Get 'em young, keep 'em until the Preacher does Something Naughty That Adults Shouldn't Do To Children.

[Crumb]

:puke:

[godfry n. glad]

That's 'cause they been 'touched' by the hand o' Gawd.

That Gawd is pretty gropey ol' geezer.

[ChuckF]

That pretty reasonably approximates the last sermon I sat through. At a funeral, of all places. Baptists are strange.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

I like how the adults are completely oblivious to the fact god is mocking them through this innocent child.

[Dingfod]

You have to watch what you say in front of small children, they're great mimics.

[Shelli]

:whatthefuck:

I hate when preachers give sermons at a funeral. It's a service honoring the memory of someone who has died not a chance to preach. It is soo much worse when the preacher barely knew the deceased.

[Dingfod]

I hate it when a preacher talks about the deceased going to heaven when the deceased didn't give a crap about religion, at least not enough to go to church, and was generally a son-of-a-bitch to everyone he ever met.

[Angakuk]

What adults? I didn't see any adults and I only heard one adult voice that sounded like it was coming from behind the camera. The kid's father maybe? How do we know that the whole thing is not intended to be a mockery, including the cameraman's verbal ejaculations?

You do realize, I hope, that a preacher is not a necessary accoutrement to a funeral/memorial service/celebration of life. However, if the family hires a preacher for the funeral, one might reasonably assume that they expect a sermon. I mean, preachers preach. What else would they hire one for, a yo-yo demonstration maybe?

As for a funeral not being an appropriate occasion for a sermon, there is no better venue than a Christian funeral for preaching the gospel. A competent preacher will use that occasion as an opportunity to present the gospel in such a way that the presentation of it honors the memory of the deceased and has meaning for those who are mourning the loss of a loved one. A really good preacher will do this in such a way that it is not obvious that the preacher barely knew the deceased and will do this without falsely eulogizing the deceased. A barely competent preacher will, at the least, manage to pronounce the deceased's name correctly while delivering the gospel. An incompetent hack will either trot out some canned message that does not take into account the life of the deceased and the needs of the survivors or deliver a flowery eulogy that is equally unrelated to the facts of the deceased's life. A profoundly incompetent, and inconsiderate, preacher will use the occasion as an opportunity to flog the memory of the deceased and parade the miserable miscreant's career of sin and degradation as an object lesson for those who might be inclined to pursue a similar course in life.

[Qingdai]

That was a silly video. All I heard was baby babble.
Kids are great mimics.

[Sock Puppet]

Now I feel compelled to revise my trust, and demand that my funeral include a yo-yo demonstration.

I hear tell that Ang does a wicked "walking the dog".

[Angakuk]

It is all true. I have, in fact, been known to perform yo-yo tricks in connection with funerals.

[Dingfod]

The best one is yo-yo-ing with the yo-yo with the long string down into the grave and and back up symbolizing the death and burial and then the resurrection of the corpse in the Tribulation.

Shouldn't your handle be in all caps? :P

[Dingfod]

Why so?

Uh, that would be Judgement Day, not the Tribulation. I just hate it when people get their apocalyptic references all mixed up.

[Dingfod]

I'm not well versed, no pun intended, in biblical end-times prophesy.

[Caligulette]

that video is cr-fucken-eepy.

I can understand that. The fact of the matter is that if you hire a preacher and object to him giving a sermon then it is your own fault for hiring him at the outset. If not being subject to a sermon is that important, then have a non-denominational funeral service. There must be funeral services that don't use religion in one form or another in the actual funeral for the deceased,

This kid reminds me of Marjoe Gortner, who came to fame as the youngest ordained Pentecostal preacher at the age of 4.

He makes more sense than a lot of preachers I heard at church, and a lot less sinful.
