What Would Jesus Buy? - Shopocalypse Song

[awesomejoshum]

Capitalism ,

Racism,

Sexism , plus many more all work to destroy the human spirit.

Buying more things just exploits more people around the world and damages our environment. Rev Billy says nothing about exploitation of other people around the world or nothing about the Environment and all of the animals and plants that are dying because of consumerism.

[paulism1984]

@awesomejoshum so he sucks then? 

[djthereplay]

@awesomejoshum

Rev Billy ALSO doesn`t say anything about how buying things feeds people. To us they are just things, To the person or people who made those things, that's their labor, their job, their means of working to earn a living, their breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Or how Rev. Billy Exploits Christianity to justify systemized blind theft and neglect ultamitly. I am seeing our environment die quicker from an OIL Factory, than ANY FORM of consumerism.

You go Rev. Billy! Spread the truth!

[TheJennifer1962]

Mickey Mouse is the Anti Christ - Pure Genius!

[djthereplay]

@TheJennifer1962

... Because Mickey Mouse is NOT a JOB KILLER, or a Fascist, or a tool of self serving discrimination?

What's the Similarity between Rev. Billy & The Church of Stop Shopping and The Anti Christ Satan The Devil?

...... THEY ALL HAVE NO HEART OR SOUL TO SERVE ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES !!!!!

THEIR ALL SELFISH !!! THEY ARE FASCISTS ON PARADE !!!!

- Dwight

[Antennahat]

Most people here missed the point.

Reverend Billy, I'm with you!

We shall save Christmas!

[roughcookie]

you people are a waste of effort.

[MizzDreameater]

wtf

[garner832]

What a loser..

[Jcolinsol]

@garner832

Yes, you are.

[Boethus]

You can't make this stuff up. The whole spectacle is absurd, and I mean the shopping phenomenon together with this wackiness.

[epiksonik]

The fey "green" revolution's McReaction to the whole problem has been an obvious disaster.

thank god we poorly evolved primates have shorter life spans than our self-absorption would have us believe.....

Believing in anything save chaos, tears, love, and decay is not worth my breath.

[palehorsepalerider]

Halleluiah!!!!Halleluiah!!!!Ha­lleluiah!!!!

[Testibus00]

...and before you get pissed off and start calling me names let me just say I'm a US citizen and a veteran.

[Testibus00]

Sometimes America reminds me of one of those big stupid prefab looking McMansions that people build. It has every light on and music blaring from the windows which are open with the heat on. Kind of like Neverland Ranch but in the middle of a normal working class neighborhood.

[xHAZELRAHx]

@Testibus00 Indeed, but it's important to remember only a very small number of Americans actually live like we're portrayed on tv

[epiksonik]

@Testibus00

sometimes? no, all the time.

[pocahaunted]

He only says Mickey Mouse is the anti-christ, because Disney was the first to direct market to children. Marketing people have a term they really call the "nag factor". They market directly to children(who can't decide what is good for themselves or anyone else yet)so the children will continually whine to their parents until the parents give in. If that isn't evil, I don't know what is.

[bigheadprod14]

Has he been banned from the UK?

[MayChick2008]

this is why people are not christians ...

[bedford99]

Brilliant!

[downtoearthstudios]

i hate jesus,

[djthereplay]

@downtoearthstudios

Don`t hate Jesus, Hate Rev. Billy and The Church of Stop Shopping, and those who even remotly act like them because their so busy only putting money on themselves that they will slam ANY TOY, or ANYTHING made that is made to bring joy to someone's life besides their own. That is Anti - Christ right there. What if God was so selfish to us that he did not decide to give us his best gift, HIS SON JESUS CHRIST to save us from hell? Selfishness is NOT Christianty.

- Dwight

[mooseutoo]

@djthereplay The point is that people seem to think material things are the only things that can bring joy to people. It isn't that we aren't supposed to give, it is that we give the wrong things. We don't give enough love to people, including strangers and especially the impoverished, and we don't emphasis enough the fact that human relationships and experiences can be more joy with less cost (morally and usually financially as well) than items.

[djthereplay]

@mooseutoo

At least material things can stay with you until death once they are bought and have an owner.

Because Material things don`t have to worry about having to go to work, pay the bills, buy food groceries, do chores, etc., but Human Beings do. Human beings cannot be there all of the time to entertain each other, or whatever 24/7, the way material things can.

[igloopenguin22]

Oh my god 1:22

[igloopenguin22]

Mickey Mouse is not the f***in' anti christ this is F***ing retarded

[ThisCanadian]

GO FILL ANOTHER LANDFILL with your American crap made by peasants in off-shore workcamps.

CAN YOU SAY, '"SAIPAN SLAVERY" allows 'Made in America' garment tagging'?

[igloopenguin22]

I resent your statements ThisCanadian. I have nothing to say to you. Just - how dare you. You know nothing about me. So don't judge me or my country. What the government does is none of my buisiness- I'm only 14 - what the hell do I do that influences any of that?

[ThisCanadian]

go kill another million people... you know, like Iraq or Vietnam.

ENJOY YOUR BUTCHERY to support you unsustainable culture.

Oh right, I forgot, this is ONLY THE SECOND GLOBAL ECONOMIC MELTDOWN the US has created in under a CENTURY.

which will kill or harm millions upon millions of nonAmericans.

gee, you don't wanna hear that? classy.

[igloopenguin22]

And just because I'm from the US, I take all the flack for all this stuff my country's done? Half this stuff i've not heard of. It's not my fault!

[ThisCanadian]

*snivel*whine*

so grow up & do something about it. A friend of mine held her 16th birthday on the steps of a State Legislature to protest the Occupations & has held brief hunger strikes.

stop snivelling

[igloopenguin22]

So what was the outcome of the hunger strike, except she got hungry? I've fasted to raise money for starving children in Africa, but what did her strike prove? It seems pointless. And if you and your friends want to change the world a protest at a time, be my guest, but don't expect everyone to.

[tommiespain]

Take the rap for being ignorant of the state in which you live and consume. Stop being apathetic, while your young.

[ThisCanadian]

if you wanna swear like a sailor, don't act shocked that we don't know you're 14.

Gee, in a couple of years, you could be IN A DRAFT, smartass.

you don't wanna go catch a bullet guarding an Asian Pipeline route? maybe you should get active in a protest or two before they declare a MILITARY DRAFT on your ass.

[candinski]

This is dumb. It's the 'Church of Stop Shopping' and yet the make DVDs, CDs and books for you to... erm.. BUY!!!!!!

[LMB222]

You're missing the thin (no, thick) line between "buying the necessary goods" (however necessary they are), and stuffing your face with everything that goes. I'm not a devoted Christian, and I do have fits of consumerism, but there are people whose world revolves around consumption. It's aimed at them.

[ThisCanadian]

dumb is the Candinski who can't figure out what he's seeing...

wake up. You've been SOLD a culture of consumption & waste on the backs of the misery of others.

enjoy your 'American Dream'!

[mancini3030]

why the fuck does morgan spurlock have anything to do with this. it's really stupid.

[ZedAlfa273]

No mancini3030 its not stupid, you are.

[lappyo]

AMEN!

[sisterdiggins]

Yeah, these guys are incredible!

[ZedAlfa273]

I love Rev Billy & The Church of Stop Shopping.

I'd like to thank everyone: The Stop Shopping Choir, The Not Gonna Buy It Band, & of course Reverend Billy for all the work that they do in fighting rampant commercialism, materialism, and any other ism that works to destroy the human spirit.

[6Vale6end6]

amen to that
