away from what is actually going on in the real world. This is truly hazardous.The result is either a gnostic like apathy towards the world or as we se too often, toxic hatred. That does EXIST.

[OccamsRazors]

If you are deciding your destiny, from something you find on craigslist, then you have serious issues.

[Sav3TheWorld]

lol what kind of fucked up wedding is that? 'Come to my wedding or I'll fucking kill you. I don't want to, but I will.'

[320iguy]

HAHAHA deleted by author LMFAO

[HonestDiscussioner]

I must say I feel as thought that could be incredibly helpful. Just think of the material we'd all have for our videos!

[mikeporterinmd]

Well, if you have trouble finding a job, I think you could do voice overs for christian commercials. Sure, you made a couple of mistakes, but that was just one take!

[pete275]

this god guy sounds like an asshole

[userjosh9874]

LOL :)

[smashbeans]

that was great!!!!!!!!

[BuuZeroC]

hmm, seems the author removed their listing lol

[GriffinPilgrim]

Anyone else feel like showing up anyway and crashing the party?

[Wingers413]

I will if the reception is a free bar!

[bla34112]

its about visibility..

if you go talk to a person.. thats one person, if you put it on the internet, youll reach thousands.

also its easier, costs less time and you dont have to worry about getting hammered by the other person

[Leadman1989]

it's been deleted :D

i tried to contact the groom but i got no answer :(

[Dreki8]

lol, I tired to look it up as well...looks like the groom got cold feet, or the bride ran away...

[Dusty341]

Well, Christians aren't going to recruit at HQ. No, Christians go to the places where the most depraved, ignorant, fuckfaces congregate.

[theeyeisblind]

it sound like an informercial

[GoblinXXX]

BUT WAIT! There's more!

[x71isnwor]

i guess it is their way of letting the heathen fornicators on craigslist know the word of god.

[AbdultheImpailler]

I literally ROFL'd, what an advert

thanks for the laugh!

[AsheIsTheRaven]

Your southern accent is sexy ;)

[longhornman99001]

Why was there a little southern accent there? Were you insinuating something?

[healthyaddict]

Nope - just trying to mock televangelists. Hun - I used to live in the south. ^_^

[longhornman99001]

ZOMGOSH!!!! You called me "Hun!!!!"

[Toledosteal]

Quick capture is terrible. Good thing you rock to make up for it.

[lowkeysatanist]

I find that people who evangelize are really just trying to convince themselves.

[FatherofAlexis]

hilarious!

[seanThree16]

I'll go, but only if there is free booze too...and coke.

[Danthaman1971]

What's Craigslist?...

[SunnyStorm21]

There are billboards on the highway that say JESUS IS THE ANSWER. Someone spray painted over the J-E-S so now it reads US IS THE ANSWER. Vandalism isn't cool, but it made me smile. :)

[Mr0bombastic]

free food?

-I'm their.

[LeoWolfComedy]

The insanity is amazing, but what troubles me is how many people believe this nonsense and are willing to make laws and base public policy on it.

If you believe that pretending to eat the flesh and drink the blood of a jewish zombie will make you live forever, you are mentally ill.

Just because a lot of people are mentally ill doesn't make it good. A lot of people had the Plague!

Also All Christians are Traitors to the USA (see my vids)

Good work!  5 stars

[RavenBlaze]

Will this marriage be recognized by the state? Or is it more like a gay marriage?

How about if I made reservations at one time and later denounced it, is my reservation still valid?

Um yeah and posting something like this on craigs list is worse than screamer-man of BGSU.

[EternalAlert]

Well the evangilist doesn't really take into account whether or not something is an effective form of evangilizing. From your objective point-of-view you can say craigslist is not a very effective medium for evangilism, but for the evangilist God is working through them. And they are certainly not going to question whether God's ideas are quality decisions.

[Atrocitas6]

It was deleted. pffftlolol

[celtbard]

yeah, I can't read that stuff without laughing either.

[glifencible]

"must believe to see" LOL

[ricardas83]

You are crazy... I will better keep my ass as far as I can from you.

[freethinker3161]

wow, i knew it was my fault, oh well hell will be a blast, can you imagine how fun hell would be with all of us you tube atheist down their. ill bring the marshmallows. HA you bring the heresy bars, and hey someones got to bring the graham crackers. take that one i have to get some sticks for the marshmallows. i love smores.

[GreginND]

Do we have to eat the groom and drink his blood?

[GreginND]

Jesus wants to marry me? I knew he was gay.

[GreginND]

They're looking for people to go to heaven? Like, now? What is this, a suicide cult?

[Ozzie623]

I agree. They certainly lose all credibility when they are sending invites on Craigs List. Next thing you know they'll be on Adult friend finder looking to hook up with like minded Jesus freaks. Anyways great video, it made me laugh so hard. Thanks.

[Paxmax]

XD ooh geez, the christians are going nuttier by the day. At this rate they they'll be all nougat in 100 years.

(Bwahhhaa not bad I must post this as a quote of the day on my site)

[Paxmax]

(- the extra "they".... DOH!)

[Ryansarcade9]

I thought this was creepy. Can you imagine anyone wanting to go to a free evangelism dinner?

[jsclary]

You should crash this with some friends. Put the fear of ... something other than god... in the poor delusional host. ;P

[nontheistdavid]

she is the hottest atheist on youtube

[gothatfunk]

lol, CONVERTED

[jimrbsn]

Gotta love the claigslist!

You can find almost anything on there!

[FrederickCross]

I always loved how consistent they are:

[...]HE WILL TAKE YOU AS YOU ARE WITHOUT CONDITIONS[...]

[...]BY IGNORING OR DISREGARDING THIS INVITATION GOD IS HIGHLY UPSET WITH YOU[...]

Good old Christians, how I love you ;)

[knifesson]

Oh god, the best bell laugh I've had in a long time! XD
