Thanks for standing up for the down-trodden heathen everywhere; they won't be stifling our free speech, will they? I like your guts, Claude.

"We'll never ever take his name in vain - LORD! GOD! NO!" - ROFL

Thanks, Royce but I only wish I could take credit for this one. I came thisclose to submitting mine in the monkey room today. I have a pretty good idea who it is though (duh). Spectacular stuff Monkeys.

Who filled up the monkey room and taught them typistry?
C-L-A-
U-D-E
4-P-R-E-Z!

Excellent! Perfect score!

A five for guts, but a one for taste! Forgive him, Father, for he knows not what he does!

now there's one for an amiright award. as usual, c4p, you pull one off with only the uproarious stuff that a ten-and-a-half year old could do. 5-5-5.

no, wait, too bad we can't vote for 6's... then it'd be a 666. lol

Hilarious! All 5's you crazy pagan, you!

Good job

Thanx, Royce & Philbo & Spaff & Ellipsis & Michael (kind of) & Static & Harv & BF. And thanks most of all to the big man upstairs, i.e., Claude.

What is wrong with you? You make jokes about things you don't believe in, but other people take very, very seriously. I have a feeling you're mostly a bunch of little baby teenagers who haven't matured yet.....and probably never will. GROW UP.

Hey, Me - you mean we'd have to believe in something before we can make jokes about it? Hmm... that'd be really hard. I'll have you know I'm not a little baby teenager, but a thirty-something who hasn't matured yet, and is kind of hoping he never will. After all, if being mature means leaving pathetic anonymous messages, I'm immature and proud of it.

Phil, you were assuming in your answer to the person named 'me'. What he/she said was not to poke fun at things that OTHER people take seriously, not meaning that you had to believe in them..just respect them.

responding to that guy up there who calls himself "Me"- most of us are teenagers!

Except for me. I'm in my 20s.

Me too. I'm 23.

By the way, I give a perfect score.

Im 23, and I say this was friggin awesome! For what it's worth, anyway.

Adagio, I hear what you're saying, but don't agree: there's lots of things that some people will take seriously - sex, politics, bowel movements, you name it. If you think about it, that's where a lot of humour comes from - if there wasn't somebody to think "this ain't funny", then it simply wouldn't *be* funny. What I don't understand is why some religious people think their all-singing all-dancing all-knowing all-powerful God just can't take a joke.

Me: Your question is answered in the statement immediately following it. :-) Actually, this parody is not an expression of disbelief in God or Christianity; it was written more as a lampoon of the superiority complex common among true believers of nearly any faith. ("I'm right. God agrees. Case closed.")

Philbo:
Spaff's First Rule of Humor: "It's OK to make fun of anything EXCEPT THE STUFF *I* LIKE."

i've been singing this to myself so much, but I forgot Krishna, so I replaced it with Saddam... we learned one thing in social studies this year: Saddam is Iraq's religious leader.

Yeah, and their theme song is "Keep On The Sunni Side of Life." Excellent parody, BTW. I can imagine a roomful of copycats on the way. d;:^)

Me: Not everyone here are teenagers...many here are quite old ;-) ....anyway, Static, Saddam is not really Iraqs religious leader, Iraq was a secular nation, so the church had nothing to do with the state

uh... yes he is. he's the caliph. i checked it.

He's a secular leader who "found" Islam as a way of getting some of the more credulous elements in the middle east to think of him as a hero protecting them against the West: it would be a bit like GWB declaring himself an archbishop...

I'm a recently retired teenager (turned 20 in august) a devout follower and believer of the lord Jesus Christ. and I still thought this was great. Free speech is a hot issue, everyone can relate. Funny how the "teenagers" of the site were able to see the satire and humor and the all-omnipotent Mr. Me wasn't.

If Saddam was the religious leader then the nation would be a theocracy, which it isnt.....Iraq was a secular nation....beleive me, I took enough courses on the Modern middle east to know this....

well ok. my social studies teacher isn't the best anyway.

You're all a bunch of dorks. This parody was pretty well written though. So I guess I have to give it a bit of credit afterall. The real reason I took offense is becuase the Mickey Mouse club was one of my favorite shows and I just couldn't handle the thought of it being abused

well, commenter who calls yourself "Me" (had to avert confusion, sorry...), i can't think of any time i've seen mickey mouse actually being abused. but the club might be, just due to justin timbelake, which sucks, cause there was a lot more to the old show, which i saw a few times.

Amusingly enough, on the subject of not being able to handle favorite songs being abused: one of my friends told me it just wasn't cool to mess with anything by the Beatles :-). And I think most of us here have done THAT. So basically what that says is: don't take offense that easily.

Oh yeah. Also, 5/5/5

Belated thanks to nally & Karlando & B-Go & Stretch Armstrong & "Me" & neminem. And Claude, especially, for your indulgence.

OK if I use this in my "Passion" soundtrack?

Sure thing, Mel.

Just saw this because of the comments. Very clever piece of work. There's a website called "Parodeity" or "Parodeities" (something close to that) - which posts both pro and anti-Christian parodies (they list some works from this site). Anyway, this should be there if it isn't already.

Perfect score! I'm 24, by the way.

Uproariously funny. Throughout the parody, the image of Annette Funicello marching around, dressed as Mary Magdalene, kept flitting through my mind. Clever, but the type of thing you wish you would have come up with FIRST. 5-5-5

Thanx, X and Emi l'oca, both for your comments and for resurrecting this.

RJP: Just saw your note. Thanx - I'll check that out.

Even I think this is funny. LORD! GOD! NO! cracked me up. I actually didn't find this disrespectful at all. Irreverent, but not disrespectful.

I gave you all 5's because I'm a Christian!

Thanx, Your Ordainedness. (Sorry - I'm not sure what the appropriate title is for a Presbyterian Deacon.) And WhizkidF: Thanx for your Christian charity.

Wow! This parody's been on the site a whole year now! I'm replacing my vote, since the ballot box seems to have gotten emptied.

Belated thanx, Ellipsis.

Yer welcome. By the way, I was 23 when I first commented on this, and now I am 24...but I'll be 25 in about a month and a half.
