Russel Brand is impressive for being able to joke with these people like that.

Are these guys really WBC members?  They seem more like people who want to make WBC seem like a convention of idiots.

Arguably they're actually better at being christians than a lot of other people. Their horrible beliefs are actually written in the bible.

Russel Brand's response to everything they said was "but yeah I think peace and lover and tolerance are more important".

I wish Brand was a bit more knowledgeable about the crazy shit that is in the Bible and called them out on beard-shaving, mixed fibres in clothing, killing your non-virgin-at-marriage wife and all that stuff.  But it's Brand and he's a bit of a pillock.... so it was never going to happen....  :(

This.

He just tried to be funny the whole time instead of actually reading up on things to ask them properly that might actually flummox them ie. "okay so you just said everything in the bible is important and has to be followed, why are you wearing a mixed fibre t-shirt then? It says right here _____"

Of course their response would be mental gymnastics but at least that would expose them as doing such rather than just repeating "love and tolerance" over and over again while they actually provide a relatively robust argument that the bible supports their beliefs.

No gymnastics.  Haven't you heard that Levitical Law is for Jews only?  (Except the parts Christians like, like the ban against homosexuality - which a) isn't in the OT at all and b) what they think is the ban isn't in Leviticus.)

Indeed.  The Christians like to forget that Jesus was a Jew..... it's a little inconvenient  :lol:

I can't tell you how many times I've been told by Christians that Jesus was the first Christian.  (And anyone who doesn't understand how ludicrous that assertion is, doesn't understand enough about the first to fourth century Middle East to be taken seriously.)

(And that's not even considering that "Jesus" was most likely nothing more than a myth.)

Since christian means "follower of christ" (right?) I now have an image stuck in my head of jesus trying to catch his own robes the way a dog follows his own tail.

Oh yes indeed, and that other classic that Jesus 'invented' Christianity....  :roll:
