I used to watch this show. I think it was called "Fire By Night." It was actually pretty entertaining, that is, compared to most Christian programming.
Now would Sarah Palin approve or disapprove of this use of 'retard'? I'm going to go with 'approve' because to her if one of her kind uses it, it is ok. Sadly, that's not the only kind of cognitive dissonance she is capable of.
And it is disheartening to see that in the 24th century, fake Christians are still not behaving like Christians should according to their own scriptures (contradictory as they are).
I could have gone my whole life without considering whether or not Klingons were circumsized.
And I know it's impossibly appropriate and wonderful that the Captain's name sounds like "Retard," but any chance they could have been saying "ritard?"
I went without EIT for two weeks. This video shows that not only are you guys still finding terrible stuff, but that the crap is getting worse. This was... everything bad, concentrated into a bottle of cess.
Were they doing it on purpose? Because they sure as hell succeeded.
The guitar duel is a rip-off of "Bobby and the Devil" from Kids In The Hall! (OK, via Crossroads.) Right down to the "No" at the end. I kind of felt bad for the Klingon: I'd curl up and die if I had to listen to Christian folk-rock.
I don't know, somehow I feel the phrase, "And if the Klingon doesn't like it, he can sit on a phaser and die." is going to become part of my everyday repertoire.
What is the source of this video? Is it an extreme Christian group that made it or is this yet another example of someone mocking Christians, putting it out as Christian material and getting the rest of their hate-filled compatriots to fall for it, all sword-rattly and fired up about those dumb ignorant Christians?
I got subjected to a lot of that culture as a child, and nope, that's no "mean mockery" of Christians. I get the feeling that's heartfelt and authentic, right down to the random Scripture quotes. It's the sort of thing perky young adults would produce to show how they had the joy of the Lord unbridled. They're praising Christ with electric guitars and sheer enthusiasm, the basis of all Christian Rock!
In a world where Evangelicals get completely hysterical about same-sex marriage, because, y'know, you have to talk about sex to explain love, they're okay with bringing up, for no particularly necessary reason, circumcision? DUDE - you're GONNA have to talk about a penis at that point, at minimum.
As a follower of the Way, I swell with pride at this rousing sketch, here preserved for the ages. Seriously, tho, John 3:16. Keep up the good/ bad work, EIT!
CORRECTION: I have a different episode. it must have been a series. In mine, they confront video games and go to the planet "Nivinentendo" to free the video game slaves.
It's from a christian music/sketch show called Fire by Night, so they're probably calling him captain "ritard" (musical term for slowing the tempo), not captain retard.
Well lemme say straight up that its incorrect that they focused on circumcision — in the New Testament theres a whole thing where god visits one of the apostles and tells them its okay to eat pork and shellfish etc and repeals all the crazy Old Testament laws and EXPLICITLY states that point forward all Christians are to be uncircumcised.
Captain Retard?? hahaha
ReplyDeletegot a funny feeling they got some pro-wrestlers to play the klingons
ReplyDeleteNOTHING CAN EVER BE WORSE THAN THIS
ReplyDeleteDidn't Jesus talk about forgiving one's enemies, not hurling objects like a shuriken into their foreheads?
ReplyDeleteThe name of the captain of a Christian ship being Captain Retard can only be described as accurate.
ReplyDeleteI hope they got sued for copyright infringement.
Well, I don't know about you guys, but this video sure converted me to Christianity.
ReplyDeleteThis is the worst thing ever.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch this show. I think it was called "Fire By Night." It was actually pretty entertaining, that is, compared to most Christian programming.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to no longer subscribe to this religion.

Set your phasers on hypocrite.
Oh, and the Klingons look more like the baddies from Battlefield Earth.

Wow. In 2 minutes they managed to say degrading things about both the mentally disabled AND other Christians in under 90 seconds. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteSo wait...does that mean it's unchristian to be uncircumcised? Ruh-roh!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the Klingon word for circumcision?
ReplyDeleteI'm sad that the awesome shark battleship got relegated to this abomination.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the "Bizzare Christian Horseshit" expansion pack for Star Trek Online. Maybe I'll find out if Ferengi have dicks!

The Klingon's evil lair looks like the transmitter room for my college's radio station. Good gawd.

ReplyDeleteI swear one of those Klingons was Hulk Hogan brother!!!!
ReplyDeleteI swear to god, in the first klingon-scene: the left klingon is Glenn Beck!

ReplyDeleteGo to http://klingonsforjesus.50webs.com/
ReplyDeleteJesus was a Warrior and is the Klingon Messiah
this is maybe the best thing i have ever seen....
ReplyDelete+1000 wtf.
Christians, you know you can't solve all your problems with impromptu talent shows
ReplyDeleteps I enjoyed John Travolta in this.
kinda crossroadish that guitar duel !
ReplyDeleteWhere is the 'worst thing ever' tag???
ReplyDeleteIt's like they gave Larry the Cable Guy his own live action show on Adult Swim.
ReplyDeleteI love EIT, but I think this is living proof that kitsch and irony are officially beyond dead.
so thats where jim belushi ended up!..got to hand it to him though his portrayal of a guitar playing klingon stole the show

ReplyDeleteIf Jesus hates Klingons, how does he feel about Kzinti?
ReplyDeleteAs a follower of the Way, I swell with pride at this rousing sketch, here preserved for the ages. Seriously, tho, John 3:16. Keep up the good/ bad work, EIT!
ReplyDeleteSo... does it stand to reason that all uncircumcised men are of Klingon lineage?
ReplyDeleteJoel Osteen's early drama ministry.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE THIS ON VHS!!!
ReplyDeleteseriously considered sending it into EIT, but was too lazy to convert to digital. :D It's AWESOME!!!
CORRECTION: I have a different episode. it must have been a series. In mine, they confront video games and go to the planet "Nivinentendo" to free the video game slaves.
ReplyDeleteTungsai, we will totally still take that VHS off of your hands.
ReplyDeleteI want this whole movie! This looks like it would be awesome in its own way.
ReplyDeleteIt's from a christian music/sketch show called Fire by Night, so they're probably calling him captain "ritard" (musical term for slowing the tempo), not captain retard.
ReplyDeleteThat said, it's still pretty awful.
NOOOO STOPPP NOOO I WOULD RATHER SIT ON A PHASER AND DIE THAN LISTEN TO HIS DRIVEL
ReplyDelete...And yet, still better than Battlefield Earth
ReplyDeleteYou know, this is much more amusing before you let yourself acknowledge that it isn't a parody of any sort...

ReplyDeleteSo wtf America?
Of course the Klingons are circumcised. Blood sacrifice which is normal for Klingons. It is probably a right of passage to manhood.
