The past few days I’ve been surfing around YouTube more than usual. Once I got into the rabbit hole (if you’ve ever wasted time on YouTube, you know just what I’m saying), I started to come across some pretty interesting, funny and encouraging videos dealing with the topic of religion, namely Christianity. I thought I’d take the next couple of days to share them.
The first one I’d like to share is a pretty poignant parody of Rob Bell’s Nooma video about the Bullhorn Guy. In so many words, Rob Bell’s original video short directed his speaking to a man with a "bullhorn", criticizing preachers and teachers for holding firm doctrines and for preaching a hard-nosed gospel of repentance. A parody of Bell’s Nooma video was produced, it seems, by some folks at parishnot.com. I can’t vouch for that organization, but I can vouch for the video. It’s both funny and responds well to Bell’s admittedly absent theological ground.
It’s a bit long, about 6 minutes, but worth watching.
