1. I had seen the toys and made fun of them, but I only recently found out

about them being Christian videos. Veggies talking bout the Lord is creepy! Do kids enjoy eating their veggies more? I would think that it might bother some children. Needless to say my kids will be brought up on old episodes of Sesame Street and maybe a little bit of South Park when they are teens.

5. I was lurking around a Christian bookstore

They had a whole wall of Veggie videos.

Of course, I remember the old claymation Davey and Goliath kid videos from when I was young as being fairly creepy and icky.

2. SNL did a parody of them

It was a Smigel cartoon called religetables or something like that. Definitely the funniest part of the show.

3. They are pretty goofy; my grandchildren have a couple of the videos

and really liked them when they were a couple years younger.

Excerpt:

My journey through the Holocaust museum began in the section dedicated to Nazi propaganda. Pausing by each display, I was startled by words that could so easily describe America today. The quotes brought stark reminders that, apart from God, human nature doesn't change with time. Nor do the aims of the spiritual mastermind behind the scenes who has always sought ways to stir hatred toward God's people. One tactic was simply to provide nice-sounding alternatives to biblical loyalty and service.

"Individuals were urged to sacrifice themselves for a greater 'People's Community,'" announced one of the displays. Such slogans must have sounded good to the masses, for few saw the cruel manipulation behind the noble words.

I thought of President Clinton's calls for "sacrifice", "service, "unity", "common values", "civil society," and "safe" communities. How many people today see the ominous new meanings behind these nice sounding words?

6. Oh, my aching head

Admins - where is my :headbangingonwall: icon?

Another red light -- they are popular among non-Christian families. Since we live in a day with such opposition to traditional Christian values I believe this to be a bad sign...

Go on, read it again.

Think it through. Milk is popular among non-Christian families. By this logic, Christians should avoid drinking milk.

The mind boggles.

7. More

I usually feel that the Christian world is always following the world by Christianizing things to make them acceptable to the Christian community.

:wtf: does this mean??? Is she talking about bringing rock musicians into the sanctuary? Bible verses in car advertisements?

We still seem like an isolated sub-culture that has little impact on the dominate culture.

That's because your a cult.

I guess I get tired of this western form of Christianity and want to keep the gospel simple and do what Jesus did (instead of doing in all this other churchy stuff).

I don't think she understands that the Eastern form of Christianity is Orthodox and Coptic which is even "churchier" than what she's talking about.

It seems that our culture is hungry for the supernatural.

What is the world does this have to do with Veggie tales??? It's a cartoon. This isn't Harry Potter.

If we were more like the first century church- feeding the poor, healing the sick, and walking with the Spirit,...

That's not supernatural?????

...I think we would have more of an impact. I know my church does these things, yet still seems to have little impact on our town.

Exactly what impact are you expecting to have?

8. AIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!

teaches them about certain aspects of the Bible we'd rather not tell them

Oh, you betcha. Let's just gloss over David and Bathsheba, David and Jonathan, David and his concubines, David and anything else that moved, Solomon and 700 wives and 300 concubines, half a dozen other prophets and their wives and concubines and daughters, Lot and his daughters, Moses and his maid, "if a man sell his daughter to be a maid-servant", what really happened at Sodom, what really happened to Onan, the story of the Levite's daughter...

Can you say "cafeteria Christianity"?

9. Trog, it's driving you nuts isn't it???

I read that shit forever last night. It was like a bad car wreck, or an amazing mullet at the state fair. I just couldn't look away.
