Vintage 21

Today I was showing the vintage 21 videos to a couple friends, and I don't think they found it as funny as I did. These videos are on You Tube and I guess to some people can be considered controversial. Personally I find them hilarious. The videos are done by a youth pastor, and they're supposed to represent how the secular world views Christianity. He's taken clips from the movie The Greatest Story Ever Told, and he's dubbed voices over top to change the "Jesus story" to what non-Christians might view as the "Jesus story".
There's one part where I think in the movie Jesus is greeting all of his disciples, but in the vintage 21 videos hes telling each of them what they've done wrong since he's seen them last, "Andrew you said a naughty word when you hit your finger with a hammer, James you laughed at him when he hit his finger".
I think it's a funny way to open up non-Christians eyes to see how silly it is to think that Jesus only allows us to have fun if we're "laughing at how dumb the devil is", or we can only be Christians if we "wear a t-shirt with (Jesus') face on it". Some people think the videos are making fun of God, but i think you don't know God very well if you think those videos are how Jesus lived here on earth.
