Larry/Deity 01: Baptism Of Fire

[arsenelupin123]

Excellent script :).

[pantherpiss7000]

LMAO! good stuff.

[Discern4]

haha "baptize you with the Holy Spirit AND fire" (Matt 2:11)

I never caught that one!

[daemonowner]

perhaps you should have a give to god donation drive...

[RebeccaMichael7]

throw this guy under da bus LOL

[katertots87]

I love how every good idea is Lucy's. =)

[NorwayRichard]

Excellent job imitating the look of Frost Nixon interviews. I own them on DVD and have watched them all. The clipboard, clothes, and set design are all spot on! Nice. :)

Only change I would make is to lower the projectioner sound effects slightly. But this advice is coming from a web designer, so what do I know? He he.

[jrtanne]

so this is what you were talking about with the SD 4:1:1 right ? still looks good

[auriciangelescu]

Lucy "has a lot of experience with fire"! lol!

[molfluon]

None they came from the post Roman era.

[Tobacc0]

Bida bing bida bang - got him on THAT one...

[MWcrazyhorse]

how much word twisting do you think you can come up with to not make Islam look like a barbaric relic from a war mongering tribe of the bronze age?

[misterdeity]

Would I need to twist words?

[MWcrazyhorse]

lol. no I was refering to muffin8or. we've been having a little discussion there.

[RuskePerson]

Notice that he said "...to NOT make islam look like a..."

[muffin8or]

FFS. Stop taking verses out of context. That can be done with any text. I'm not gonna spend time arguing to someone who won't see my point of view, or anyone else's.

[MWcrazyhorse]

LoL. same old excuse. What context would you put theese words in to make them not sound like someone wants to go on a killing spree and is incouraging everyone to come along with him?! For "Allah" *chop* *chop*. If I were a "god" I really would have a problem with people killing in my name and surely I wouldn't advise them to do so.

[firedolphin]

Lol

[jamierourketen]

imagine these guys doing this about the muslim religion,they would shit out of taking mohameds name in vain!

[muffin8or]

I, as a muslim, wouldn't really mind. So... ya, bring it on. (And btw, there is a difference between satire and calling someone a terrorist)

[MWcrazyhorse]

but mohammed used terror to enforce Islam. not more or less than any other warlord in history. so what do you want him to be called?

[muffin8or]

Well, your first statement must be disputed first. (if i answered the 2nd i would admit he was.) To be honest, I don't think he used terror to enforce Islam. If you look at it, Islam wasn't spread by the sword. However, you, as an atheist, would not agree. So i think we may have to agree to disagree.

[MWcrazyhorse]

well, we have the qur'an itsself. surely you will not disagree with that. it describes very well how Islam was spread. have you read it?

[muffin8or]

Do elaborate on the specifics of your point...

[MWcrazyhorse]

it started peacefully in Mecca but once it had achieved power it spread by the sword. Muhammed gave the choice: accept Islam or die. Theese tales themselves are well written in the qur'an. furthermore the qur'an states that wisdom/ truth of the qur'an is to be viewed chronological were it contradicts itsself, while the later is to replace the earlier teachings. The first half of the qur'an is peaceful towards others wile the second part is about accepting it or dieing. Kufars are to be killed.

[muffin8or]

1. Your comment is very disjointed - it is hard to understand what you are saying.

2. Please quote from the Qura'an rather than stating the gist of what you are getting at.

3. Once, it had power, the Muslim empire was seized by what some Muslims believe to be proper Muslims, and others (like me) do not.

[MWcrazyhorse]

just read the bottom comment first.

[MWcrazyhorse]

for refference

/watch?v=NLvRt5gYYPc

Kill the christians and Jews wherever you find them.

(Qur'an sura 9:5)

Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given...and do not embrace the true Faith, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued.

(Qur'an 9:29)

[muffin8or]

common misquote. you should have read on. here is the rest of it. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. And if anyone of the idolaters seeketh thy protection (O Muhammad), then protect him so that he may hear the Word of Allah, and afterward convey him to his place of safety. That is because they are a folk who know not.

[MWcrazyhorse]

LOL. I love you. but if they turn to Islam then you are cool and dont chop their heads off.

you admit Islam seeks world dominance and spreads by the sword. thank you. I have made my point. case closed.

[muffin8or]

Hah! What a twist of words. If they don't turn you offer peace (with a tax, like any other state on the planet). If they refuse peace, that means that they are offensive. So yah, if someone is offensive then you defend yourself. Don't twist words.

