The More You Know Christians: The Internet

[qdragon1337]

perhaps i'm just arrogant, but when you mentioned 15 year-olds outsmarting creationists, were you thinking of me?

[eddygoombah]

@qdragon1337 amongst others... yes :)

[TheCdog24]

You need to look to Jesus as the author and perfector of the Christian faith. Not Christians. Christians are flawed. We (Christians) are still human and some are even a terrible example of what it means to be a Christian. Yes we should set a better example. When a Christian stumbles and hurts himself such as drugs or pornography it can definitely hurt his witness. However I really dislike it when a "Christian" hurts someone else by taking advantage of them or calling them degrading names.

[luke2thab]

As if Christians are the only people who do this. How ignorant...

[eddygoombah]

@luke2thab STOP TROLLING YOU CHRISTIAN!

j/k

[luke2thab]

@eddygoombah I try to watch videos on atheism, islam and christianity. I want to be well informed in all the views and religions of the world. We will never have civil peace if people are being mocked and ridiculed for how they live their life. I would never insult you for what you believe because you are a valuable person. What the atheist doesn't grant religious people (muslims and christians) is respect.. I've been called worse names on youtube for my faith, by atheists, on christian videos.

[eddygoombah]

@luke2thab And that's all great. I'm mainly talking about Christian fundamentalists here. This series points out the hypocrisies of people like Ted haggard and Kent hovind. So unless you are someone like that, this wasn't necessarily directed at you. Sorry.

[luke2thab]

@eddygoombah Well. I hope you do know that many of us have a very rational faith and a knowledge of science. Ted Haggard is no doubt a fool and Kent Hovind has problems too. I still think that you are educating people about Christians in general, which is extremely unfair to us all. We christians are family joined by Jesus, no matter how old the world is. I personally hold an old earth view as many intellectual Christians do. I suggest you rethink your presuppositions about all Christians.

[eddygoombah]

@luke2thab Most of my friends are christians, some of whom are much smarter than I. I hold no perspective that all Christians are ignorant Jesus freaks. Who am I to think that? Regardless, this specific series of videos was indeed targeted at fundamental christians, as I said before. If you feel I'm being ignorant, then I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can really do to change that. I stick by the content of this and all my videos.

[onijester56]

@SplatterHouse3Rick "HOWEVER YOU SPELL THIS SHIT" You can't even spell the city. You ignore that it was two people. You ignore that it was one school. So far, you have demonstrated no knowledge on what you talk about.

Also, the person directly states that this video is for "helping Fundamental Christians be as Fundamental as they can be."

So you got angry over not even your friend, making you worse than a troll.

[onijester56]

@SplatterHouse3Rick "IM NOT A CHRISTIAN BUT I GOT A CHRISTIAN FRIEND" I have christian friends, too. So?

"SO YOUR FUCKIN GAY MAN FOR DOIN THIS" If he fucked men then he would be gay. Since this isn't fucking men, he isn't gay.

"WHY DONT YOU SING ABOUT HITLER" Aside from it being done already and Hitler being a Christian...

"OR THE ATHIEST THAT SHOT UP THE SCHOOLS IN THE COLOBINE" It is debatable at best that they were atheists, and not viable to claim it led to their actions.

[MarkusZatac]

I would want O jebus to suck my Cock, but shit he does not exist!

[S0LDIERx0FxG0D]

YEHSHUA HA MACHIAH IS THE LORD

[eddygoombah]

@S0LDIERx0FxG0D Actually, Clapton is god.

[christophorM]

I love it when Jesus told His disciple "let the dead bury the dead"...I think about that one alot.

[theradioschizo]

The comments about irony and sarcasm are hilarious.

[lucaslmgv]

He is being ironic, right?

[eddygoombah]

no, I'm being sarcastic

[lucaslmgv]

What's the difference?

[eddygoombah]

One main difference between irony and sarcasm is that irony is generally observed and sarcasm is generally created.

1) Someone saying "It's such lovely weather outside!" when it's actually raining heavily (irony).

2) Someone saying "Your intelligence astounds me!" when they actually mean the exact opposite, i.e. that the person is stupid (sarcasm).

hope that helped

[lucaslmgv]

I still don't get it. It's the same for me.

[eddygoombah]

They are completely different. and I gave you examples how they are different. sorry, i can't really help you out any more than that.

[PureZOOKS]

Ok then, what makes irony, and sarcasm different from satire?

[eddygoombah]

well, I have already defined irony and sarcasm and shown the differences between them.  However satire is the USE of these ideas to denounce, deride folly, or to ridicule. So it isn't that satire is different from irony or sarcasm, its that sarcasm and irony make up satire.

[DINDRAGON]

Trolls are not Christians. Most of them cannot even get the concept of trolling.

[kalin666]

hahaha, you were half-way in the bible, not yet at the jesus parts, still in the wicked JEWISH PARTS BOOGAH BOOGAH BOO!

[rozeboosje]

ROFL

[Domzdream]

Hey ,Eddie, where've you been? Welcome back.

