I was recently sent this video, presumably broadcast shortly after the Osama bin Laden assasination. It makes some very good points (in a witty way).
New rule: If you're a Christian who supports killing your enemies and torture, you have to come up with a new name for yourself.
Martin Luther King gets to call himself a Christian because he actually practised loving his enemies.
He describes Christian hypocrisy as being "like joining Greenpeace and hating whales"
He (Jesus) has lines like "do not repay evil with evil" and "do not take revenge on someone who wrongs you". Really - it's in the book you hold up when you scream at gay people.
Probably the most stinging quotes were
If you ignore every single thing Jesus commanded you to do ... you're not Christ's followers, you're just fans.and
I can say that, because I'm a non-Christian - just like most "Christians"
They are harsh statements - but probably well-deserved.