[MWcrazyhorse]

Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. (Sura 9:122)

make war on the leaders of unbelief... (Sura 9:12)

Fight against such as those to whom the Scriptures were given [Jews and Christians]...until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued. (Surah 9:27-)

Slay them wherever you find them...Idolatry is worse than carnage...Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme. (Surah 2:190-)

[MWcrazyhorse]

Believers, take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. (Surah 5:51)

Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God's religion shall reign supreme. (Surah 8:36-)

[kwesi216]

christians vs jews vs muslims all fight for who has the better imaginary friend

[goodvibrato]

muffin8or, you said that if infidels don't turn you offer peace with a tax, just like any other state on the planet. However, that's not what the Quran says. The Quran says you must both convert AND pay the tax. Anyway, you call denying the tax an offensive gesture toward YOU?! LOL. I guess our options (depending on the muslim) are convert, die, or pay a tax. If you were faced with those options what would you do? I'm guessing there is a double standard involved somewhere.

[muffin8or]

I won't argue with you. It is or not and. And i would pay the tax because it includes protection.

[goodvibrato]

Protection from the people demanding the tax? Sounds a lot like extortion and the fact that you equate it with mercy shows how confused you are. And the fact that you said you'd gladly be extorted for protection is laughable.

[muffin8or]

assuming are we? It's protection within the city from attackers. And you don't have to fight if you pay the tax...

[goodvibrato]

You sound a lot like the Persian in the 300 who gets kicked down the well.

[muffin8or]

who was that then? Infact dont answer. I don't wanna argue...

[goodvibrato]

He was a messenger from King Xerxes of Persia to King Leonidas of Sparta. He's got this pay-us-and-you'll-be-spared attitude just like you. As in all good movies though, the good guys win.

[MWcrazyhorse]

if they do not convert or pay a tribute. read it up. can't blame the terrorist they are only doing what the qur'an tells them to do. contrary to the common misconception they are good muslims and have understood the true meaning of the qur'an. evidently we need not argue they are of course just as immoral as their beliefs. this is very sad. I wished Islam were a religion of peace but it is not.

[muffin8or]

4. Your second comment is disgraceful. You say that that the terrorist is only following the Qura'an. Then you say people conceive them to be good Muslims (untrue) And btw the word contrary marks the beginning of a subordinate clause which is followed or preceded by a main clause. Yours just has that one clause. And then you say we do not need to argue about it. Wtf? Of course we do. Stop making outlandish statements and back it up with quotes and whatnot. Then we can have a real discussion.

[MWcrazyhorse]

at least read the source you are trying to defend. but likely you are just talking to me as is appropriate by a good muslim to talk to a kuffar according to the Qur'an.

[muffin8or]

and 9 29 says fight? does that mean physically, or can it mean verbally?

[styx123456]

Praise Mr. Deity! Praise him.

Yes, you.

Or else (I'll tell on you).

[TheMourningKitchen]

Oh Lord, you are funny!

[HappyApostate]

1st degree, 2nd degree---hilarious!!! you're a punny man!

[johnlcallaway]

Yet another great video. Thanks for putting up videos that don't condemn religion, but at least make people think about it.

[lmiddleman]

Lovin' the youtube ad for Christian Online College in corner.

[CorgisAreForever]

love it, but small recommendation.

tone down the old footage effect

[edgela]

um, this is a parody of Frost/Nixon the movie.

[CorgisAreForever]

which i feel toned down the old footage effect more, both in picture and sound

[agsharma]

awesome!!!!

[Cketzalcoatl]

Oh man, that is hilarious, good job!

[Katalyzt]

Hahaha! ★★★★★

[JAFO649]

Yeah, I'm going to have to subscribe. This stuff is just too good to lose. Some people give to their church and get a tax receipt; if I give directly to Mr. Deity does that count or are you a non-prophet organization?

[misterdeity]

Unfortunately not. This is not an actual religion. This is just comedy.

[MisterSartor]

If only it were "just" comedy . . .

[nattymcg]

Yet you bring up valid points in each of your episodes about certain sects of religion. Kind of eye opening if you look at all of the different contexts.

[JAFO649]

Wow, when you say it like that it makes it sound like comedy isn't as important as religion. Everyone laughs, but not everyone believes. Comedy is non-denominational.

[misterdeity]

Good point! Comedy might be the most important thing now that I think of it. Perhaps all comedians should be given 501c3 status. We're doing some serious charity work here making people smile and laugh.

[KempsGrl]

so true, so true

[mjstillwater57]

"Non-prophet". Heh.

[CousinoMacul]

lol

[jorgesasuke]

hahahah thats was awesome as always mr. diety never lets me down

[DudeFromHaverhill]

glad to see the interviews are starting!

[marniespeaks]

that makes me wonder, where do lawyers come from?

[Chesterton7]

nice job

[ccaptorchen]

hahaha...great show!

[mestiarcanus]

Nice. I was waiting for a comment on drowning deaths that followed the conversion to water...

[Cyclonebg]

Yeah, me too, I guess they decided it was too predictable...

[plottotakethemdown]

yeah

[wubbadubdub]

haha awesome

[LTDcunuk]

love diety
