We must consider who will be influenced by this kind of stunt

Hopefully as many as possible!

You call it manipulative trash? That's rich coming from someone knee deep in organized "religion".

watch this and get back to me:

Where is 'your' outcry over the above???

Penn and Teller, ha! lol! what are you trying to say exactly. Number one I do not believe in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. I do not believe I must have the pope as the intercessor to God for me, that is the whole point of the Holy Spirit.

I'm glad you judge me so quickly knowing so much about me. As far as organized religion goes, that is the problem. I'm not into religion, I am into Christ. My personal relationship with Jesus is what matters to me. Even in the Christian churches there are people being led astray. I really don't need to go into detail with you, as you will not know what i am talking about.

There needs to be a differentiation between organized religion and following Christ.

Misbehave and you're going to suffer eternally (Hell, Satan) - so people, not knowing any better at the time, with the general population far less educated than todays, then behaved. Behave and you'll go to heaven ,with God - Again similar situation.

No wonder you are so against Christianity. According to your post, you have no idea what a follower of Christ or a Christian is. There is nothing about one's behavior that determines whether or not a person is a Christian. One cannot earn his or her way to heaven.

Salvation was given to all as a free gift.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from youselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one
can boast."

To think that true evil does not exist is very naive. For if there is good, then there must be it's counter part, evil.

I stated in my OP that this very well may have been a joke, in my opinion one of poor taste. Could it be that as a society that is bombarded with multiple media constantly, we are desensitized to what is really happening.
How far down the slope have we slid when we think it is "funny" to mockingly pray to one that represents the greatest evil ever known.

Do you think Satan is going to come right out and introduce himself for all to know? Satan does not work that way. He comes after you with the nuances, most don't recognize.Once he has your attention, he works on you over time it might be the smallest variation. By the time you notice something is wrong, he's trapped you.

Think of an addict, the first time he gets high is that the goal? No, he just wanted to try something new. Then the day comes when the person must have it just to get by.

I find it disturbing, yet not surprising, more people are not bothered by this.

Thank you for your comments.

He was promoting Brutal Legend. So, if you want to blame something, blame the game!

The game is a satire (weird thing when talking about a comedian... isn't it?) about metal and how rock have changed from it to the crap that's called "rock" nowadays... the scenarios and creatures almost all mimics metal and rock band's CD/LP covers, it's so full of demons and other kind of devilish creatures, and he fights against them... WITH AN AXE AND AN ELECTRIC GUITAR!!!!!!!!!
Ozzy Osbourne is also on the game
Here's the trailer, I've played the demo by myself in the PS3 and God, I enjoyed it. It's now on my "to buy" list.

It's labeled M (+18) so your children is safe.

And even when I'm not part of any church, I believe in God and Jesus. I think that devil is everywhere you want to see it... and i don't see it on the game nor on Black's speech.

Alow me you disagrre, but I will stay respectful even though I think you are WAY off the mark here.

You are gonna get flammed pretty bad for this, you know that right?

Anyway, here we go. When I was a teenager, I studied "witchcraft" and the Satanic Bible, iw ore Marilyn Manson shirts, went to a concert of his too. I covered every notebook I had with goat heads, pentegrams, Keys of Solomon, I wore shirts with eveil symbols. In other words, I constantly surrounded myself with all things "evil".

And you know what? Never did I once have a truly evil thought. I still daydreamed of the day I would be in the right situation at the right time to be a "hero" and save the day for someone. I still visited my grandparents and huged them. Still told my folks I loved them.

My point is, kids are influenced by some things, sure, but it cannot change who they REALLY are on the inside. Jack Black of all people is not going to lead our youth into oblivion. I tried damn hard to raise hell, and nothing ever happened, so I just don't believe in boogiemen and demons and what have you.

Oh yeah, and it WAS a joke.