[eddygoombah]

workin for a living

[Domzdream]

See, I'm pretty lucky in that I get to listen to clips all day, whilst working on my computer. I'm a game's artist, so I get to multi task by doing my 3d work and learning new shti on youtube every blimmin' day. What can I say, yoiutube is addictive.

[JohnK75136]

Jeebus, Jeebus, Jeebus, big hairy Jeebus on a unicycle Jeebus!!

There, I showed you but good, Eddy! Bwha ha ha!

[xqyzii]

damn when you said "Christian way" for a second i thought there you meant proclaiming a holy war on the heathens and slaughtering them.

[brpierce]

The really frightening thing is how well you've mastered VenomfangX's mannerisms and facial expressions.

[prestonparish]

awesome

[BoneySkylord]

Brilliant! LOL! Very true.

Without religion, good people do good things and bad people do bad things.

With religion, "good" people can become evil, vicious bastards and still think they are moral and right.

[coolintruddle]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[kingferret53]

*facepalm* What. The. Fuck. No where in the bible does it say that you have the right to threaten, troll, or anything close to that. What happened to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"? You are a sorry excuse for a Christian if you are willing to corrupt your faith for your own stupidity. UGH!

[DNAunion]

Hello? Is anyone home up there in that head of yours?

[JJR93]

jeesh, what a n00b...(Bugs Bunny voice:) he don't know you very well, do he, eddy?

[kingferret53]

Was he joking around then? I'm all confused...

[AtheistCitizen]

see more of his work...

[itsmaxinthebox]

The problem with parodying a fundamentalist, is that even as crazy as the parody is, there are often even crazier people being serious about it. Don't let it bother ya.

[kingferret53]

I know, I was having a bad day and all. All ready sent a message to apologize. :( lol

[AtheistCitizen]

EG just parodies what he as an atheist sees as active strategy. So sorry for your thickness KF53.

[eddygoombah]

it's called sarcasm. it's a novel concept.

[f1rz3nz3r0]

Yeah, it was invented about two years ago.

[itsmaxinthebox]

Aside from the tone perhaps, and knowing your videos so well, I might have been confused by this as well.  I've actually seen fundamentalists say things like this before. Actually this is pretty tame compared to some of them. Parody is so hard, and someone always misses it! Great video though Eddy. Had me rolling. ^_^

[RHYMEMAIDEN1]

Gee, Eddy, most of your videos are haunted by irretrievably stupid fundy trolls. This one seems to have acquired a humourless poltergeist. He should get regular with RE-LAX! Now with Moral Fiber!

[GnosticDjinn]

A zombie that commands trolls?

We demons controlled by trees feel threatened.

[nasiachristie]

hey - you're funny. Even if you may or may not intend to be. Anyway. I'm a believer and especially in prayer so drop by my page and watch a video of mine about prayer, love and hope. Hope you have an awesome day and keep surprising me xxx

[AuntieDiluvian]

excellent!

[yo1o2eggs]

Why be honest...Catholics can just go to confession later...then POOF! sin begone!

[clownschuhe]

The most fucked up realisation is though that most of the times, there's just no way of distinguishing a genuine troll from a serious fundie nutwhack. In these cases the only way of being absolutely sure is if - and only if - the troll gives a sign (cracks up or admits trolling etc.) he's not for real.

I believe this is also known as the Poe's law. And because of this, I believe in the end no one's willing to engage "real" religious loonies anymore because they think they're just trollin'.

[mnewf2002]

WWJT (Who whould Jesus troll?)

[askegg]

Jesus trolls.

[Moshm4n]

Eddy, are you reading the part of the Bible where it philosophizes that you would make a YouTube account and spout blaspheme all over the internet?

Wouldn't doubt if a troll where to say and actually believe that.

[clizzaster]

+1 for the most dense population of grammatical errors I've seen in a while.

[Moshm4n]

Cool story bro.

[Moshm4n]

btw I meant prophesies, not philosophizes. lol. :/

[ozmoroid]

Good one eddy. 5'er 'n all that.

[myjizzureye]

When you do black and white it does really cut back the glare off your head. Thanks for that.

[eddygoombah]

ding ding ding!

we have our first troll!

[myjizzureye]

Dude if i was a troll i would have said you look like a penis with a goatee. I was only thanking you for your thoughtfulness.

[eddygoombah]

one more "thoughtful" comment and you're gone

[myjizzureye]

(hides behind sofa)

[RobnJake]

Funny thing... I saw a newly posted video by a certain Geek earlier today.

[SeekerLancer]

It's funny (and sad) because it's true. Michelle Malkin even said on Fox News that the religious should deal with atheists by making fun of them and mocking them.

[apocalypseap]

The best part about Michelle Malkin saying that the religious should make fun of atheists is the fact that all they can do to attempt to make fun of atheists is use Straw Man arguments while the atheists make fun of what the religious actually believe.

[ProfessorDemetri]

i laughed outloud, and rated 5 star

nicely done

[dhcrazy333]

now i know!

