Christian group releases bizarre video about Jesus and the Holocaust

[DonViejo]

Warning: This video cannot be unseen

ELIAS ISQUITH

Unless their goal was to massively troll not only Jews but any people who think the Holocaust isn’t something that should be exploited for marketing purposes, Jews for Jesus’ new video is a huge mistake.

However, if the goal was to troll, then well done, Jews for Jesus, you managed to be terrible on purpose. Bravo. (For what it’s worth, a spokesperson for the group said their intent was not to troll but rather to “engage people in a conversation,” whatever that means.)

Anyway, check out the video below to see what it would be like if Jesus were sent to a Nazi death camp and selected to be gassed. If you’re Jewish, Jews for Jesus apparently thinks this will make you want to convert to Christianity rather than, say, throw-up in your mouth.

And if you’re not Jewish? Well, you wont need to convert, obviously — but you probably still will throw-up in your mouth.

1. You sure this is not a Funny or Die video?

The costuming is very non authentic.

2. Now not quite threw in my mouth.

But that is....well...special

[Half-Century Man]

3. Well....lets engage in a conversation shall we?

I think the people who made this are , 1: delusional, for thinking this would influence anyone to think well of them; 2: are as historically accurate as "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe"; and 3: incredibly bad story tellers (this might even be proof of their collective inability to communicate or even think coherently).

4. Have you ever met any of them?

I have.

You just described them to a T.

[Half-Century Man]

5. Not I good idea, I....historicly lack restraint.

I no longer get physical...but verbally confrontational.
I reduced a couple of teenage twits trying to save my children to tears at a parade a few years ago. It was infantile, over the top and very self satisfying.

6. A few years back, they tried their shit

during the Yom Kippur Service, when you go to water to thrown away your sins.

Hungry, tired Jews at the end of that do not make a fun loving, chiefly receptive audience. None planned it, we all turned and gave them our back like if it was on cue. It wasn't, it just looked like that.

7. that was something else

Not sure what to say.

[COLGATE4]

8. Gives the word 'obscenity' a whole

new meaning.

[Wounded Bear]

9. It has been my experience that people who insist on wanting to "engage in a conversation"...

tend to have untenable positions, unsupported by science, history, or other factual bases and are crying out to give their bullshit a "fair hearing" it doesn't deserve.