[SeekerLancer]

And knowing is half the battle!

[Bueller007]

Christians know:

THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS.

[Loustrikesagain]

Good video. lol. I've always wondered though, why don't you ever address other religions? What about Hindus and Muslims? I know you usually are just responding to trolling, but your channel is mainly focused on being against Christian idiots. What about all the other stupid people out there who might troll less, but are just the same as any brainwashed Christian. Just wondering about that.

[eddygoombah]

because I live in the states, and like I state in my video, 82% of the nation's religious affiliations are held by christian.

[ChoofMonster]

Australia is improving in that respect - according to our latest (2006) census, 62% are "Christian" and the next largest group is atheist/agnostic at 19%.

[Loustrikesagain]

That makes sense.

[portecar000]

god that was pretty awesome.

[anglicantian]

Thanks for letting the truth be heard, mr. Goombah. RAmen.

[Scoob505]

No not recently. I hear he is under the weather

[Scoob505]

uh.. I am a christian and I feel in no way intellectually threatened. I am just as educated if not more so than many atheists on the net.

[eddygoombah]

are you a fundamental christian?

that's kinda who I'm talking about.

[Scoob505]

Nope, Irish liberal Catholic. Open to Evolution ( as are all of us ) homosexuality and other weird shit like that.

[eddygoombah]

well, then, you are not whom I am addressing in this vid.

btw, just downloaded humbug by arctic monkeys...

can't wait to check it out

[Scoob505]

Eddy, jsut remember, its a grower, Some people take a while to get into it. I loved it from day one but others take a while, like a "Humbug" sweet.

Their best work by far.

[eddygoombah]

I heard one track from it a couple months ago and it was amazing, so I am thinking I will like it

[ebullock43]

Testify brother! Be a Christian -- or else...;)

[LeafHuntress]

Hmmmm, i didn't know Jesus was an Old Testament prophet.... Well you learn something new every day.....

(you had the bible open in the middle, seeing as the OT is a bit bigger than the NT you had to be somewhere around psalms/ provebs (^.^)

[eddygoombah]

and i care because?

lol

seems like someone is a bit too nit picky for their own good.

;P

[apocalypseap]

Actually, Jesus did tout that he was not to revoke the lord's word (the old testament) but he was to enforce it, soo.. he was an old testament preacher by technicality.

[LeafHuntress]

Indeed, but if i encouter xtians who cherrypick only the "good" parts, i don't point that out to them b/c i rather have xtians of the hippie variety then creotards.

My post was just in jest, i don't know why it was thumbed down. It was just a remark b/c when i open my bible (the thing is lost now, i use the SAB now, very good!) the bad book always opens somewhere around that. I've seen what a GOOD woman should do (prov 31; work her arse of while DH sits talking by the gates) numerous times.

[GnosticDjinn]

Perhaps, we should all be glad we weren't killed for working on Sunday. Or Saturday, since some say it's the real Sabbath.

[GoblinXXX]

You're doing the Lord's work, Brother Goombah.

[philhellenes]

Yet another reason I don't think they really believe a word of it (I think I have about 100 now).

[Katalyzt]

Heh ★★★★★

[jailarson]

And Jesus sayeth "Go forth unto the world of the interwebs. Whilst there, thou shalt ignore everything I taughtest you about loving thine enemy and turning cheeks and some such. Thou shalt instead seek to destroy the the enemies of the lord through the use of poor spelling and unintelligable sentence structure. Thou shalt also use nothing but capital letters in your assault on the enemy."

[jailarson]

Oh, I forgot. Thou shalt be known as "Holy Trollers".

[eddygoombah]

thumbs up for coining "holly trollers"

[jailarson]

I can't believe no one beat me to it.

[hugesinker]

THINKING UR GRANDAD WAS A MONKEY WHO CAME FROM NOTHING?! LULZ!! UR TEH ST0PiD!

[greycloud24]

the irony, it burns

[hugesinker]

@greycloud24

U KNOW WHAT ALSO BURNNS!! HELL!!

[AnonEyeMouse]

Grandpa was actually a fish. Grandma was a rat, Momma was the Monkey and pappa was a rolling stone.

Get it right creotard.

[LynxChan]

Time it will take a Christian to take this video as a serious suggestion?

My bet is....5 minutes.

[djarm67]

Thou shalt not troll

Boxxy 12:25

[calebnf]

"For Jesus spake unto the multitudes among the city of Jerusalem saying, 'For if even one dost speak evils against you, or if he knowest more than thou, remember me also. Trollest thou the tubes in my name. For even if you, being an ignorant moron, troll in my name, thou shalt be rewarded in the kingdom of heaven. For he who does not troll in my name, and be thou an insufferable twat, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven.' "

-John 22:6

[CognosSquare]

Were you reading the one about where some sick person asks Jesus for help and Jesus goes "No, preexisting condition lol".

[tattimusprime]

lol well said eddy :)

[CousinoMacul]
